I can't recommend Nick enough. I was in severe pain, I couldn't work, look after my kids. I couldn't even sit down. What was great was not just Nick's exercises, it was that he was there on the journey with you, helping you heal.

What was great was not just Nick's exercises, it was that he was there on the journey with you, helping you heal. I remember one time I was in so much pain I started having an anxiety attack on the call with him! And throughout the call he guided me back away from the anxiety and with enough pain reduction that I could also. And the exercises weren't just about core strength or whatever. It was also that, but it was about breathing, oxygen, alignment. It was holistic. I know here I am, sitting back, watching a movie, pain free 🙂🍿 Less

He diagnosed me and helped achieve pain free movement again. We set a date for re-evaluating my pain level and the need to continue if necessary. When I told him I felt really great he was very happy and brought our sessions to a close. There was no attempting to keep me on or to spend more money than I needed. He really truly cared that I had the best experience possible. I can't recommend him and Functional Movement Therapy enough! Less

Dr. Nick was instrumental in helping me get through a nagging back issue that I had been avoiding dealing with for some time. He’s patient, friendly and very knowledgeable. He was able to come up with various exercises and movements that were best suited for my body type and lifestyle. He also taught me how to incorporate these things into my busy schedule. What Dr. Nick brings to the table goes beyond simple treatment. He’s able to help you feel stronger, healthier and more confident with just a small investment in time and in yourself. Lastly, he gives you the tools you need to continue with your recovery and prevent further injury on your own. I completely trust Nick with my care and you should too! Less

Dr. Nick is very passionate about his work and getting you back to what YOU love to do. He really is a text message away if you have questions or need advice. The exercise program offers such diversity that you will never get bored-- huge plus!! I am pretty amazed at the all around strength I have gained in 2 months. Most importantly, I have learned valuable tools to target my specific pain patterns. We all know this journey can be a long and treacherous one, so I really encourage anyone reading this to consider giving FMT a try and find the support you deserve! Less

I've been dealing with non-specific low back pain for over 3 years. I've tried the chiropractor, massage therapy, multiple physical therapies, and several at home treatments with very minimal success or understanding of my pain. I can confidently say working with Dr. Nick at FMT has been the best physical therapy experience I've had. Dr. Nick was flexible with scheduling to meet my needs, very knowledgable, and truly cares about his patients. Through my experience with him at FMT, I gained a greater understanding of my injury and spinal hygiene, which has helped me to adapt my movements and daily activities to reduce pain and discomfort. Dr. Nick also helped me to return to movements I previously had trouble with, such as spinal flexion and loaded exercises, and overall restored my mobility. I would highly recommend working with him and FMT to anyone struggling with chronic back pain! Less

Nick directed my rehab after a back surgery. I'd worked with doctors and PTs and such on some earlier issues, so I had a pretty good idea of what to expect... or so I thought. Nick has a level of insight and expertise that often stunned me. I'd expected Joe PT Guy with a book of 20 exercises, and instead I got Back Repair Spock. I can't tell you how many times I said, "I can't do this..." and he said something like, "move your elbow three inches left.." and... problem solved. He walks around with this encyclopedic bones and joints and such and thus is seemingly able to solve any problem in a moment. He's also a teacher that doesn't say, "memorize this" but instead explains why something works or doesn't, which helps you get the most out an exercise in a manner that often reminded me of the old "give a man a fish..." story. In short, if you've got a back problem, you'll be in good hands with Nick. Less

Nick is extremely knowledgeable and passionate. You can’t put a price on his professionalism and dedication to helping his patients enjoy a pain- free life.I started seeing him due to pregnancy related sciatica as well as issues with my cervical spine that I once had assumed there was no relief for. I was having such bad sciatic nerve pain after a shift at work that once I got home an sat down, I couldn’t get back up. It only took 2 sessions to get me pain-free and the sessions after that were for maintenance and I actually feel strong in the places I once felt the most weak and vulnerable. I have my life back. Since then, moving around has been a so much easier. He really brings it back to the basics and the functions of movement in everyday life and focuses on intentional, conscious movement so your’re not straining or overcompensating and making injuries worse. He was also able to address other muscles and parts of the body used during pregnancy and labor that don’t typically get talked about but are so very important. I’m glad I decided to get a second opinion from him before just jumping into seeing a chiropractor again. I knew there had to be something more than JUST regular adjustments. The fact that FMT is remote makes it easy and convenient to attend meetings with him wherever you are. The workouts are easily accessible right on the app on your phone so you can literally take/do them anywhere. He is prompt with responses to questions which was super helpful and reassuring. I will definitely be returning to FMT if any issues arise in the future- I would (and do) recommend them to anyone and everyone. Less

