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
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Functional Manual Therapy looks at how your entire body works together instead of focusing on just one painful area. At R3 Physio, we use hands-on techniques and full-body assessment to find the root cause and improve how your body moves as a system.
Functional Manual Therapy can help with chronic pain, joint stiffness, movement limitations, and injuries that have not fully resolved. At R3 Physio, we use this approach to restore balance across your body so you move better and feel lasting relief.
Treatment includes hands-on techniques to improve mobility and reduce restrictions, along with targeted exercises to support long-term results. At R3 Physio, we combine both so your progress continues outside the clinic and reduces the chance of reinjury.
