Our goal is simple: to help you become the healthiest version of yourself. Whether you’re looking to regain pain-free movement, improve athletic performance, or enhance your daily life, Fundamental Physical Therapy in East Nashville is your partner in building a solid foundation of health through the musculoskeletal system and beyond.
At fundamental physical therapy, we believe in treating each person, rather than their presentation of symptoms. An individualized, holistic approach is the only way to ensure long term resolution of symptoms. Our goal for each patient is to create a solid foundation of health through excellent function of the musculoskeletal system.
As we learn more about body systems, it becomes more and more apparent that no system works in isolation. Furthermore, physical and mental health are one and the same. By improving joint mobility, muscular function, and movement patterns through manual treatment and therapeutic exercise, we can begin to lay the groundwork for effective and long term change.
“Take care of the little things, and the big things take care of themselves.”
