Functional Manual Therapy
An Integrative System to Optimize Human Function
Functional Manual Therapy® (FMT) is one of the primary treatment approaches used at R3 Physio. The Functional Manual Therapy® (FMT) philosophy was founded on the understanding that all tissues of the body are intricately interconnected and that efficiency in balance and movement requires a dynamic interaction between the mechanical, neuromuscular and motor control systems. It is a structured system for evaluating and treating that focuses on promoting health and optimum performance. Learn more about Functional Manual Therapy.
FMT is a Multi-Systems Approach
This means that treatment is with the understanding that all patients, regardless of their diagnoses or pathology, need to have all tissues of the body (joints, soft tissues, viscera, and neurovascular tissues) in order to restore functional efficiency.
FMT is a full body approach
- Through the FMT approach, we look at the body 3-dimensionally.
- We look for the global (body wide) impact that a local (one area of the body) injury can affect.
- We use full body positioning to treat YOU as comprehensively as possible.
