What is Functional Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation?

Joint and Soft Tissue

Have you been trying to manage chronic pain, fatigue, or stubborn health conditions without lasting success?

Maybe you’ve tried medications, physical therapy, or even surgery—only to find your symptoms return or never fully go away.

Functional Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (FPMR) is a different kind of healthcare. It combines the best of hands-on physical therapy, chiropractic rehabilitation, and advanced functional medicine, giving you a comprehensive, root-cause approach to healing your body from the inside out.

At All Seasons Integrative Health, we call this the Path to Peak Performance—because it’s about restoring how your body should function, so you can feel, move, and live at your best.


Traditional Medicine is Reactive—We’re Proactive

The conventional medical model is symptom-driven. You get a diagnosis, then a medication or surgery to suppress the symptoms. But what if your fatigue, pain, or brain fog is actually the result of multiple underlying imbalances?

That’s where FPMR shines. Instead of guessing or masking symptoms, we identify the root cause—whether it’s mechanical, neurological, or metabolic—and create a plan that addresses it comprehensively.


The 3 Pillars of Functional Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

1. Functional Medicine

This is the metabolic engine of your healing plan. We use functional lab testing and in-depth questionnaires to discover what’s going on beneath the surface—such as:

  • Inflammation

  • Gut dysfunction

  • Hormonal imbalances

  • Nutrient deficiencies

  • Blood sugar dysregulation

Once we uncover the imbalances, we build a Metabolic Rehabilitation plan—including personalized supplements, targeted nutrition, and lifestyle strategies to support detoxification, healing, and energy production.


2. Physical Rehabilitation

Your body’s structure matters. If joints are restricted, nerves are compressed, or muscles are dysfunctional, healing can stall. That’s why we incorporate:

  • Spinal Decompression

  • PEMF Therapy

  • K-Laser and Focused Shockwave

  • Soft Tissue Release and Functional Chiropractic

  • Functional Movement Retraining

This is more than pain relief—it’s retraining your body to move and function better so healing is sustained long-term.


3. Integrated Care Plan

The real magic happens when we combine both metabolic and physical therapies into one cohesive plan—designed for you. We guide you step by step through your customized healing journey, adjusting as your body improves and regenerates.


Who Is FPMR for?

Functional Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is ideal for those dealing with:

  • Neuropathy (numbness, tingling, burning pain)

  • Chronic joint or back pain

  • Spinal disc issues

  • Brain fog or chronic fatigue

  • Autoimmune flare-ups

  • Metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, or stubborn weight

  • Long COVID or post-viral fatigue

  • Digestive issues, bloating, IBS

It’s also highly effective for athletes, professionals, and aging adults who want to perform at a higher level and avoid medication or surgery.


The Path to Peak Performance

We don’t just want you to feel better—we want to help you stay better. That’s why our program follows a three-step process:

  1. Discover the root cause through testing, imaging, and physical exams

  2. Rebuild with customized physical and metabolic rehabilitation

  3. Optimize your vitality with ongoing support, movement, and nutrition

You’ll have a care team that listens, tracks your progress, and adapts your plan as you improve.
