Understanding FAKTR-PM
FAKTR-PM stands for Functional And Kinetic Treatment with Rehabilitation, Provocation and Motion. It is a specialized soft tissue rehabilitation method developed by Drs. Tom Hyde and Greg Doerr, combining over 20 years of clinical experience in Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) with targeted rehabilitation.
Purpose and Philosophy
FAKTR-PM is designed to speed recovery from acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain syndromes and fascial conditions. It moves beyond simple pain relief to optimize performance and restore full function by addressing the root causes of discomfort rather than just symptoms.
The approach integrates:
- Manual therapy (hands-on techniques)
- Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) to break down scar tissue and adhesions
- Rehabilitation exercises to strengthen surrounding tissues
Provocation and motion protocols — treating the patient in their most painful or restricted position to locate and address the source of symptoms.
FAKTR-PM is effective for a range of musculoskeletal issues, including:
- Headaches
- Back pain
- Shoulder problems
- Elbow and foot pain
- Ligament sprains
- Muscle strains
- Tendonopathies
- Fascial syndromes
- Scar tissue/adhesions
