Physical Therapy Functional Training
At your first appointment, your Physical Therapist will perform a thorough evaluation and develop a personalized rehabilitation treatment program with you that may include Functional Training.
What is Functional Training?
Functional training activities incorporate the use of multiple parameters such as balance, strength, coordination, and range of motion. Functional activities are designed to safely and gradually progress as you recover to allow for achievement of your functional and recreational goals.
Functional training is meant to improve the activities of daily living (sometimes referred to as ADL). ADL can range from personal care activities, like showering or dressing, to housekeeping or home maintenance activities, like cleaning, putting dishes away, or doing yardwork, to activities you need to do for work and recreation.

Benefits of Functional Training
Functional training can be an important part of physical and occupational therapy. Regardless of your injury or health condition, the goal of functional training is to improve your health or rehabilitate your injury so you can quickly get back to all the activities you need to perform.
What Is the First Step?
Start By Scheduling an Evaluation Appointment.
Don't Wait - Get Started Right Now!
Clinical research shows that the sooner you get started with active rehabilitation, the less likely you will need unnecessary tests, medications, or surgery.
At your evaluation appointment, you will meet with a physical therapist who will perform a thorough evaluation that includes:
- A review of your health history and your specific symptoms.
- A thorough examination that includes assessing the quality and quantity of your movements, and any factors that might put you at risk for delayed recovery or might indicate a serious health problem.
- Assessment of how you use your body at work, at home, during sports, and at leisure.
- Determination of the diagnosis and impairments that are causing your pain and establishment of a treatment plan of care.

What Our Clients Say
I came here after surgery for a massive rotator cuff tear. VERY painful. The surgeon said the injury was in the very worst category and I had to be very careful or I could re-injure the shoulder He made me wait over a month to start therapy. Needless to say, I was nervous about starting therapy at all, for fear they might make things worse. I was pleasantly surprised at the concern and care by everyone and Walter seemed to have a clear understanding of the surgery and how important it was to start the recovery process slowly. I have been having 2 sessions per week for about 3 weeks now and I am amazed at my recovery. The exercises and stretches have been perfect for my issue and I always seem to feel better after therapy. I was told this week that we are past the “danger-zone” (of re-injury) and can now begin the strengthening phase. We chose this practice because of their great reputation and a recommendation by a medical professional in the area and have not been disappointed. As an added bonus, the view out the windows of the mountains is amazing!
