    I went in for a pinched nerve that had significantly affected my pushing strength on my right side. Justin found the problem area, worked the muscle out, showed me a few techniques I could do at home to expedite recovery, and now, 3 weeks later, my strength is almost back to 100%. For perspective, before I went in for treatment my dumbbell press was struggling at 30 lbs for 8 reps, bench was struggling at 135 lbs for 5 reps, and dips were failing at 8 reps. I can now (3 weeks later) dumbbell press 60 lbs x 8, bench 135 x 15, and easily push out 20 dips with near perfect form. I highly recommend this facility for any sports-related physical therapy. Justin knows what he's doing and his active release technique helped heal my issue quickly and safely. Thank you Function Smart!

    Justin at Function Smart is great. He not only taught me new techniques and exercises, he worked on stretching and flexibility. He definitely knows his stuff!

    As a person who possesses the gift of chronology and as a participant in endurance sports I have relied on Function Smart to not only screen injuries but provide assessments on how injuries can be avoided. IronMan Gino and his team provide expert physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, and many other services that "keep you in the game"...

    My number one pick for physical therapy! Athletes need immediate, thorough and specific help when injuries hinder their training and competition plans. Gino is the best therapist I've used, addressing injuries from all possible angles, checking posture, mechanics, strength and flexibility. He is very competent of the requirements of many sports, including my personal favorite, triathlon. The other therapists are trained well, making a great team and an excellent choice for all your rehabilitation needs.

    I'm a patient of Natalie's at the Governor location. I must say I'm a little of a high demand patient...service dog, uncommon injury (Coxyax), the works. The staff at FunctionSmart always make me and my dog feel welcome and give me the privacy I need when in the office. Finally, I always feel better walking out of the office. The pain is gone, and that truly is a relief. Great job, FunctionSmart team!
