Functional Manual Therapy

What is Functional Manual Therapy?

Functional Manual Therapy (FMT) is an advanced, hands-on physiotherapy approach designed to improve movement, reduce pain, and restore function. It combines precise manual techniques with customized exercises to correct movement dysfunctions, enhance mobility, and optimize overall physical performance.

How Does FMT Work?

FMT focuses on three essential aspects of movement:

• Mobility – Improving flexibility and reducing restrictions in soft tissues and joints.

• Stability – Enhancing core and joint stability for better movement control.

• Motor Control – Retraining the body to move efficiently and pain-free.

Through skilled manual techniques and tailored exercises, FMT addresses the root cause of pain rather than just the symptoms.

Conditions Treated with FMT

• Chronic back and neck pain

• Joint stiffness and arthritis

• Sports injuries and performance issues

• Post-surgical rehabilitation

• Neurological conditions affecting movement

• Postural imbalances

• Muscle tightness and weakness
