26.2 miles. Zero pain. 100% proud. 🏅

When Mindy started training for her marathon, hip pain made every mile a struggle. But with a smart plan, consistency, and the right support, she built the strength and confidence to not just run — but thrive.

Through personalized strength work, movement analysis, and biweekly recovery sessions, Mindy turned her setback into a comeback, finishing her first marathon pain-free and stronger than ever. 💪

Because the goal isn’t just to cross the finish line — it’s to keep running long after it.

💬 DM “RUN” if you’re ready to build strength, prevent injury, and train smarter for your next race.

When Jennifer first came to Functionize, she couldn’t even put weight on her foot. The pain and uncertainty of a torn plantar plate made everyday tasks (let alone her job as a hairstylist) feel impossible.

Through her work with the Functionize team, she learned how to rebuild strength step by step, balancing patience with progress. Today, she’s back to doing it all! She’s standing on her feet for eight hours a day, climbing stairs without hesitation, and living an active lifestyle again.

Jennifer’s journey is a reminder that healing takes time, but with the right guidance and mindset, you can come back stronger than before.

Most people with jaw pain treat the symptom, not the system. But, at Functionize, we look beyond the joint itself.

Your jaw is deeply connected to your neck, shoulders, and even your stress response.

The result? Longer-lasting relief, better movement, and fewer flare-ups.

DM “JAW” and we’ll help you find your path to pain-free movement.

Life has a way of surprising us—sometimes in ways we don’t expect. If you asked me a year ago where I’d be today, I would have imagined a very different path. What I couldn’t foresee was how deeply I would be tested—and how those challenges would reveal a strength I didn’t know I had.

2024 brought wave after wave of hardship. My sister’s sudden passing left my family in grief. My husband faced months of job loss, and my business took a major hit when I had to close our Decatur office—a space built with years of blood, sweat, and tears. My college-aged sons were struggling, and by year’s end, I felt like I was failing on all fronts—professionally and personally.

By January, things began to shift. My husband found a new job, and I started running again. But then my body broke under me—a second stress fracture while training for the Publix Half Marathon sidelined me. Exercise had always been my therapy, and being unable to run triggered depression. Around the same time, my daughter became the victim of relentless bullying, which brought back memories of my own struggles with insecurity. It was one of the darkest periods of my life.

But darkness doesn’t last forever.

I intentionally began to rebuild—joining a tennis team, a book club, Leadership Perimeter, and my neighborhood Home & Garden Club. I leaned on friends who had overcome challenges and began showing up authentically. Slowly, the heaviness lifted. My energy shifted from survival to gratitude, and joy returned through connection, purpose, and community.

As my own light grew, so did everything around me: my parents found strength through honoring my sister’s memory, my husband thrived in his new role, my boys took ownership of their education, my daughter emerged resilient and confident, and I healed—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Then came a truly unexpected honor: I was awarded the 2025 Women of Distinction by the Greater Perimeter Chamber of Commerce. Sharing my story on stage with broadcasting legend Monica Kaufman Pearson was unforgettable, especially with my daughter, husband and parents watching.

I share this story not for applause, but for encouragement. If you’re in a hard season, hold on. There is another side. The hardest years can shape you into exactly who you’re meant to be—and in rising, you inspire others along the way.

Here’s to finding the light, even when it feels far away. 🌟

That click in your jaw? It’s more common than you think — and it’s not something you have to live with.

When Andy came to Functionize, jaw pain and clicking were keeping him up at night and making everyday things (like eating) uncomfortable. Through a personalized TMJ program focused on releasing muscle tension, improving jaw control, and breaking clenching habits, he found lasting relief.

Now, Andy’s pain is gone, his clicking is minimal, and he feels confident managing his symptoms day to day 🙌

✨ PT isn’t just for your back or knees — it can help restore balance and comfort in any joint, even your jaw.

💬 DM us “JAW” to learn how we can help you find relief that lasts.

In late June, Michelle, a passionate swing dancer, tore her calf mid-routine. The injury sidelined her from competitions and put her long-awaited Sedona hiking trip in doubt.

When she came to Functionize, she had already reinjured her calf, was limping, and even a simple calf raise caused pain. Hiking again felt impossible.

Step by step, we helped her rebuild strength, balance, and confidence through hands-on therapy, progressive loading, Pilates, and gait retraining. Each week, she climbed stairs pain-free, tackled hills, and regained her stability.

By late August, Michelle hiked Sedona’s rocky trails with strength and pride. Now, she’s back training for dance competitions, stronger and more confident than ever.
