See how we fix movement. Hear Dr. Libby Lindberg, DPT explain the F.A.S.T Approach™, then watch facilitation of normal joint motion for the neck, low back, wrists, knees and feet.
F.A.S.T stands for Facilitation, Activation, Systematic Therapy. Developed by Fix It founder Dr. Kelly Roberts Lane, DPT, FACSM, it finds and corrects movement problems and joint mechanics at their source instead of only treating symptoms.
Facilitation of normal joint motion is a manual physical therapy technique aimed at restoring a joint's natural, pain-free mechanics. Your therapist uses precise hands-on input to prompt the central nervous system and the surrounding tissues to carry out proper joint motion naturally, rather than forcing the joint. These short clips show it on the neck, low back, wrists, knees and feet.

Facilitating normal joint motion of the wrists. (0:32)
Facilitating normal joint motion of the knees. (1:34)
Facilitating normal joint motion of the feet. (1:34)
Facilitation is part of our manual therapy and physical therapy care at both clinics.
The goal of the F.A.S.T Approach™ is to re-establish normal stresses at the joint level, returning the surrounding tissue tension and length to normal. That restores normal function and lets you get back to more activity and play, at any age and ability. We fix the mechanics in as few as 3 visits, then build the strength, balance and power to keep you moving. Every Fix It physical therapist completes our mentorship program in the F.A.S.T Approach.
