Functionize Health & Physical Therapy - Dunwoody

Excellent facility and staff. Lauren was great helping me stay healthy for a recent marathon. She took time to understand my needs, work out tough areas, and provided great at-home exercises giving me confidence I could make it through training and race day injury free.

I went to see Lauren for shoulder pain, stemming from in injured rotator cuff. I couldn't get through my normal daily tasks without shooting pain - even actions like picking up a coffee cup hurt. After the very first session, I immediately noticed a reduction in pain and greater mobility. She gave me some targeted movement exercises and stretches that freed up the joint and further increased my range of motion. I went back two more times, and each time I noticed a huge improvement. Now I'm just keeping up with the exercises she recommended to keep the problem from coming back. I like PT, because it treats the problem, rather than the symptoms. Plus, Lauren is a great practitioner and gives very personalized care to each of her patients. The rest of the experience visiting the Functionize office was also very pleasant. The staff are friendly and the environment is welcoming. If you want to feel better, and actually BE better, I can't recommend Functionize highly enough.

My dentist recommended I see Lauren because of my TMJ. Through her help, I'm now able to open and close my mouth without it popping. Since then, she's also helped me with other issues like my foot health. I appreciate how attentive she is and helpful with finding solutions that work for me. The facility is very nice and the staff incredibly friendly. I've recommended Functionize to several people and would encourage anyone who needs help with functional movement or pain to make an appointment today!

Our daughter has recently started seeing Shiv at the Decatur Functionize location. She is a competitive athlete, and Shiv has been remarkably adept and efficient at tailoring a program specifically for her needs and goals. In addition to an ongoing training program, she seems him sporadically and he quickly addresses anything and everything that comes up for her as an athlete, keeping her on the playing field, more confident, and at her physical best. I highly recommend Shiv and Functionize in general. Lauren, the founder, is the best, most responsive, invested and comprehensive PT either my wife or I have ever seen.

They create a fun loving and bright environment. I am impressed and amazed with Shiv’s knowledge. At first I was skeptical because I have gone to reputable organizations for therapy and I was placed with a young an inexperienced therapist. I felt amazing after my first visit and each subsequent visit has been very effective. I am being treated for a meniscus tear and his explanation of my treatment and progression was easy for me to understand. I am always pleasantly greeted by the front office assistant. This clinic is truly exceptional.

I met with John for an initial running assessment, and it was great. He recorded video footage of my running form, reviewed it with me, taught me exercises that will help improve my form, and recorded a final video for a before and after so I could see the differences myself. I'm not even much of a runner but am signing up for the "Master Your Running" program to not only help with pain prevention as I start to run more but also help with my running efficiency for a 5k goal I set for myself.

The Functionize staff were super friendly and they have a very clean and well laid out facility. I met with John who did a great job helping me understand my running and where I can improve by using a treadmill and video recording on each side of me. It was super helpful to have a recording of my body movement along with the digital drawings to point out positioning and form. I learned a ton from our session including a few take home exercises to further improve my form so I can prevent injuries and improve my overall running performance. Will be coming back to get further instructions and exercises so I can continue improving.

I am in the heart of marathon training and went for a mix of preventative maintenance and then some nagging hip/back issues. Lauren was so thorough in her diagnosis and treatment. I left with a mobility regimen that has me feeling good two weeks later. My next couple hard runs have been my best of training so far and my body feels fluid. Highly recommend for anyone trying to push their limits!