I highly recommend Nick Salinas, I injured my shoulder a little over a year ago and had seen different doctors and therapist however I still could not lift my arm completely up i was in terrible pain, in my line of work I was told I would not be able to completely heal , I was told I would continue to injury my rotater cup if I didn't take at least 3 to 6 months off work , however I could not do that and refused to have any surgery done. I almost gave up with all medical advice until I was introduced via phone to Nick, I expressed my concerns to him and he was understanding and humbled to listen, I decided to give him a try , I must admit I was skeptical at first , however meeting with nick via zoom was the best decision I could have made, I am now completely recovered, pain free, and have complete movement in my shoulder. If your at your wits end and done with medical advice, give nick a chance you will not be disappointed. Thank you Coach Nick for all you did and continue to do for others you are a true blessing.

Nick at functional movement therapy has not only met my needs, concerns and troubles when it relates to my back pain and injury but he has exceeded all of those. After under going a very traumatic back injury and eventually having surgery, I was still looking for guidance to build strength, prevent further injury, and be pain free. I gained 100% trust in Nick and the program after just a few sessions. Nick listened to me and asked thoughtful questions, and performed many tests/ analysis through my movement while trying to fully understand what was causing my continued back and leg pain to keep coming back. Nick provided one on one attention, daily workouts/ exercises in the app, and the option to reach out whenever I had a concern or worry. This was unlike any support or treatment I had received from any other practitioner. I enjoyed doing our sessions through zoom as it made it more convenient for me to do this in my own home and I felt like I was given more one on one attention through the 50 min zoom calls than I had ever received at a PT clinic or doctor. I can happily say I have seen pain free days while working with FMT and I am stronger in my core and other parts of my body than I ever have been. FMT was worth every dollar I paid! Nick helped me finally believe I could heal. Highly recommend to anyone going through any injury or anyone who wants to build strength. Less

After 3 years of back pain and 2 spinal surgeries, I was ready to try a new approach to tackle my back issues. During the last 3 months, I’ve been able to replace my gym membership, PT appointments, chiropractor visits and massage therapy sessions with my program at FMT. Nick is not only an expert in back pain, but he understands the need for treatment to fit into your life, as well as the mental aspects of dealing with ongoing pain and injury. Having the access to an app with my customized treatment available at my fingertips made sticking to the program easy and convenient, which was really important to me as a mom of a 1 and 3 year old. I wish everyone dealing with back issues knew there are practitioners, like Nick, available to mentor, coach and treat. I will recommend FMT to everyone I know dealing with similar issues! Less

I’ve been to more than my share of PT/Chiropractors/Orthopedic drs over the years. I’m on month three of therapy with Functional Movement Therapy and have to say he’s changed the way I think about my movement. I find myself pausing just a moment to make sure that I’m performing a physical action using the correct muscle group, breathing the correct way, with the correct posture. Usually trainers just want you get through the set any way you can. Not FMT, each of my movements is evaluated and corrected so I’m doing the proper squat, stretch, etc. Not just “getting it done”. Now I’m finding all of my movements are more intentional, not just getting it done. Thanks Dr. Nick! Less

Before I started working with Nick, I was having lower back pain from an injury. I've done therapy before, but it never really helped. The first week of working with functional movement therapy I started feeling relief. Nick is very supportive and really goes the extra mile to provide support and care, he is really involved in the process and monitors your development while your working with him, which is really nice to have a professional looking after you while you try and heal. The sessions are done virtually which is really nice. I'm very happy with the level of help that I've gotten. Nick is super easy going and really cares about getting you relief. Would definitely recommend to others who need help getting over an injury. Less

