Agenda

Description

Functional and Kinetic treatment with rehab (FAKTR) embodies the use of instrument assisted soft tissue techniques (IASTM) with resistance, balance, proprioception, and vibration & oscillation tools. This webinar will cover the various instruments utilized in soft tissue mobilization, their use, indications and contraindications while addressing dynamic activities during IASTM through the kinetic chain that can be beneficial to your patients. You will learn new training techniques to restore muscle imbalance, facilitate movement patterns and incorporate adjuncts such as Kinesiotaping, etc
