I came to FunXional PT after dealing with 1.5 years of chronic neck and shoulder pain from a violin-related injury. I tried chiropractic, traditional PT, and lots of DIY pt, but nothing seemed to work as well as the virtual PT FunXional gave me. As an active, busy, young adult, I needed something that would not only get me out of pain, but would also help me get stronger and accomplish my fitness goals. I worked 1-on-1 with Dr. Lauren for about 6 months, who did a thorough assessment and programmed workouts to fit my needs and goals. The accountability and support through the app were essential! I am so grateful for all the progress Iāve made, and would 100% recommend FunXional PT.

I found Michelle and FunXional PT on instagram when I was searching for help with my si joint issues. I reached out and was met with such a wonderful experience! My biggest challenge in life at that moment was chronic mobility issues and PAIN from an old injury. I was feeling weak, frustrated, hopeless, miserable, just straight up defeated and desperate. I am from another state so I was interested in FunXional PT's remote, online program and the fact that she was an expert on the si joint. The mobile app is so organized, its really cool actually. It tracks your progress it has daily goals, it has videos, it has it all. Everything you need to be sucessfulI is organized into this app. I later learned she has had her own battle with si joint pain and why I could tell right away she actually had empathy for my situation. Michelle set up a video meeting with me and gave me a full hour of her time to just explain what was going on with my symptoms and to make a plan moving forward. Before she discussed what her thoughts were she asked me what I thought was going on with my body, a question I had not been asked before but was wishing someone would let me answer. The fact that I didnt feel like a burden or feel like I am overreacting made me so excited because I was being heard. Prior, I was told there is nothing more they can do except send me to pain management for medications and injections. Once we started the program, she checked in with me every week, made sure I was accountable when I started to fall back (ups and downs will always happen), answered any questions I had with no judgements and kept in frequent communication which was very new to me in the best way. If I had other issues she made seperate workouts to help with those also. Therapy is hard but I eventually started to feel better, stronger and was achieving my initial goals we set. I am really surprised my body can do some of these things, id probably roll my eyes at anyone who said I could do the things im doing before I started this journey with her.
I could not push, pull, bend, squat, lay, sit, lift, sweep, cook, clean, climb.. anything that put any force through my body was difficult and painful. I can say now I am doing all of those things, with Michelle's help i am walking all day i am sitting at the dinner table and i am spending time with my faily again without pain taking over. I am not scared to do daily tasks anymore. She showed me that healing is possible and she helped me regain my life back. My perspective on therapy, my body, my pain, my brain, my nervous system.. has all changed in a positive way. If anyone has any doubts about the capabilities of these therapists and this program, please know that this is a genuine, caring, wholesome and positive team that want to help you and actually can. They care about their profession and what it means to be a therapist, they care about quality of life and based on my experience.. you are not a number or a paycheck here, you are a human and you are cared for and treated how it should be! The therapists at FunXional PT are so very intelligent and know exactly what they are doing when it comes to physical therapy and treating the body as a whole. I am so glad to have made such an awesome relationship with michelle and FunXional PT, I feel beyond grateful and beyond cared for. I am back to being me again.. my pain and disability are becoming a distant memory. That is my genuine and honest review of my experience, im not much of a writer im just typing away from my heart on this one because it is so full of gratitude! Im typing this as im sitting at my kitchen table.. pain freešš
