At the heart of our everyday activities is the ability to move freely and without discomfort. From the moment we wake up, our movements, whether large or small, shape our day and our lives. At FreeForm Chiropractic, we understand that any limitation in these movements can significantly disrupt your routine, affect your performance, and even lower your overall quality of life. This is where Functional Movement Therapy comes into play.
How Functional Movement Therapy Works
Functional Movement Therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on the root causes of your discomfort or limitations - your movement patterns. We all have unique ways of moving, and sometimes, these patterns can contribute to chronic pain, injury, and decreased functionality. The first step in Functional Movement Therapy is identifying these problematic movement patterns. The process involves a series of tests that examine your strength, flexibility, balance, and how you perform specific movements. The therapist will look for any asymmetries or limitations that could be causing your issues. Once these patterns are identified, the therapy then addresses them with targeted exercises. Depending on your specific needs, these could range from simple movements that you do at home to more complex exercises performed under the supervision of the therapist.
