What is Functional Training?
Functional training activities incorporate the use of multiple parameters such as balance, strength, coordination, and range of motion. Functional activities are designed to safely and gradually progress as you recover to allow for achievement of your functional and recreational goals.
Functional training is meant to improve the activities of daily living (sometimes referred to as ADL). ADL can range from personal care activities, like showering or dressing, to housekeeping or home maintenance activities, like cleaning, putting dishes away, or doing yardwork, to activities you need to do for work and recreation.

What Our Clients Say
I have known Larry Bryant since 1998. As a head football and baseball coach for over 20+ years, I have seen many physical therapists from all across the state of Georgia, who have rehab my players. Larry and the staff of physical therapist, do an outstanding job, treating their patients. Their goal is to get the patient as close to 100% as possible, and they spend as much time with each patient to accomplish this goal. From the office staff , the technicians and the physical therapist all do an outstanding job. But the most important thing to me is everyone is it first class person who cares deeply for their patient. The community of Ellijay is very lucky to have this type of quality medical care. The only reason I gave BPT a five is because it was the highest number I could choose. I have used Bryant PT for over 5 yrs. I first utilized this practice following a total hip replacement in 2017. After a second hip replacement in 2019, I returned for more therapy. My orthopedic surgeon was very pleased with the progress I made due to the exercise program I was given. I have continued to exercise on my own 3 days a week through Bryant PT’s Wellness program. The therapists at this practice are very competent and always willing to help you reach your therapy goals. You won’t find a better PT experience!
