Functional Manual Therapy (FMT)®
This is a highly disciplined and advanced form of physical therapy that gets to the root cause of your problem quickly so that you can recover faster. This approach is an integrated and artistic intervention which couples mechanical treatment with manual neuromuscular fascilitation to enhance optimum motor control and human function.
FMT® Treatment
All of our programs use specific evaluation techniques to identify structural and movement dysfunctions that contribute to pain, decreased mobility and strength, degenerative changes, and decreased function. Based on our detailed evaluation, we restore mobility to your joints and soft tissues, including muscles, nerves, organs, skin, tendons, and ligaments. Once this is restored, we provide manual re-education to the muscles for improved firing patterns, strength, and endurance. We then retrain motor control and re-establish coordination of the injured area with the rest of the body to ensure that there is “Total Body Integration.” Each treatment plan is individualized to your specific needs. You will work towards our mutually established goals to attain your healthiest self.
Athletic Performance Evaluation
Utilizing Functional Manual Therapy® and APT’s unique “Total Body Integration” system, we evaluate the integration of essential movement patterns and motor control patterns needed for your sport or activity. From this extensive evaluation, we develop a specific plan that trains your body to achieve its peak performance.
