If you’ve ever bounced between a physical therapist, a chiropractor, and a gym—and still didn’t get the results you wanted—you’re not alone. Many active adults and high performers find themselves stuck in a frustrating loop of pain management, missed workouts, and temporary fixes.
At Functional Effect, we do things differently. Our model of Performance Rehab blends the best of clinical therapy with high-level movement and strength training—bridging the gap between feeling better and performing better.
So what makes Performance Rehab different from traditional physical therapy? Let’s break it down.
🔹 Traditional Physical Therapy: Reactive. Insurance-Driven. Short-Term Focused.
We have immense respect for the physical therapy profession. It plays a vital role in post-surgical recovery, acute injury care, and medical rehabilitation. But most traditional PT models are limited by:
Insurance constraints that dictate treatment frequency and duration
Generic exercise prescriptions lacking progressions
Minimal hands-on time with the therapist
No integration with strength training or performance goals
Discharge as soon as “pain is down”—not when performance is back
This model works well for getting you from “injured” to “functional,” but it often stops just before you’re ready to return to real life, intense training, or sport.
🔹 Performance Rehab: Proactive. Integrated. Strength-Centered.
Performance Rehab at Functional Effect starts with a different question:
“How do we restore and upgrade your performance—not just get you out of pain?”
Here’s how we deliver on that:
1. Integrated Treatment and Training
You don’t have to explain your pain to five different people. Our team of therapists and strength coaches collaborate to build a seamless experience where:
Manual therapy (cupping, dry needling, joint work)
Corrective movement
Strength training
...are all delivered under one roof with one aligned plan.
2. Movement-Driven Rehab
We believe pain is a movement problem—not just a tissue problem. That’s why your rehab includes:
Functional assessments (not just range-of-motion checks)
Movement pattern retraining
Load-based reconditioning
Custom strength work that evolves with your progress
3. High-Touch, Not High-Volume
You’re not getting 10 minutes of attention and a printout of clamshells. Each rehab session is:
30 minutes of focused manual + movement therapy
Delivered 1-on-1 by Dr. Reynolds who specializes in functional rehabilitation
Embedded within your training week for faster carryover
4. Results Beyond Discharge
We don’t aim for “no pain”—we aim for:
Better lifts
Greater mobility
Improved performance longevity
A strong, stable body you trust again
Who Is Performance Rehab For?
You don’t have to be injured or post-op. Performance Rehab is ideal for:
Lifters or runners with recurring tightness or pain
Active adults who want to move better and stay pain-free
People who’ve plateaued with traditional PT or adjustments
Former therapy clients who never got past the “rehab phase”
Anyone who wants care that moves with them, not around them
A Smarter System for Long-Term Results
At Functional Effect, we’re not here to treat symptoms in isolation. We’re here to create resilient, high-performing humans. Whether you’re in our 12-week program, or adding Performance Rehab to your existing training, you’ll experience:
A seamless flow from therapy → training
Expert attention from a team that speaks the same language
Care that evolves as your body and goals do
This isn’t rehab as you know it.
It’s rehab that performs.
