Transform Your Career with Functional Medicine

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) or licensed physical therapist, you've dedicated your career to helping patients move better, recover faster, and live pain-free. But what if you could do even more — not just rehabilitate the body, but optimize it from within?

Through functional medicine training for physical therapists, Empire Medical Training empowers DPTs to address the biochemical and hormonal factors that influence recovery, inflammation, and performance. You'll gain the skills to integrate metabolic health, nutrition, hormone therapy, and peptide medicine into your existing practice, transforming your clinic into a comprehensive wellness center.

Our integrative medicine courses for physical therapists bridge the gap between musculoskeletal care and internal optimization, giving you the tools to help patients heal faster, feel stronger, and age better.

Why Physical Therapists Are Moving into Functional Medicine

the perfect complement to rehabilitation medicine

The Perfect Complement to Rehabilitation Medicine

Functional Medicine and physical therapy share the same philosophy — addressing the root cause of dysfunction, not just the symptoms. By earning your functional medicine certification for physical therapists, you'll learn to analyze hormonal, inflammatory, and metabolic imbalances that can stall recovery and contribute to chronic pain or fatigue. With advanced hormone and peptide therapy training for physical therapists, you'll discover how peptide protocols accelerate muscle repair, enhance mobility, and support long-term wellness — giving your patients the recovery edge they've been missing.

broaden your clinical impact and income

Broaden Your Clinical Impact and Income

Adding anti-aging and regenerative medicine for physical therapists to your practice allows you to go beyond rehab. You can offer IV nutrition, metabolic optimization, peptide therapy, and functional testing to create complete recovery and performance programs. By building a cash-based wellness business for physical therapists, you'll diversify your revenue while creating lasting value for patients who want full-body restoration and preventive care.
