Are you looking for a total-body approach to rehabilitation and injury prevention? At OSR Physical Therapy in Anthem, Phoenix, Glendale, Sun City, Scottsdale, Gilbert & Peoria, AZ, our physical therapists use functional training as part of their treatment plan to help patients recover from an injury and get back to an active lifestyle.

Our therapists use functional training to treat various conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries and neurological disorders, and for post-operative rehabilitation. Our physical therapists also stress the importance of functional training for injury prevention and rehabilitation.

Rather than focus on traditional exercises that address isolated muscle groups, which can lead to muscle imbalances and increase the risk of injury, we work to improve overall body awareness and coordination.

What does functional training mean?

Functional training is a type of exercise program that focuses on movements that mimic real-life or athletic movements instead of isolation exercises that work for specific muscle groups in isolation.

Functional training aims to improve an individual’s ability to perform everyday activities or sports-specific movements by enhancing overall strength, mobility, coordination, and balance. By targeting actions specific to an individual’s needs, our programs can be adapted to any fitness level or physical ability and reduce the risk of injury.

Athletes should focus on movements specific to their sport rather than just trying to get stronger or working on an isolated movement or activity. For example, a baseball pitcher might benefit from exercises that target their shoulder and rotator cuff muscles while simultaneously working on their torso and hip function to maximize their function and minimize their risk of injury.

Functional training is an integral part of physical therapy. It has been shown to help reduce pain in people who have arthritis and reduce the risk of falling in people dealing with neurological disorders. Our therapists will implement functional training to improve strength, mobility, balance, and coordination in all conditions, and to prevent future injuries.

Using functional exercises that mimic everyday movements, our physical therapists at OSR Physical Therapy can help patients return to their regular daily and sports-related activities while reducing the risk of future injuries.
