Our Approach

We Fix Movement in Minnesota

Because we understand the importance of play at all ages. At our Maple Grove and Vadnais Heights clinics, the F.A.S.T Approach™ finds the mechanical source of your pain, fixes it in as few as 3 visits, then builds the strength to keep you playing.

02The F.A.S.T Approach

The F.A.S.T Approach in Maple Grove & Vadnais Heights.

At Fix It PT, we fix movement across all ages and abilities, because restoring proper joint mechanics and tissue tension lets every person live and "play every day" without pain or physical limits.

The F.A.S.T Approach was developed by Dr. Kelly Roberts Lane, DPT, FACSM, and is used at Fix It Physical Therapy. It stands for Facilitation, Activation, Systematic Therapy: a proprietary clinical assessment and treatment framework designed to pinpoint and correct movement dysfunction and joint mechanics at the source, rather than merely treating lingering symptoms.

See it in action in our F.A.S.T Approach videos, where our therapists walk through the method for necks, low backs, knees, wrists and feet.

03Built on Mastery

Built on mastery.

The F.A.S.T Approach brings together the skills below. Every physical therapist at Fix It completes a rigorous mentorship program to learn it.

01

Facilitation of Normal Joint Motion

A manual physical therapy technique that restores a joint's natural, pain-free mechanics. Precise hands-on input prompts the central nervous system and surrounding tissues to carry out proper joint motion naturally.

02

Certification in Dry Needling

Also known as intramuscular manual therapy, dry needling uses fine, solid filiform needles to target hyper-irritated bands of muscle known as myofascial trigger points.

03

Neuromotor Re-Education

Restores normal movement patterns by retraining the connection between the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the body's muscles.

04

Power

Power dictates how rapidly a muscle can activate to complete a movement or respond to an unexpected shift in balance.

05

Sports Performance

Optimizing an athlete's movement efficiency to maximize competitive output while minimizing the risk of injury. Explore sports rehab.

05Common Questions

Frequently asked questions.

The goal of the F.A.S.T Approach is to re-establish normal stresses at the joint level, returning surrounding tissue tension and length to normal. This restores normal function to the body part and allows for an increase in overall activity level and play for all ages and abilities.

We have an extensive understanding of neuromechanics: the relationship between neural circuits and biomechanics, and how muscles, sense organs, motor pattern generators and the brain interact to produce coordinated movement. Facilitation of joint movement, movement control, balance and power are the formula to comprehensively address the whole movement system so you can get back to your favorite activities. All of our physical therapists go through a rigorous mentorship program to learn the F.A.S.T Approach.

We proudly treat all ages and all abilities. Whether you are a youth athlete recovering from a sports injury, an adult managing chronic pain, an individual with mobility challenges, or a senior looking to maintain independence, your care is tailored to your individual starting point. We treat many families, from infants to moms to grandparents, to keep everyone playing.

Many physical therapists have trained under Kelly at Fix It PT in the F.A.S.T Approach, but Fix It PT remains the only clinic with currently certified F.A.S.T practitioners.

Knowledge gets passed around, but authentic results require certified expertise. Founder Kelly created the F.A.S.T Approach to transform patient outcomes and resolve your mechanical dysfunction in as few as 3 visits, and Fix It PT remains the only clinic with active, certified specialists to deliver it.
