Physical Therapy Functional Training in Ellijay, GA
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 have almost completed my second set of treatments for total knee replacement (left knee in 2019 and this is right knee). I cannot imagine a more professional, effective program! I have been a patient and a wellness client of Bryant Physical Therapy since 2003. I have personally had both knees and left hip replaced. I have had neck surgery as well. My rehab with Bryant Physical Therapy has been excellent on all occasions. Larry, Mike, Brett and Sherri have been knowledgeable, caring and concerned about my recovery every step of the way. As a teacher and coach for 30+ years I have had the opportunity to interact with many physical therapists. I would recommend Bryant Physical Therapy over anyone else. Their knowledge is superior. They spend time with each patient and work to achieve the best outcome possible. They are very fortunate to have 3 outstanding techs working for them. Melinda, Sonya and Priscilla have a tremendous amount of experience and expertise between them. They are more than capable of managing the exercises and therapy that are prescribed. For the past 8 years I have been a wellness patient at Bryant Physical Therapy. I go 5 days a week. I have watched the therapists working with patients for literally hundreds of hours. They have been knowledgeable and caring with each patient. I have seen them having discussions with each patient. From personal experience they have changed exercises and therapy methods to help me achieve my goals. I have seen many patient’s come to Bryant’s Physical Therapy because of an unsatisfactory result from other therapists. I would recommend Bryant Physical Therapy no matter what your age or physical problem.
