Experience Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehabilitation (FAKTR) in Closter, Park Ridge, and Montvale, NJ. The Spine & Health Center of New Jersey offers advanced, evidence-based care for pain, injury, and mobility restoration.

What Is Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehabilitation (FAKTR)?

Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehabilitation (FAKTR) is an advanced, evidence-based therapy that combines manual techniques, movement training, and functional rehabilitation to treat soft tissue injuries and restore proper movement.

Developed by chiropractors and rehabilitation specialists, FAKTR uses movement-based protocols and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) to address pain and dysfunction at their source.

At The Spine & Health Center of New Jersey, our FAKTR-certified providers use this method to help patients recover from injuries, improve mobility, and regain strength faster. Whether you’re managing chronic pain or an acute injury, FAKTR offers a personalized, movement-driven approach that helps you heal efficiently and return to full function.

We proudly offer FAKTR therapy in our Closter, Park Ridge, and Montvale offices—serving patients throughout Bergen County, NJ.

How Does FAKTR Work?

FAKTR (pronounced factor) integrates soft tissue treatment, corrective exercise, and functional rehabilitation in one streamlined system. The therapy focuses on retraining muscles and restoring efficient movement patterns, even during active exercise.

During treatment:

Identify Dysfunction Your provider will evaluate movement, posture, and strength

Address Tightness and Scar Tissue in Muscles and Fascia Using specialized tools and manual therapy

Corrective Exercises Performed to reinforce proper movement and coordination.

This approach helps eliminate pain, restore strength, and prevent future injuries—all while promoting faster recovery.

What Conditions Can FAKTR Help Treat?

FAKTR is highly effective for both acute injuries and chronic pain conditions, including:

Back and neck pain
Shoulder, elbow, and wrist injuries (e.g., tennis elbow, rotator cuff pain)
Hip, knee, and ankle conditions (e.g., plantar fasciitis, runner’s knee)
Post-surgical rehabilitation
Chronic soft tissue tightness or scar tissue
Sports-related injuries
Headaches and migraines related to tension or posture

Because FAKTR is movement-based, it’s ideal for athletes, workers with repetitive strain injuries, and active patients looking to regain full mobility and performance.

FAKTR vs. Traditional Physical Therapy

While traditional physical therapy focuses on strengthening and restoring range of motion, FAKTR integrates soft tissue therapy and active movement to address the root cause of dysfunction.

Traditional Physical Therapy

Focuses on injury recovery and basic strengthening
Often uses passive exercises
Addresses muscles or joints separately
Slower progression to sport or performance

FAKTR Therapy

Focuses on total functional movement and kinetic chain correction
Combines active movement with manual therapy
Treats muscles, joints, and soft tissue together
Faster, integrated return-to-activity focus

By targeting the underlying restrictions that affect movement, FAKTR accelerates healing and prevents recurrence.
