Wellness & Preventive Care
Not currently injured and want to keep it that way? We got you! With a whole body movement analysis, strength testing & exercising programming we can identify areas that you need to work on ahead of time to keep you moving while feeling awesome.
Our mission is to transform how you live and move.
We know how frustrating it can be to be sidelined from your normal activities, not able to play with your kids or get your workout in for your daily mental health break.
That’s why we take a holistic, root cause approach to evaluation & treatment to provide you tools & education you need to stay pain free, for life!
We not only assess your specific area of injury, but how your body moves as a whole.
We then take the time to create a truly individualized plan rather than hand you a generic list of exercises.
At Functional Phyzio you can always expect:
- 1 on 1 care for a full hour-long appointment
- To be seen on time
- To have all your questions answered
- Ease of communication between appointments
- Individualized treatment

What our client's say
I came postpartum to solve a variety of issues. With the help of Dr.Norah and with a little effort at home we could solve most of it. The atmosphere and staff in the office are very friendly and welcoming. I Always feel comfortable to come. Also very thankful to all the informative emails that Dr.Norah sends.
Kristina Gudovskikh
Norah and her team are amazing! She is very knowledgeable and is dedicated to making sure you get the best 1 on 1 care. As a fellow PT myself, I would highly recommend her or anyone at Functional Phyzio. Her admin team also makes scheduling/answering questions a breeze!
Kim Kurtz
Dr. Norah is the best PT I have ever worked with and I have worked with a lot! She is extremely knowledgable, uses a variety of techniques and is very thorough and focused in the exercises she gives and treatments she provides. She is an excellent PT for runners and for women! I highly recommend her!
Katie Skurski
I had a wonderful experience working with Norah after the birth of my first son. She was very knowledgable in helping to strengthen my pelvic core and gave me exercises to reduce my pain and discomfort. I would highly recommend visiting with her if you are a new mom!
Ashley Acornley
I’m a trail ultra runner, and I came to Functional Phyzio with nagging knee pain. I was panicking because I had a race coming up that I was training for and was worried that I would have to pull out. My first visit with Norah helped ease that anxiety and we came up with a plan so that I could still train and also continue to heal and get stronger.
Carlita Farmer
I have come to Norah with various aches and pains during marathon training (even right before marathons) over the years and she has worked with me to make sure I can stay healthy while maintaining my fitness. She really works with you to make sure you can achieve your goals while making sure you’re doing it safely!
