Functional Therapy
At ProActive SportsMed we believe you should train like you play. The same is true for physical therapy. Exercise machines rarely simulate real life activity; especially machines that target individual muscles or muscle groups. Therefore, we prefer to use natural body movement exercises that incorporate functional neuromuscular patterns.
The simple movement of a joint requires the well coordinated co-activation of many muscles. Breakdown of any component of that system can cause faulty movement patterns creating dysfunction in joints or tissue. Functional therapy emphasizes the correction of faulty movement patterns.
Our physical therapists assess not only your pain but the faulty movement patterns causing your dysfunction. Through activity specific designed exercises we restore normal function, allowing you to reach your goals and prevent future breakdown.
Locations: Olympia, Tumwater and Lacey.
