Upon completing his doctorate, Dr. Oswald opened his office in Manhattan, followed by his second office in upstate New York and his part time clinic in the Middle East.
In 2011 he started studying Fascial Manipulation with Dr. Antonio Stecco, Dr. Warren Hammer and Stefano Casadei. Even though Dr. Oswald was at the time running two highly successful soft tissue based practices, he was immediately and deeply impressed with the science base, complexity, sophistication and effectiveness of this approach. He took the workshop series many times, including Fascial Manipulation for Internal Dysfunction, observed a number of the one day cadaver studies (under Dr. Antonio Stecco and one with Dr. Carla Stecco), took two Master Classes with Stefano Casadei, participated in two Fascial Congresses and, finally, became accepted for the Teacher’s Certification Program. In this program he assisted in many seminars including the seminars for the Arizona Diamondbacks professional baseball team’s training staff. He received his Teacher Certification in Fascial Manipulation in 2017.
Dr. Oswald has also edited many of the lectures for the Fascial Manipulation teachers’ presentations and is writing one chapter for the upcoming book on Fascial Manipulation.
