What is Functional Manual Therapy?
FMT is the Key to Faster Healing
Functional Manual Therapy™ is a multi-dimensional approach to the body that evaluates mobility, motor control and how the brain affects our movements. FMT is the cornerstone of the Elite approach. We don’t practice “traditional” physical therapy because FMT gives a better outcome for most patients.
FMT is Not Traditional Physical Therapy
Certified FMT therapists study an average of 4 additional years after becoming a traditional physical therapist. FMT takes a high level of commitment and education to achieve this certification, and not many therapists can practice FMT. There are less than 400 Certified Functional Manual Therapists in the world, only 9 in the state of Connecticut, and 4 of them are here at Elite Health Services.
There simply is no comparison between FMT and traditional physical therapy. That is why exceptional results are routine for Elite’s patients.
