Functional Movement Training

Functional movement training is a dynamic approach to physical therapy that focuses on improving everyday movement patterns and enhancing overall body mechanics. Instead of isolating specific muscles or body parts, it aims to optimize the coordination and integration of multiple muscle groups and joints. At DuPont Wellness Mobile Physical Therapy, Dr. Corey skillfully incorporates functional movement training into his sessions to provide patients with comprehensive and personalized care.


The primary objective of functional movement training is to improve the body's ability to perform everyday tasks efficiently and without pain. By addressing faulty movement patterns and imbalances, it helps individuals regain proper alignment and functional capabilities. This training methodology works on enhancing flexibility, strength, stability, and mobility across various planes of motion. By engaging multiple muscles simultaneously, it promotes synchronized muscle activation and trains the body to work as a cohesive unit.


One of the significant benefits of functional movement training is injury prevention. By uncovering and correcting movement dysfunctions, individuals can reduce the risk of future injuries and repetitive strain. The training also enhances athletic performance by improving power, agility, and balance. Moreover, functional movement training promotes a better quality of life, as it enables individuals to perform daily activities with ease and confidence, whether it's lifting groceries, climbing stairs, or engaging in recreational activities.


Dr. Corey effectively employs functional movement training in his practice. He begins by conducting a comprehensive assessment to identify the individual's movement imbalances and limitations. Based on these findings, he designs a personalized treatment plan that incorporates specific functional movements tailored to the patient's needs.


Under Dr. Corey's guidance, individuals undergo a progressive series of exercises that challenge their movement patterns and gradually improve their functional capabilities. These exercises may include squats, lunges, plank variations, and functional stability drills.


Functional movement training is a holistic approach to physical therapy that focuses on improving movement patterns to optimize performance and reduce the risk of injury. Dr. Corey expertly integrates this methodology into his practice, providing patients with personalized care and helping them regain functional capabilities for a better quality of life. With his guidance and the power of functional movement training, individuals can restore their body's natural movement patterns and achieve lasting results.
