Functional Training

“The staff at Southern California AquaticTherapy has helped prepare me for two recent surgeries and assisted in my rehabilitation and healing.They have helped me to have a better quality of life than what I had become accustomed to prior to working with them.Throughout my time with them, I have enjoyed excellent massage, had reduced nerve damage at surgical incisions with cold laser treatments, and received the benefit of aquatic therapy to provide support for my body while performing increasingly more demanding exercises.

What is Functional Training? Basically, the term Functional Training refers to training the body to perform movements used for the activities of everyday life. This may include movements such as squatting, pushing, pulling, going from sitting to standing and other movements that mimic the activities you would like to return to. Physical Therapists, with their advanced medical training, are uniquely qualified to help you return to your daily function taking all aspects of your health challenges into consideration. Physical Therapists may use exercise bands, balls, free weight exercises, weight cable exercises or your own body weight to improve strength, balance, and coordination to reach your specific goals. Our functional training is specifically geared to return you to the functional goals you want and need for everyday life. For more information, contact us today.
