The Extra Mile: Why Our Metairie Physical Therapy Office Is a Step Above the Rest

Physical therapy looks a little different to everyone — but the end goal will always remain the same. 

For some, physical therapy is a long but necessary road to recovery after injury or surgery. For others, it’s a routine of exercises, stretches and movements prescribed to manage, relieve and/or eliminate pain. 

Either way, it’s an essential step in getting back to doing the things you love most. 

Whether that means running around with your kids, getting back in the gym, hiking your favorite mountain, returning to competition or simply moving through life without discomfort — PT is always here to help. 

And you don’t necessarily have to be in pain to receive that help.

In fact, anyone in the Metairie, LA community can benefit from PT.

While physical therapy is commonly associated with rehabilitation and recovery, it can also be a powerful tool for injury prevention, performance enhancement and overall movement and mobility optimization.

In other words, it’ll help you live the life you’ve always dreamed of. 

FunXional PT: What Makes Us Different?

Too often, people settle for “good enough” physical therapy. 

Treatment is taking its course, but some say it feels generic, basic or cookie-cutter. And while progress is there and results eventually come, that process doesn’t happen fast and the results are often temporary. 

But that’s not the case at FunXional PT.

And that’s not the case with our patients.

The Metairie, LA community deserves more than just “good enough” physical therapy — and here at FunXional PT, we’re willing to go above and beyond to give you the care you so desperately need. 

Here are just some of the reasons why your community trusts our process and expertise. 

8. 1-on-1 sessions only

Many physical therapy clinics prioritize volume over quality of care, often scheduling multiple patients at once or bouncing between clients — which can lead to a diluted experience for the patient or client.

Here at FunXional PT, we believe your recovery deserves undivided attention. 

That’s why we provide 1-on-1 sessions only, ensuring each patient receives focused, personalized care tailored to their specific needs. You're not just another appointment on the schedule — you’re our priority.

7. Comprehensive assessment

Every successful recovery starts with an accurate diagnosis. At FunXional PT, our assessments analyze everything from joint mobility and muscle imbalances to posture, movement patterns and limitations.

This in-depth evaluation allows us to pinpoint the true source of your discomfort or dysfunction. 

Rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms, our thorough assessment ensures we create a treatment plan that works for you — not just in the short term, but for long-lasting health and performance.

6. Holistic, root-cause approach

Many physical therapy programs today focus on relieving pain and learning how to manage symptoms without addressing why the pain is happening in the first place and what the patient can do to prevent it. 

At FunXional PT, we don’t just treat symptoms — we resolve the underlying issue causing them.

This often means looking at the body as an interconnected system rather than treating individual parts in isolation. By identifying and correcting these root causes, we can help anyone achieve long-term relief. 

5. In-person and digital sessions

Life gets busy, but that shouldn’t put a pause on your recovery. That’s why we offer the flexibility of both in-person and digital sessions, ensuring you receive high-quality care no matter your schedule or location.

It’s the best of both worlds — when you need it, no matter where you are. 

In-person visits allow us to provide hands-on therapy, movement assessments and real-time feedback, while digital sessions allow us to provide expert guidance from the comfort of your home — or hotel.

4. Avoid medications, injections or surgery

Too often, people resort to pain medications, injections, or even surgery as their first option for pain relief. While these approaches may provide temporary relief, they don’t address the real cause of the problem.

At FunXional PT, we focus on natural, movement-based solutions to help you heal. 

Our goal is to improve function, mobility and strength so your body can heal itself. Through exercises, manual therapy and corrective movement strategies, we can reduce pain and regain control of your body.

3. Hands-on modalities

Sometimes, exercises and stretching alone aren’t enough to break through pain and dysfunction. That’s why, here at FunXional PT, we incorporate hands-on modalities into our treatment approach/philosophy.

That includes manual therapy, soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, joint mobilization and more.

Whether you’re an athlete looking to recover faster or someone dealing with chronic or recurring pain, our hands-on approach ensures that every session is productive, effective and tailored to your specific needs.

2. 24/7 access through FunXional PT app

Recovery doesn’t stop when you leave the clinic, and neither does our relenting support. 

With the FunXional PT app, our patients and clients have 24/7 access to their personalized therapy plan, instructional videos, progress tracking, direct messaging with their physical therapist and so much more. 

This level of around-the-clock access ensures our patients stay on track between sessions, get real-time answers to their most pressing questions and continue making progress even after they leave the clinic.

1. No need for a doctor’s referral

Many patients delay getting the care they need due to referral requirements or insurance red tape. This can often be the difference between living a life free of pain and seeing your pain grow worse over time. 

At FunXional PT, we strive to make access to treatment as easy as possible. 

That’s why we offer direct care without the need for a doctor's referral — if you need physical therapy, then we’re here for you. We also provide flexible payment options and favor community-focused care. 

We Also Offer Exercise & Nutrition Coaching!

At FunXional PT, we believe true rehabilitation and peak performance go beyond just physical therapy.

That’s why we also offer exercise and nutritional coaching — because what you do outside of the clinic is just as important as the work we do inside. And that’s true even after you complete your PT program. 

With exercise and nutrition, you can foster a lifestyle worth living for. 

Regular exercise, when done correctly, strengthens the body’s foundation, improves mobility, reduces risk of injury and enhances overall function — which can help you avoid needing physical therapy ever again. 

Meanwhile, proper fueling helps reduce inflammation, speed up muscle repair and support joint health, ensuring that your body has what it needs to perform and heal at its best — for many years to come.
