Functional Manual Therapy® (FMT)

Manual
Therapy

Functional Mobilization®, developed by Gregg Johnson, is an effective evaluation and treatment system for joints, soft tissues, visceral and neurovascular structures. This unique and immediately effective intervention combines active movements and resisted contractions with a specific directional pressure to produce efficient mobility.

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular
Facilitation (PNF)

Probably one of the least understood and most dynamic approaches to patient care, PNF offers a dynamic and functional evaluation and treatment approach to the bodies interrelationship based on specific analysis of motor recruitment patterns and neuromuscular function.

Motor Control/
Awareness

CoreFirst® Strategies presents a methodical and unique functional assessment and treatment for the whole body. This approach, developed by Vicky Saliba Johnson helps therapist identify the direct correlation of the patient’s presenting posture and movement patterns to the patient’s symptoms and pain behavior.

Treatment Approach

The utilization of the above principles allows our patients to recover quicker, helps to prevent reoccurring injuries, and ultimately reach their individual goals.

PATIENT CENTERED
We believe that every patient should be taken care of as a unique individual and looked at as a whole person. Our physical therapist is dedicated to treating one patient per hour. This one on one model allows for exceptional care and higher quality treatment which helps expedite the recovery process of our patients.

HOLISTIC EVALUATION
Although we may need to treat a particular region a patient needs to be address. The holistic evaluation, involves evaluating the body as a whole as our ultimate goal and not just treating one specific body part. This approach helps to specifically identify the main contributing factors that are causing the current presentations.

INTEGRATIVE PHYSICAL THERAPY
Through our findings from our holistic evaluation, we implement an integrative plan of care that not only focuses on the region which is causing the symptoms but a plan that helps to integrate the whole body to work together more efficiently.
