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
Got me back to participating 100%. I came to see Dr. Patt after suffering from hip and back pain that was impacting my day-to-day activities. Dr. Patt and the clinicians were supportive and encouraging throughout my recovery process and got me back to participating 100%. It’s wonderful to get back to doing activities pain-free again. I can’t thank them enough for the care they provided. I can now hold my 8-month old daughter comfortably. I have needed surgery since 2009. Last year, my shoulder really started bugging me when writing notes on the board while teaching math. I finally broke down and went to the orthopedic Dr. He suggested PT. after about 8-10 weeks, I felt a lot better, but I still knew my shoulder had tears and needed surgical repair. (injections only helped a little) After surgery, ProPt welcomed me back with open arms and really pushed me to get better. Today, I write on the board with no pain and can hold my 8-month old daughter comfortably.
