About Me:

Lawrence Wong, LMT, CFSC, PN

Specialist in Neuromuscular Manual Therapy
and Performance Optimization

 

Larry Wong is a Licensed Manual Therapist (LMT) driven by a passion for helping people overcome physical limitations and move better. As founder of Function Manual Therapy, he combines clinical expertise with certifications in Functional Strength Training (CFSC) and Precision Nutrition (PN) to deliver comprehensive, results-focused care.​

​

Larry's approach draws from his own athletic background in Table Tennis, Volleyball, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, giving him firsthand understanding of what the body endures during training and competition. Combined with extensive training in biomechanics and neuromuscular principles, this perspective allows him to deliver targeted, effective treatment strategies. His commitment to evidence-based care stems from experiencing the transformative power of skilled manual therapy firsthand.

​​

Beyond his clinical expertise with everyday people and athletes of all levels, including Olympians, Larry embodies a holistic approach to wellness, integrating his knowledge of nutrition and functional movement to support his clients' overall health and performance goals. He continues to pursue his diverse interests in photography, culinary arts, and performing arts, enriching his perspective and fostering a well-rounded approach to life and practice.

"If I tell you I'm good, probably you will say I'm boasting. But if I tell you I'm no good, you'll know I'm lying."
— Bruce Lee

​

This quote captures Larry's approach to describing his work. He has invested significantly in advanced training, understands complex musculoskeletal problems, and consistently helps people who haven't improved with conventional massage. That's not boasting—it's honest assessment based on training and outcomes. For those who have tried other approaches without lasting results, his expertise is worth considering.

​

Before establishing Function Manual Therapy, Larry spent over 25 years as a professional model and actor—a career that taught him discipline, attention to detail, and the importance of being fully present. After recognizing the impact manual therapy could have on quality of life, he graduated valedictorian from massage school and committed himself to advanced clinical training, studying with recognized leaders in neuromuscular therapy, fascial systems, and movement assessment.
