KFMT: Specialized Physical Therapy

Functional Manual Therapy to bring your body into balance. Less than 0.2% of Physical Therapists have met the rigorous qualifications to become Certified FMTs.

We are experts in Functional Manual Therapy (FMT):
FMT is a highly specialized, whole body Physical Therapy approach. It combines Manual Therapy with movement re-education and exercise to treat you as quickly and thoroughly as possible. What we treat:
We specialize in Whole-body treatment, which means we can provide expert care for almost any condition. Feel free to contact us if you have specific questions, or would like to setup a free consultation. How each session works
We will meet 1-on-1 for about 60 minutes. To begin, we want to hear everything you can tell us about your needs and injuries. We will then analyze your whole body, including movement and posture. Once we have formed an initial diagnosis, we will use hands-on techniques to manually retrain your muscles. We might teach you specific exercises, which will reinforce what we worked on during the session. You may be able to see results immediately. If needed, we will send you home with a self-treatment program. Feel free to ask us lots of questions during your session! The cost of each session is $290, and we will supply you with everything you need to claim Out-of-Network insurance benefits. Flex rates are available on a case-by-case basis. Please call us if you have questions about this.

In the Functional Manual Therapy paradigm, efficient posture is a neutral stacking of the ribcage above the pelvis. This neutral stack allows the work of staying upright to be done by the stacking of the bones, so the muscles in the front and back of our spine don’t need to work so hard to keep us upright.

Try this simple exercise to create some intra-abdominal pressure (in other words, turn on your core) from anywhere you have a seat!

Our PT's are continually learning and expanding their skill set, so we gather each week for mentorship to try new techniques. Last week, we worked on using the entire body to wind up and treat restrictions. This approach can create results at the target body part more quickly than focusing only on that body part with the patient on the table.

Maddie had a great time leading a workshop for kinected Pilates instructors about how to analyze gait to find inefficiencies in their clients' bodies. Our PT's use gait every day to assess our patients - it is an important clue that helps us treat the entire body as one system instead of just a collection of body parts.

Celebrating Nolan's last week with us! He will be very missed at KFMT, but we are excited for his next chapter - bringing Functional Manual Therapy to Northampton, MA, where he will be opening Efficiency Physio. Thank you for your passion, humor, and lots of excellent care, Nolan!

We were thrilled to co-host Girls Bike at
ACME Bicycle Co. for a look at the relationship between the rider and the bike. Alison demonstrated how proper diagnosis helps our PT's choose treatments that can often lead to surprisingly quick and meaningful improvements! Jonathan of Acme Bicycles discussed the importance of pelvis position on the saddle, and demonstrated a bike fitting. The cyclists enjoyed the Brooklyn views while testing their ankle mobility and single leg stability.

If physical restrictions are limiting you on or off the bike, call us to set up your initial evaluation today! We love getting you back to 100%.

It's bike season! We had a great time at two events last week, helping cyclists screen themselves for inefficiencies that could be causing pain on the bike or holding them back from their fastest ride. Maddie led All.ways cycling team through a self-screen and corrective exercises, demonstrated a PT evaluation, and discussed proper cycling posture for longevity and performance.

If you are having pain on or off the bike, call us to set up your initial evaluation today! We love getting you back to the activities you love.