I lost strength and balance after my gym closed last February (2020). By summer, I was having hip discomfort, especially with certain loads and movements. By the fall, I began having very sharp left hip pangs (sharp enough to cause a yelp), seemingly random -- not associated with any particular load, position, or movement. These increased in frequency to 30-40/day. Lack of balance became dangerous, so I guarded against falls, first with a walking stick, and later with a make-shift walker (pushed chair). Doctor-prescribed muscle relaxant did not help. In December, I scheduled a virtual evaluation with my personal trainer, Dave Thompson, and physical therapist Dr. Nick Salinas. Dr. Nick conducted 1-hour online evaluation, including history and various questions, movements, and exercises. That very afternoon, I received a written complete evaluation and prognosis, along with a program of therapeutic stretches and exercises. After 10 days, the pain and tightness were nearly gone. I walked with a stick, mostly as precaution. After 20 days, the pain and tightness were completely gone. I walked without the stick, and could treadmill for short sessions. After 30 days, all's well. I now treadmill for 30 minute sessions, 1.5 miles. The thing is, all this was done not by medication or surgery, but solely through daily stretches and exercises. Many MDs, bless their hearts, think first of drugs or cutting. Here's proof that before either of those should come physical therapy. So, if you're in discomfort or pain, check in with Dr. Nick -- a real pro. Less

He's given me highly personalized exercises for my complex conditions (which will be lifelong) all with living life functionally in mind while also considering specific goals. Nick also takes the time to educate me on the body and what I'm experiencing. SO HELPFUL. Working through telehealth has been great, too! Definitely more convenient. Thanks to the combo of expert analysis of my body's movements and descriptions of my experience, I haven't felt any limitations despite never being in person. Lastly, the best things he's taught me: Don't do things that cause you pain...Should have been obvious, right? NOPE! Not for me :p Less
I've been suffering from back pain for the last 10 years and Nick figured out what was causing the pain over an hourlong Zoom call. He taught me more about my body than any of the doctors or physical therapists I've paid over the years. He taught me to do simple exercises to quickly ease the pain (so easy I have no excuses!) and he also helped me create a more ergonomic workspace. It's all made ... More

Working with a physical therapist remotely can be an awkward experience but Nick takes all the awkwardness away with his kindness and patience, and I can't thank him enough! Less
I just want to express how pleased I am with the results of my evaluation... after the first appointment, my pain is almost non existent. I admit I was apprehensive because I never heard of “Tele-health” and wasn’t sure what to expect.. my skepticism was quickly relieved as Nick was able to direct me through the assessment and demonstrated exercises without issue! I am pleased with the process an... More

Back in March I injured my back by pulling a hardwood coffee table. I did not feel anything at first but once my body started to cool off that is when I felt the pain, I was in tears and to make matters worst my town was shut down due to COVID-19. Then I remember about Tele-health and that is how I landed here. They helped me so much and it was easy at home exercises, I would get an email with ... More
Back in March I injured my back by pulling a hardwood coffee table. I did not feel anything at first but once my body started to cool off that is when I felt the pain, I was in tears and to make matters worst my town was shut down due to COVID-19. Then I remember about Tele-health and that is how I landed here. They helped me so much and it was easy at home exercises, I would get an email with helpful exercises I could do until my next session and they send you emails to check up on you making sure I was okay prior to my next appointment. I highly recommend them especially because you do not have to leave the comfort of your own home! Less
During the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic I was having extreme jaw pain due to my TMJ and was desperate for help.

Luckily, I was able to be seen immediately by the physical therapist at Functional Movement Therapy. Within one session, Dr. Salinas was able to help relieve my pain. He gave me list of exercises to complete daily and by the end of the week my pain was gone! The virtual visit was so easy and convenient that I doubt I will go back to an in-person PT. I would recommend this practice to anyone of any age or treatment scenario. Less

When I could barely do exercises. It was Nick who showed me how to still workout my muscles and get them moving through stretches first, then I got stronger doing more exercises. Before I knew it, I was actually doing exercises I couldn’t do before. He is great at his craft and I recommend him to all who need Movement therapy.... More
