Instrument-assisted treatment. Connected rehabilitation.
Graston Technique uses contoured stainless steel instruments for focused soft tissue treatment. At True Sport Care, we connect this work with movement assessment, FAKTR rehabilitation and exercises built around your activity goals.
UNDERSTANDING GRASTON TECHNIQUE
Focused contact with a shaped instrument.
The instrument gives the clinician another way to apply controlled contact to a specific area. We assess your symptoms and movement before selecting the tissue and treatment approach.

Where FAKTR
fits into your care.
FAKTR stands for Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab. It brings soft tissue treatment together with movement, exercise and body-awareness work.
Graston is an instrument-assisted technique; FAKTR is a broader approach to rehabilitation. They can work together in the same care plan. We consider the positions and activities connected to your symptoms, then connect hands-on treatment with the movement you need to regain.

Questions about
Graston & FAKTR.
Are Graston and FAKTR the same?
They overlap, but they are not identical. Graston Technique is a branded form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization. FAKTR combines soft tissue techniques with functional movement and rehabilitation. At True Sport Care, these approaches can be used together within your treatment plan.
What does FAKTR add to soft tissue treatment?
FAKTR considers the movements and positions that bring on your complaint. Treatment can include manual or instrument-assisted soft tissue work alongside movement, exercise and proprioceptive work—the control and awareness of your body in space.
Does Graston treatment need to leave bruises?
Bruising is not the goal of treatment. Tell your clinician how the pressure feels throughout the session so contact can be adjusted.
Do I need to be an athlete?
No. We welcome competitive athletes, recreational exercisers and people whose movement concerns affect everyday life. Tell us what you need your body to do so we can connect care with those goals.
Can this be combined with other care at True Sport Care?
Our clinic offers chiropractic care, physical therapy, soft tissue treatments and rehabilitation exercises. Your examination helps determine which services fit your plan.
