Our Story
At Function Physical Therapy, we believe that effective physical therapy is about more than just following a standard protocol. Our founder, Dr. Sam, left her previous outpatient job due to a lack of belief in the traditional healthcare model and burn out from not having enough one-on-one time with her patients. That’s why she created Function Physical Therapy, a place where patients can receive tailored, specific, and highly effective one-on-one care focused on their unique needs and goals.
At Function Physical Therapy, we are dedicated to providing personalized care to help our patients achieve their recovery goals. We understand that every patient is unique, which is why we create customized treatment plans tailored to meet their individual needs. Our team of highly skilled physical therapists works closely with each of our patients to ensure a safe and effective recovery.
Sessions are one-on-one to focus on meeting the individuals' goals. Treatment sessions involve hands-on, first-rate care for rehab and recovery purposes. This functional approach aims to be holistic, assessing the entire body to improve function and movement.
The goal of Function PT is to provide services in the comfort of your own home and around your schedule.
