Physical Therapy Functional Training in Franklin, MA
At your first appointment, your Physical Therapist will perform a thorough evaluation and develop a personalized rehabilitation treatment program with you that may include Functional Training.
What is Functional Training?
Functional training activities incorporate the use of multiple parameters such as balance, strength, coordination, and range of motion. Functional activities are designed to safely and gradually progress as you recover to allow for achievement of your functional and recreational goals.
Functional training is meant to improve the activities of daily living (sometimes referred to as ADL). ADL can range from personal care activities, like showering or dressing, to housekeeping or home maintenance activities, like cleaning, putting dishes away, or doing yardwork, to activities you need to do for work and recreation.

What Our Clients Say
This has been the best experience I’ve ever had. A special thanks to Dr.Patt and Sue I came here after having shoulder surgery. When I came I couldn’t move my arm much at all. Before I came here I could not put on makeup, I couldn’t put my arm behind my head. I couldn’t get dishes from the cabinet. Many other things I couldn’t do but NOW I CAN! This has been the best experience I’ve ever had. Everyone is so nice and friendly. Always laughing! Everyone took such good care of me, and at a time when the world was in an uproar, they were extremely accommodating. I’d never go anywhere else. I’ll be back! The PT’s and PA’s have been superb at getting me back to normal. This has been the best experience at any physical therapy clinic I have ever been to. I have been to other PT facilities and this has easily been the best. The PT’s and PA’s have been superb at getting me back to where I was before my sciatic issues. I have no pain traveling down my leg that was preventing me from getting a good night’s sleep and doing normal activities around the house and work.
