After the pain of an injury has diminished, your musculoskeletal system needs to regenerate and rebuild the atrophied muscles. A functional training session is designed to safely help get back your muscle's mobility and strength. 

The theory behind the functional movement is that there are only a limited number of things a human body does in daily life, but that these 7 movements are extremely important for good physical health.

Sometimes, an injury prevents you from doing one of these fundamental movements. In some cases, your sport over-developed one movement over another resulting in a lack of balance in strength that can lead to injuries.

The functional movement training aims to correct issues you may have regardless of their causes so that your body can do these 7 functional movements easily.

Functional movement training can treat a variety of issues that are caused by sport injuries, bad postures or lack of strength in some parts of your body. The most common include:

Basically, any ailment that is rooted in a bad posture, a lack of strength in a specific area of your body or a localized injury can be treated with functional training.

Functional movement training has plenty of benefits if done with discipline and with a progression plan in mind.

First, it stimulates your weakened body parts to repair muscle wastage in a manner that doesn't strain it. For instance, if you had to rest for a long period of time, you can securely make yourself ready to resume your activity with functional movement training.

Functional movement training is also suited to people who have problems due to their daily activities: joint pain, back pain or muscular pain coming from repetitive movements or lack of exercise.

It is also a useful training for people looking to improve their body's motion range or strength condition in specific areas of their body, ranging from upper to lower body muscles or even core muscles.

Since each person is unique, a functional movement training is 100% custom-made based on what the patient truly needs.

Your physiotherapist might recommend you some of these exercises depending on what you need and your fitness level:

The workout framework is based on your functional goals, whether it is for injury recovery or sports conditioning.
