Expert Sports Physical Therapy in Metairie, LA
Stop pushing through pain and start performing at your peak. At FunXional Physical Therapy, every session is 1:1 with a Doctor of Physical Therapy — no techs, no handoffs, no cookie-cutter programs. Real care, real results, right here in Metairie.
Still Hurt After Trying Everything?
You've rested, iced, Googled, and maybe even tried PT before — but the pain keeps coming back. You deserve more than a 10-minute visit and a generic handout.
Rushed, Impersonal Care
Insurance-driven clinics overbook therapists and hand you off to aides. You spend more time waiting than healing — and leave with the same pain you came in with.
Generic Plans That Don't Stick
Cookie-cutter exercise sheets don't account for your body, your sport, or your goals. When treatment isn't personalized, progress is slow, frustrating, and short-lived.
Treating Symptoms, Not Root Causes
Masking pain with rest, ice, or medication doesn't fix what's actually wrong. Without addressing the underlying cause, injuries return — often worse than before.
Why Metairie Athletes Choose FunXional PT
FunXional PT was built as the antidote to rushed, impersonal care. Every session is 1:1 with your licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy — never a tech or assistant. We combine hands-on manual therapy, dry needling, shockwave therapy, and performance training to treat the root cause and get you back to doing what you love, faster.
1:1 care every visit — your Doctor of PT is with you the entire session, no sharing, no handoffs
Hybrid care model: combine in-clinic sessions with the FunXional PT App for virtual coaching, progress tracking, and direct messaging between visits
Cash-based, no-referral model — Louisiana is a direct-access state; most clients need far fewer visits than traditional PT, and HSA/FSA payments are accepted

FunXional PT is a cash-based, out-of-network clinic. This model allows us to spend real, uninterrupted 1:1 time with you — rather than rushing through visits to meet insurance quotas. We provide superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement, and we accept HSA and FSA payments. Most clients end up needing far fewer total visits (typically one visit every two weeks for 8–12 weeks) compared to traditional PT (3x/week), which can offset the cost significantly.
Your first session is a thorough 1:1 evaluation with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. We'll review your history, assess your movement patterns, identify the root cause of your pain or limitation, and begin building your personalized treatment plan. You leave with clarity, a plan, and next steps — not a generic handout.
Every visit is exclusively 1:1 with a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy — no aides, no techs, no shared appointments.
