Medical Manual Therapy

Whether you're an elite level athlete, or someone who
needs to improve their movement, we're here to help!

Thank you for your interest in your personal well-being! Here at Function Manual Therapy, we're looking to restore or enhance just that, your ability to Function with the application of manual therapies designed to not just treat, but to educate you to improve your daily routines, no matter what your activity level.

The benefits of Manual Therapy (MT) has been historically well documented. Under a skilled practitioner, MT aids in the relaxation of the nervous system and the abatement of the stress response, pain management, an increase in functional mobility and assisting the body to return to homeostasis. Clients have reported an increase in vascular and lymphatic circulation, a reduction in adhesive muscle fibers and diminishing pain while increasing muscle movement and flexibility.

We utilize a multidisciplinary, integrative approach to assess, evaluate and plan to provide customized treatment. We strive for positive outcomes with other professionals to formulate a comprehensive approach that addresses your specific needs.

What Is It That I Do?

We always begin with a discussion towards evaluation and understanding what dysfunction/issues you may have. I generally do not simply perform "spa treatment", nor a "one routine fits all" where I just slather lotion on you and make you feel nice.

While there are definitive elements of therapeutic touch in my techniques, my focus is on paying attention to the information we exchange during your intake and applying musculoskeletal alignment (or re-alignment) techniques and/or joint mobilization(s) all with a physiotherapeutic approach.

Treatment is geared towards improving what we call "Conscious Interoception" or "Bodily Awareness" and aiding your personal maintenance towards homeostatic or "Self-Balancing" health. No two bodies are exactly the same, so why expect your treatment to be anything but customized to your specific needs?
