Slings Myofascial Training is Now FAMO Fascia Movement
As we transition from Slings Myofascial Training to FAMO Fascia Movement, your practice, educational progress, and achievements remain fully recognized. Rest assured, your journey continues seamlessly, with ongoing support and the same high standard of education.
The Journey
Since 2008, Karin Gurtner has continuously refined and expanded Slings Myofascial Training, drawing from fresh insights, practical experience, and evolving science. Over time, this resource-oriented, integrative movement practice has grown in scope and depth, supporting the body, mind, and heart in even more meaningful ways.
We have also been listening to you—celebrating your successes and joy with the concept, while recognizing the challenges in conveying its name. As a result, a new name has emerged: FAMO Fascia Movement.
We hope you love it as much as we do!
What Does FAMO Stand For?

Working with FAMO Fascia Movement
Timetable Friendly
FAMO is short and catchy, making it perfect for a movement class timetable.
Using the full name, FAMO Fascia Movement, in class descriptions provides clients with an instant understanding of what FAMO offers.
Memorable
Both "FAMO" and "Fascia Movement" are easy to remember, helping clients keep your classes, personal training, and blended sessions in mind.
Speaking of remembering…
We are aware that "FAMO" might sound a bit like the slang term "FOMO" (fear of missing out). Rest assured, we have no intention of contributing to this all-too-common modern anxiety. However, a gentle reminder not to miss out on revitalising movement might be just what we all need now and then. After all, movement is life!
The Practice
Though the name has changed from Slings Myofascial Training to FAMO Fascia Movement, the practical application and its profound benefits for body-mind vitality and functionality remain unchanged. In other words, as a mover or teacher, nothing changes for you.
The Education
With the name change, our insights, and your feedback, the education programme has been updated. Both the individual courses and certification pathways of FAMO Fascia Movement are now even more comprehensive and precisely designed to provide you with an exceptional learning experience and skills that will benefit both you and your clients, on the mat and in life.
