What is Functional Range Systems?

     Developed by world-renowned musculoskeletal expert Dr. Andreo Spina, Functional Range Conditioning® (FRC), Functional Range Release (FR) and Functional Range Assessment (FRA) are parts of a comprehensive mobility and joint training system based in scientific principals and research.  FRA is an assessment system used to identify true joint ranges of motion, and look for areas of movement deficit.  FRC utilizes the latest advancements in scientific knowledge, combined with tried and tested training methods to increase ones active, useable ranges of motion by simultaneously improving articular mobility, strength/resilience, and neurological control. In essence, the FRC training system improves the ability to control, and move one’s own body which in turns allows you to move your best, perform your best and take your physical abilities to the next level! Many of the techniques used in FRS are also used in a clinical setting for injury rehabilitation and prevention.

Benefits of Functional Range Conditioning
  • Improved Mobility
  • Increased Joint Strength
  • Improved Articular Stability & Longevity
  • Athletic Performance Enhancement

Dr. Joseph Greenwood and Dr. Jordan Kersten both have certifications in the Functional Range Systems and use the system to both train and treat their athletes and patients.  Want to learn more, Click on the logos above.

Mobility Development

 Mobility refers to the amount of active, usable motion that one possesses. The more mobile a person is, the more they are able to maximize their movement potential safely, efficiently, and effectively.
Chiropractic Providing exercises

Body Control 

 Training with FRC improves the function of the your nervous system. This leads to a reduction of pain and injury, an improvement in joint health, and an increased ability to move freely and easily.

Joint Strength

 While improving mobility and movement potential, the FRC® system also acts to ‘bullet proof’ (or safe-guard) your joints so that movement can be executed safely.

Book with Brooke

If you’re an athlete, at any level, you’ll want to meet Brooke.  Brooke Edwardson’s resume and skillset with athletes is extensive, and recently she added to her resume with a Masters in Advanced Health Care Practice in Sports and Exercise Medicine (AHCP-SEM) from Western University.   While in the program,  Brooke focused on all aspects of delivering comprehensive sports medical coverage for a wide variety of venues.  Additionally, she completed research on ACL-related injuries based on playing surface types in collaboration with several sports medicine and surgical physicians.  Brooke says the experience gave her one-of-a-kind insight into the risks, prevention strategies, and  keys to post-ACL surgical rehabilitation at the highest of levels. 

Having originally graduated with a Masters of Physiotherapy from Western, Brooke has quickly developed into one fo London’s brightest and most dynamic sports physiotherapists. Brooke sees patients both on and off the field and when in clinic, she chooses to treat at Pro Function’s sports injury clinic due to the fact that the facility has 40,000 sq ft of turf and two weight-training areas which allows her to really challenge her patients as they return to activity/sport. 

Professionally, Brooke has worked in various formats with Skate Canada, the Toronto Rock, at both the Canada Games and the Ontario Summer Games, with the Toronto Triathlon, St George Rugby, Great Lake Canadians (GLC) Baseball, and right here in London as the lead physiotherapist with FC London. Additionally, Brooke works as a consultant for GM Canada and feels the physicality and endurance required with line-side work mimics many of the soft tissue injuries commonly associated with the training errors seen in athletes. 

Outside of the clinic, Brooke loves finding creative ways to stay active and is up for the challenge of trying out a new sport or skill.  She enjoys running, rock climbing, hiking, water sports, and of course soccer!  She also loves to travel and spend time with family and friends.
