What Is Functional Rehab?
Functional rehabilitation is a proactive, movement-based approach to healing that focuses on restoring stability, flexibility, coordination, and strength to the body, especially in areas affected by injury, repetitive stress, poor posture, or misalignment.
Unlike traditional rehab that often isolates a single body part, functional rehab addresses the body as an interconnected system, retraining movement patterns and correcting imbalances that lead to compensation and pain.
Our CBP-informed rehab programs aim to improve how your body performs in real-life scenarios, whether that’s lifting your child, sitting at a desk, exercising, or simply walking without pain.
Who Can Benefit from Functional Rehab?
Functional rehabilitation is ideal for individuals experiencing:
- Chronic neck or back pain
- Repetitive strain injuries (e.g., carpal tunnel, tendinitis)
- Muscle weakness or instability
- Sports injuries or overtraining issues
- Poor posture and structural misalignment
- Recovery from auto accidents or workplace injuries
- Balance and coordination problems
It is also beneficial for preventative care, especially for those with sedentary lifestyles, athletes, and aging adults looking to preserve mobility and prevent injury.
Why Combine Functional Rehab with Chiropractic BioPhysics®?
We believe that true recovery requires correcting both the structure and function of the body. That’s why we pair our functional rehab approach with Chiropractic BioPhysics®, a research-based method that restores normal spinal alignment to optimize nerve communication and body mechanics.
When the spine is misaligned, even the strongest muscles or most disciplined movements can’t perform at their peak. By correcting these imbalances first through CBP, our rehab efforts become more effective, efficient, and long-lasting.
What to Expect: Our Functional Rehab Process
We begin with a comprehensive examination, including posture analysis, spinal x-rays, range-of-motion testing, and muscle activation assessments. From there, we develop a tailored rehab plan that progresses with you.
Your Functional Rehab Plan May Include:
- Corrective Exercises: To retrain weak or overcompensating muscle groups
- Mobility Work: Targeted stretches and myofascial release techniques
- Balance & Core Training: To stabilize joints and protect the spine
- Neuromuscular Re-education: Restores natural movement patterns
- Postural Retraining: To reinforce spinal alignment and ergonomic awareness
- CBP Chiropractic Adjustments: To support structural correction alongside function
Each program is designed to move you from pain to performance—safely, naturally, and progressively.
