Functional Manual Therapy

Functional Manual Therapy (FMT) is a specialized, hands-on treatment that integrates soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, and neuromuscular facilitation to restore movement, reduce pain, and enhance overall function.

At Retrain Physical Therapy, we embrace a holistic and patient-centered approach, focusing on restoring functional efficiency and promoting overall health. We integrate advanced manual therapies, including Functional Manual Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, and Craniosacral Therapy, to address the unique needs of each patient. My philosophy is to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms, and to understand the interconnectedness of the body's systems.

Optimizes Neuromuscular Control

Combines hands-on therapy with movement training to retrain muscles and enhance coordination.

Pain & Musculoskeletal Disorders

If you experience ongoing pain or tension, FMT helps realign structures and restore normal function in the body.

​

  • Chronic neck & back pain – Releases tight muscles and mobilizes joints for lasting relief.

  • TMJ & jaw pain – Improves bite alignment and relieves tension in facial muscles.

  • Arthritis & joint pain – Increases joint mobility and reduces inflammation.

  • Fibromyalgia & myofascial pain – Relieves deep muscle tension and enhances circulation

Neurological & Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

FMT supports neurological function by restoring movement efficiency and nervous system coordination.

​

  • Stroke rehabilitation – Improves motor control and retrains muscle function.

  • Sciatica & nerve pain – Alleviates compression and irritation of nerves.

  • Post-surgical recovery – Restores flexibility and function after surgery (e.g., knee replacements, rotator cuff repairs).

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome & nerve entrapment – Reduces inflammation and improves nerve function

Sports Injuries & Performance Optimization

FMT is widely used by athletes to recover faster and improve performance.

​

  • Rotator cuff injuries – Improves shoulder function and prevents re-injury.

  • Runner’s knee & shin splints – Addresses imbalances affecting running mechanics.

  • Tendonitis & ligament injuries – Reduces inflammation and restores strength.

  • Posture & movement efficiency – Enhances biomechanics for improved sports performance.

Postural & Movement Dysfunctions

FMT corrects muscle imbalances and movement limitations caused by poor posture.

​

  • Forward head posture & slouched shoulders – Realigns the spine for better posture.

  • Scoliosis & spinal imbalances – Helps manage spinal curvature and prevents progression.

  • Work-related strain (sitting, standing, lifting injuries) – Improves movement efficiency and ergonomic alignment.

  • Pelvic misalignment & core instability – Strengthens deep stabilizing muscles for better balance
