Consider functional rehab at Active Edge as physical therapy to take you from where you are to where you want to be. Generally, physical therapy is focused on building strength around an injured area. At Active Edge, our practitioners take a broader view to include foundation, communication, balance, and firing activity in addition to muscular strength. A comprehensive retraining plan like this helps improve movement efficiency as well as strength so that you can move freely and effortlessly.
During a functional therapy session at Active Edge, you’ll get one-on-one attention with our rehab specialists as well as homework specifically designed to activate recovery and reinforce other elements of your interconnective care.
In addition to teaching you exercises that will help your immediate concern, we’ll teach you WHY you’re doing them. We find that the better you understand your body, the better you can support your own health. Teaching you to work through movements on your own also allows you to use better information when something isn’t responding to self care or when something new pops up.
We want to earn your partnership for life because you trust us and value feeling great. The more we can empower you, the less you rely on us and the more we become a resource for your health.
