Born in Boston, Massachusetts USA completed his Masters in Physical Therapy in 2004 at University of Connecticut. Jeremy developed a passion for movement by study with David Tiberio and Gary Gray of the Gray Institute of Functional Transformation. The full body nature and interconnectedness necessary to function in our environment drove an interest in full body movement and manual intervention. Further study with the Jones institute of Strain-Counter Strain introduced a comprehensive manual approach. Jeremy’s introduction to Fascial Manipulation was in 2012 Bethesda, Maryland where one of the first courses by the Stecco Institute was presented in the USA.
Since 2012 Jeremy attended each Stecco course several times with 6 different teachers. Fascial Manipulation was a natural addition to his practice and by 2018 had become the primary manual modality used in practice.
Jeremy was certified as a FM specialist in 2019 and after 4 years of teaching with his mentor Larry Steinbeck, Colleen Whitford, and Antonio Stecco, Jeremy became an instructor in 2023. Jeremy has been in private practice in various forms since 2008.
Currently Jeremy practices in the Back Bay neighborhood in Boston as the only certified practitioner and instructor in the region. Currently Jeremy’s practice, Sollus Unified Health, see patients ranging from the highest level athletes to those who are enduring a near complete loss of physical functioning. Jeremy uses the Stecco model to collaborate with providers of all types with the goal of treating each patient as a “unified” whole.

Lingua principale: English Dr. Oswald received his Bachelor of Arts Degree, cum laude, in the Honours Program of Villanova University in 1973. He received his doctorate degree, cum laude, in Chiropractic in 1985. 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.
