Functional retraining focuses on primary fundamental movement patterns which are needed for day – day life. Our bodies are designed to move, however, following injury we develop compensations which have a negative impact on the way we move.
Tonal adaptations and postural instabilities are also noticeable following injury – functional rehabilitation aims to develop that inner-strength, improving both balance and co-ordination which in turn increases range of movement and reduces pain.
Functional rehabilitation is also used to improve posture, through stimulating multi-functional movement patterns your increased body awareness will mean less muscular tension and greater resistance to postural related pain.
