Graston Technique is a patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) which uses special stainless steel instruments. Clinicians use this technique to detect and reduce myofascial adhesions and fibrosis. FAKTR is a concept, not a technique, designed to combine soft tissue treatment methods, like Graston or IASTM, with rehabilitation. This concept can be applied to treatment of many acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
