Functional Range Conditioning (FRC): Understanding Mobility Training

Functional Range Conditioning

Functional Range Conditioning, or FRC, is a mobility training system designed to expand your active, usable range of motion. Developed by Dr. Andreo Spina, FRC helps improve joint health, movement capacity, strength, and control—so you can move better, longer.

FRC is at the core of what we do at Motive Training—continue reading to see why.

Redefine what it means to move

How does Functional Range Conditioning help?

Do you suffer from lower back pain or a poppy, clicky shoulder? We’re here to alleviate your discomfort and help you move with ease.

Do you wake up feeling beat up every day? We can show you how to recover more efficiently.

Are you unsure how to get started on your fitness journey? We can teach you the fundamentals of human movement.

Using Functional Range Conditioning, we ensure that no potential is left unexplored. Our program is designed to cater to everyone, regardless of their current fitness level. FRC teaches the central nervous system to control newly acquired ranges, enhancing overall movement quality for all.

Controlled articular rotations (CARs) are a key component of FRC. CARs are a series of exercises that involve moving a joint through its full range of motion under muscular control. These exercises improve joint health, maintain range of motion, and enhance muscular and neurological control. By providing afferent feedback to the nervous system, CARs help maintain articular health and serve as a self-assessment tool.
