About
Dr. Sean Altman, PT, DPT
Developer of Orthopedic Functional Medicine · OFM Program Director
Dr. Altman developed Orthopedic Functional Medicine to help clinicians answer a critical question: does the diagnosis fully explain the patient's problem?
His approach brings orthopedic evaluation together with a broader understanding of movement, nervous-system influences, and recovery biology. In clinical practice at Reverse Time Wellness in Stamford, Connecticut, he combines patient history, physical examination, functional testing, and diagnostic ultrasound to investigate persistent pain and incomplete recovery.
Through OFM education, Dr. Altman translates that approach into a structured clinical reasoning framework. His courses teach clinicians to prioritize findings, recognize when further investigation is warranted, select appropriate interventions, and reassess whether the plan is working. Case-based learning connects these principles to practical decisions in patient care.
He is also the developer of AltPoint™, an ultrasound-guided electrolysis treatment approach.
