FUNCTIONAL EXTREMITIES
Assess Beyond Pain. Understand Function. Treat With Purpose.
A practical approach to understanding extremity function, connecting clinical findings, and advancing chiropractic care.
Developed by Dr. Kyle Bryant, DC, CCEP.
BEYOND THE SPINE. BEYOND THE SYMPTOMS. UNDERSTAND FUNCTION.
Your patient’s focus is their pain. Ours is function.
A knee doesn’t work on its own, apart from the hip and the foot. A shoulder doesn’t work on its own, apart from the SC joint, the elbow and the wrist.
Functional Extremities gives you a consistent way to assess extremity function.
“My shoulder hurts, can you adjust it?”
Pain Tells You Where It Hurts. Function Tells You Where to Look.

CREATED FROM CLINICAL PRACTICE
Refined Through Repetition and Experience.
Dr. Kyle Bryant, DC, CCEP
Founder, Functional Extremities
15+ years in clinical practice · Owner, Integrative Chiropractic & Extremities
“This system was built because I personally experienced the challenges of early practice building with a lack of confidence and direction in my treatment approach.
I’d love for docs to experience and grow through the FE Method™ in the same way it has defined and paved the way for my success in practice.”
