Functional Range Conditioning Course

As part of a team with Hunter Cook (Lead Instructor), I represented Functional Anatomy Seminars as an assistant instructor for Functional Range Conditioning or FRC. FRC is the gold standard in mobility training and Joint Health.

It was an honour to be a part of educating health professionals in Asia once again. We had 90+ participants sign up for the FRC Course. Our participants were from all over Asia: Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand and of course Hong Kong. Check out the gallery at the bottom for some quick course pics.

The next FRC course in Asia will be in Singapore (english) and Seoul (English with Korean interpretation). I will be in Singapore as an instructor.

FRC focuses on 1-on-1, individualized. comprehensive joint training system based in scientific principals and research. Have you heard of the Functional Range Systems? If not, You can read more about the core certifications FRC and FR here.

I have been involved with the Functional Range systems for some time and have been an assistant instructor with the Functional Anatomy Seminars for 1 year.

FRC can help personal trainers, physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Osteopaths etc. learn to use training as part of their treatment protocol. Is your health professional using training as a form of treatment? They should be as its gold standard in specific programming for an individuals capacity. Do you have a fitness or health facility that would like to learn FRC? Feel free to contact me here.

Shoulder Pain

Do you have shoulder pain?

Check out the videos below on my clients’ progress. Living with shoulder stiffness and pain can be difficult. You have options to help decrease your shoulder pain.

What are my options for shoulder pain?

There are both invasive and non-invasive options. My client opted for surgical intervention first. This option was chosen based on thorough research, clinical case history and patient values. He then put in the work after surgery with a team of physiotherapists, Chiropractor and trainers to get him to this point.

If you are having problems, the best thing to do is get an assessment to see what is best for your case and is in line with your values.

Running Race

Running-Chiropractor-Leg-Pain — Running race participants, Troy De Haas and Cadel Evans (Head of Sport, 2011 Tour De France Winner)

Trail running at night? The athletes took the starting line at 830pm to run a night trail race, the Barclay’s Moontrekker,

I was the onsite clinician at the start and finish line. Some runners needed to be seen pre race to get taped up or injury advice. Post race care included taking care of

ankle sprains, quadriceps strains, contusions and cramps. Most clients were iced, taped, massaged or had their joints mobilized. During and after the event, I had the pleasure of meeting and treating the BMC Race team. The 2011 Tour De France winner, Cadel Evans and Head of sport, Troy De Haas, were participants in the race and came to the office afterwards for an appointment. Thanks guys!

Are you signed up for a running race? Have an onsite clinician at your event by contacting me.

Performance

Chiropractor-running-hip-pain — Track Athlete and I

Performance is VITAL for life and sport.

This past month I travelled to Korea with my wife (also a Chiropractor), Dr. Tracy Ho while she attend the Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) course. FRC was developed through Functional Anatomy Seminars and Dr. Andreo Spina. I have been fortunate to be learning with Dr. Spina since 2010 and have been a certified FRC mobility specialist since 2013.

I had a chance to speak with the lead instructors, Dewey Neilsen and Michael Ranfone. It was great to see how FRC can be organised into a group class, called KINSTRETCH. I hope to take Kinstretch as a way to increase group performance in the near future. I will be travelling to learn more from Michael at the Functional Range Assessment for advanced practitioners at the Onnit Academy in May.

Check out the video of FRC and Kinstretch below:

Performance care in Korea

I was privileged to meet and observe some of the members of Xion.,and the Athletic Republic Network team in Seoul. I was able to observe how athletes go through pre season testing and their protocol on increasing speed, agility and strength. Daum Jung, a performance and strength and conditioning specialist, brought me through what its like to interpret data from pre season testing and using it to develop a performance program. I also got to speak with some athletes their injury histories. For more information on Xion Korea, click here. For a quick tour of Xion Korea click here.

I was also fortunate to train some Brazilian Jiu Jitsu while in Korea. Professor Kris Kim, a blackbelt under Tony Passos and Atos BJJ USA, showed us some great technique. The Students at Beomgye New Wave BJJ were gracious enough to let me borrow a gi and attend a class and roll. I was also invited to attend the Yongsan BJJ open mat located on the USA Army base in Itaewon, Seoul. Thanks for the hospitality!
