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 worked with Larry and Mike and his staff for over a year. I started out by receiving therapy with Mike and his associate Priscilla. My wish was and is that to delay knee surgery. Mike and Priscilla have made my wish come true. They put my knee in place and I have been able to function most normally without further therapy or cortisone shots 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 was so at ease and happy with the staff including the ladies in the office that I continued using the facility with their wellness program
I actually look forward to my visits that run around three times a week. If I have any problems that may occur with my leg, Mike is very open to a new exercise— and it works! There is always a greeting when I arrive. Everyone including the clients has formed a congenial group. We laugh and joke with each other
But the staff also takes their jobs seriously. They listen to us , they show real empathy to our problems. AND they make us better
Thanks for being there. I look forward to working with you for a long time
