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
I would never go anywhere else for PT. I came to ProPt for preoperative PT. I learned how to strengthen the muscles around my knee before surgery. I came with a torn meniscus and I was in a lot of pain. I could barely walk! I had surgery in January and began post-operative Pt about 2 weeks later. Today, I am back to my yoga practice, hiking, swimming, and walking. I plan to get back to my tennis this fall. Except for a little arthritis I am pain-free. I faithfully do my Pt exercises at home and bought my own rocker board which is great for balance and core strength. Dr. Patt is an excellent PT. He always takes the time to check in with me each time I visit. He has given me lots of helpful tips for keeping fit and strong. His team also provided me with excellent care. The PT techs are always warm and welcoming too. I would never go anywhere else for PT!! Friendly people and very helpful!
