Function Therapy

Client Success: From Daily Migraines to Pain-Free Workdays! 🌟💼

We are incredibly proud to share a recent breakthrough by our clinical team at Function Therapy Practice! It perfectly highlights the power of a personalized, real-world recovery plan.

A client came to us balancing a highly stressful management role at a local daycare. Severe neck tension and headaches had escalated into debilitating migraines, forcing her to take unwanted days off work.

Our initial clinical assessment mapped out:
- Global Mobility Restrictions: Limited range of movement across her cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), and lumbar (lower back) spine.
- High Sensitivity: Advanced muscle stiffness with pain registering at a 7/10 on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).

Our therapist designed a precise, multi-layered treatment plan:
- Targeted Hands-On Work: Soft tissue release and Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) focusing on the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, splenius capitis, erector spinae, and QL.
- Corrective Exercise Blueprint: A tailored home program featuring active neck stretches, chin retractions for deep stability, and key ergonomic pointers for her desk posture and repetitive day care movements. Foam Roller work for the Thoracic area was also advised.

The Results After Just 4 Sessions! 🎉
Thanks to our clinical team's precision and the client’s amazing consistency at home, the transformation has been incredible:
- Zero migraines for the last 2 weeks!
- Headaches have drastically decreased in intensity and frequency.
- Her baseline pain dropped from a 7/10 down to a 3/10 (only on a very bad day!).
- She now feels no limitations on her neck movement or daily activities.

True, lasting recovery happens when we treat the unique person and the dysfunction together. Teamwork makes the dream work, and we are here to help be part of your recovery team!
