Welcome to Functional Yoga Medicine’s Unique Approach to Yoga Physical Therapy
Revolutionizing Physical Therapy with Personalized, Whole-Person Care
If you’ve ever experienced traditional physical therapy, you’re probably familiar with this all-too-common scenario:
15 minutes of actual hands-on care (if you’re lucky).
The rest of your session is spent on exercises you could do at home.
Limited time with your therapist because of insurance restrictions.
A one-size-fits-all approach dictated by third-party payors, not by your unique needs.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Many people leave traditional PT feeling like they’re stuck in a cycle of symptom management without lasting relief. It’s a frustrating experience that leaves you dependent on short-term fixes rather than long-term solutions.
But we’re changing the game at Functional Yoga Medicine (FYM). Our approach to Yoga Physical Therapy offers something completely different.
How FYM Yoga Physical Therapy Stands Apart
Unlike traditional physical therapy, which is often limited by insurance payors and rigid protocols, our approach is focused on you, not the system. We believe in tailoring every session to meet your needs, ensuring you receive the time, attention, and expert care required for true, long-lasting transformation.
Here’s how we’re different:
1. Full 55-Minute, One-on-One Sessions
No rushed care. No “shared” visits. Just YOU and your practitioner.
Every minute of your session is customized to your unique needs.
We don’t “follow insurance guidelines” — we follow what your body needs.
During these sessions, you’ll receive:
Hands-on manual therapy (like trigger point release) to relieve muscle tension
Functional movement retraining to prevent future injuries.
Breathwork and the nervous system support the regulation of your body’s stress response.
Guidance for strength, alignment, and muscle activation — all essential for pain-free movement.
Your session isn’t over when the clock runs out. You’ll walk away with practical tools, guidance, and a sense of empowerment to continue your progress between sessions.
2. We Address the Root Cause, Not Just Symptoms
Most traditional PT focuses on the site of pain (like your back, knee, or neck) without asking why the pain is happening.
At FYM, we dig deeper to find the source of the problem. Pain is rarely isolated to one area — it’s often the result of issues with posture, alignment, movement, or even nervous system dysregulation.
How We Do It:
Posture Assessment:
We analyze how your posture may contribute to your pain.
Breath & Nervous System Regulation:
Stress and “fight-or-flight” responses affect how your body heals. We address this.
Functional Movement Analysis:
We examine how your body moves, not just in isolation.
When we identify the root cause, we can create lasting solutions, not temporary fixes—no more band-aid care.
3. We Don’t Just Manage Pain — We Transform It
Pain is your body’s way of telling you something is off. We aim to help you listen to that signal, address it, and transform it into strength and awareness.
Here’s how we help you move from pain to power:
Restore movement, not just “manage” pain.
Build strength and control, not just flexibility.
Teach you how to maintain progress, not create dependency.
When you’re done working with us, you’ll feel confident in managing your health — no more endless return visits.
4. We Combine Yoga, Physical Therapy, and Functional Medicine
Traditional PT focuses only on physical movement. FYM’s Yoga Physical Therapy integrates physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Our unique approach blends:
Yoga & Breathwork:
Calm your nervous system and activate your body’s “rest and digest” mode.
Physical Therapy & Muscle Activation:
Target weak or inactive muscles and restore movement patterns.
Functional Medicine:
Address inflammation, nutrition, and lifestyle factors that impact healing.
This integrated approach ensures you’re not just “feeling better” but getting better.
5. We Work For You, Not Insurance Companies
Many physical therapy clinics operate according to insurance guidelines. This means limited care, restricted visit counts, and “cookie-cutter” treatments prioritizing profit over people.
But at FYM, we work for YOU, not for insurance companies.
That means:
No arbitrary limits on how many sessions you’re “allowed” to have.
No insurance-driven treatment plans.
Full attention from your therapist — no “group” therapy.
We believe that third-party payors who’ve never met you shouldn’t dictate health. It should be driven by what’s best for your body’s unique healing process.

“My back pain used to come back every 6 months. But after four sessions with FYM, I’m finally pain-free — and I know how to keep it that way.”
