About

Prana Functional Manual Therapy® opened in January 2009 across from Penn Medicine Park (formerly Clipper Magazine Stadium) in Lancaster PA. We have two full-time physical therapists – Dawn Cox and Charles O’Malley. We also have four part-time physical therapists – Heather Lindsley, Sean MacLaughlin, Sophia Garra, and Shannon Munley.

Prana Functional Manual Therapy® is an intimate physical therapy clinic that offers Functional Manual Therapy®: An integrative manual therapy that blends the value of “hands-on” treatment with the power of customized neuromuscular and functional retraining to take care of the whole body.

Functional Manual Therapy® is an approach to patient care coined and developed by Gregory and Vicky Johnson in the early 1990’s.
We are unique in that we do not have any physical therapy assistants on staff; we provide all our patients direct contact with a licensed physical therapist for personalized, one-on-one treatment sessions

Dawn is a CFMT (Certified Functional Manual Therapist), which means she is only one of 4 in Pennsylvania to be certified with this proven, effective system for treatment of a wide spectrum of patients. Heather, Charlie, Sean, Shannon, and Sophia are also very knowledgeable in functional manual therapy as this is Prana’s paradigm of treatment. The outcomes speak for themselves: improved function for everyone. Patients range from high–level athletes to chronic pain sufferers who have all but given up on life without pain.

We are proud to treat our patients in an exceptionally beautiful clinic. Come see and feel the ways we are changing physical therapy in Lancaster.
