Functional Manual Therapy®
A systematic and scientifically-rooted full-body approach, integrating all aspects of physical function, nutrition, and lifestyle education.
What is FMT?
A Truly Holistic Approach
Functional Manual Therapy ® is a systematic and scientifically-rooted full-body approach, integrating all aspects of physical function, nutrition, and lifestyle education.
Unlocking The Body’s Interrelated Movement System
Our FMT approach is as fun as it is successful. Together, we’ll explore all the systems of your body to uncover what’s working well and what has untapped potential. We’re here to help you achieve total optimum function, resolving your pain or limitation while revealing your body’s hidden abilities.
Through this process, we’ll address the interrelationship between these three interconnected systems, which will result in a body that operates its best during work, rest, and recreation.


Acknowledging the Individuality of Each Person’s Body
The more that science reveals about the inner workings of the human body, the more we understand how fickle pain and symptoms can be. Functional Manual Therapy® openly acknowledges that every single person is different and the cause of your symptoms will be unique to you. We acknowledge and intentionally seek out the uniqueness of each individual to treat what is different about your symptoms instead of the few ways they are the same as other people. Treatments at IPA Physio will be unlike anything you would experience elsewhere!
