We help active people in the Atlanta area take control of their health and wellness today so they may thrive and enjoy the best years ahead.
Root-cause care, one-on-one attention, and long-term performance for active adults and athletes.
At Functionize Health, we believe your body is more than a collection of symptoms.
It is a system.
A story.
A reflection of how you move, recover, fuel yourself, and live.
If you are looking for a deeper, more comprehensive approach to physical therapy in the Atlanta area, our functional medicine-informed model is designed for you.
We help you move better, feel stronger, and perform with confidence by addressing the real reasons behind your pain, not just the pain itself.

What Makes Our Approach Different
Most healthcare focuses on quick diagnoses and short-term fixes. At Functionize, we do not chase symptoms. We look for the root.
​
Our model blends the principles of functional medicine with one-on-one, private-pay physical therapy. This allows us to consider the entire ecosystem of your health, including movement patterns, strength, mobility, nervous system responses, stress, sleep, nutrition, and the demands of your life.
​
We believe you can become a powerful and resilient mover when your care plan addresses the full picture.
A Root-Cause Approach to Physical Therapy
Your pain did not start in a vacuum.
Maybe your knee hurts because your hip is not stabilizing.
Maybe your low back aches because your core cannot manage load.
Maybe your shoulder keeps flaring because your recovery habits are working against you.
Our functional medicine lens helps us look beyond isolated symptoms and understand what is actually driving your discomfort or limitations.
We assess:
-
Movement quality and gait mechanics
-
Strength and mobility imbalances
-
Foot, hip, core, and shoulder coordination
-
Nervous system response to load
-
Lifestyle patterns that influence recovery
-
Nutrition as it relates to performance and healing
When all of these pieces are understood, treatment becomes more strategic and more effective.
What to Expect at Functionize
We do not rush. We listen. And we build a plan around your unique goals rather than a generic protocol.
​
Your first visit typically includes:
​
Discovery Conversation
We start by understanding your story, your movement history, your frustrations, and the long-term goals that matter most to you.
Comprehensive Movement and Strength Assessment
This may include our signature 5 Point Check Up, a 60-minute evaluation that examines mobility, strength, cardiorespiratory health, nervous system cues, and whole-body mechanics.
​
Individualized Plan of Action
We address both your current symptoms and the underlying factors that caused them. Your plan may include strength training, manual therapy, mobility work, core re-education, Pilates, or lifestyle and recovery coaching.
​
One-on-One Private Pay Treatment Sessions
Because our model is private pay, every appointment is uninterrupted and focused entirely on you. You receive the time, attention, and depth of care that insurance-driven clinics simply cannot provide.
​
Integrated Wellness Options
As you improve, your care can expand to include:
-
Clinical Pilates
-
Strength and conditioning
-
Nutrition counseling
-
Movement habit coaching
-
Return to running or sport-specific progressions
​
Long-Term Movement Maintenance
Once you reach your goals, we help you stay there with periodic assessments, performance tune-ups, and proactive injury prevention.
Is Functional Medicine Physical Therapy Right for You?
