Functional Movement Training (FMT) - How We Use FMT To Get Incredible Patient Results
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

supplements and food
Functional Movement Training (FMT) is the system of therapy and muscular activation we use as part of our Quadrant of Care.  

When we say “Functional Movement Training”, we are talking about a set of principles and concepts that drive good muscular motor pattern.  It’s an entire suite of tools that our trainers use to help patients get results, and includes both active training, specific stretching, myofascial release techniques, and other techniques that our trainers use to address a patient's specific challenges and goals.   

In the FMT Quadrant, we utilize FMT to help our patients get extraordinary results by focusing on movement patterns.  

The Big Idea Of Functional Movement Training

The story of pain looks like this:

  1. The body, through injury or poor habit, develops poor movement patterns.
  2. These poor movement patterns are dysfunctional - meaning, the body is being utilized in a way that the muscle or joint should not be utilized. The pattern is unsustainable, and will result in pain and/or injury.
  3. The body is forced to compensate; this compensation creates additional dysfunction.  
  4. The cycle continues until proper movement patterns are retrained and established.

And that is exactly when we use FMT - when we need to retrain proper movement patterns, create core stability, and help patients get back to moving without pain or discomfort!

The Science Behind Functional Movement Training



The Science Behind Functional Movement Training demonstrates the ability to prevent injury, increase flexibility, and produce results that are desirable to a patient.

In this study, it was found that there is good reason to believe that self Myofascial Release produces benefits to patients.

This study showed how Myofascial Release helped dramatically in both pain and disability.

Next, is Functional Movement concepts applied to a system of exercise.  This study on baseball players demonstrated a significant improvement of both strength and flexibility in a relatively short period of time.

This study encourages all Physical Therapists to incorporate more Functional Movement screening methods into their practice - and measure success to those screening results (which is exactly what we do).

Finally, this study demonstrated the results of lowering noncontact injuries in athletes who utilized a Functional Movement protocol as part of their training.

And of course, we have our unofficial studies (our experiences with patients) who confirm how well Functional Movement Training works for them, and helps them get their lives back!

​Functional Movement Training is one of the most effective tools we have for not only correcting pain (by correcting movement), but also avoiding future injury by putting in place good habits and motor patterns that will continue to serve a patient.

​

TAKEAWAY:  Functional Movement Training (FMT) is an incredible part of our Quadrant of Care, and has helped many regain healthy movement and achieve their goals.

Our offer to you:  If you'd like to come in, see one of our doctors to discuss Functional Movement Training, or how Chiropractic Care or Functional Medicine might support your body, then you can do so by claiming our $19 new patient special.  Simply select the location you want to visit, give us a call, and we'll look forward to meeting you!
