Dr. Laurie is a certified FAKTR provider. It sounds intriguing, but what does that mean?
FAKTR (pronounced FACTOR) stands for Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab. This means that Dr. Laurie can incorporate function and treatment of the kinetic chain during rehabilitation. Or, to make it simpler, she will treat an injury in the position of provocation (pain, loss of range of motion, feeling of tightness within the fascia/soft tissues) and during motion.
For those interested in the technical side of things, the fascia is a layer of fibrous connective tissue that surrounds muscles, blood vessels and nerves, binding those structures together in the same way as plastic wrap can be used to hold the contents of sandwiches together.₁ FAKTR is used to evaluate and treat soft tissue and fascial conditions and can be used to treat numerous conditions including:
- Shoulder pain
- Calf pain
- Back pain
- Foot pain
- Headaches and other pains and injuries
Although it can be used to treat almost any injury, FAKTR is not effective on all conditions. You can trust that if FAKTR isn't the right treatment for you, Dr. Laurie will find a way to get you back out and playing again! ₁ Wikipedia
