A functional movement program is designed to identify and correct dysfunctional movement patterns that contribute to pain, injury, and decreased physical performance. At Indian Trail Chiropractic & Rehab, Dr. Gentile combines chiropractic care with targeted functional movement exercises to restore strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination naturally. This personalized program enhances the body’s ability to perform everyday activities and athletic tasks with improved efficiency and reduced injury risk.
What Is a Functional Movement Program?
A functional movement program starts with a comprehensive assessment of your movement patterns, balance, strength, and flexibility to identify asymmetries or limitations. Dr. Gentile then creates a customized rehab plan that focuses on retraining the body through controlled exercises — informed by objective data from our kinetisense movement screening — designed to restore optimal movement mechanics and neuromuscular control. This approach targets the root causes of musculoskeletal pain by improving joint function and muscular coordination rather than just addressing symptoms, drawing on the same evidence-based principles that guide our corrective exercise programs to deliver lasting, measurable results.
