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.

Are you interested in a 1-on-1 FRC training session? Ask me here

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.

Are you a corporate staff member that cares about the health of its staff?

I currently help plan, prescribe and execute wellness days for large corporate companies. We look at the company staff as individuals and speak with them one-on-one to answer and address their health and wellness.

Staff are the most valuable assess to a company. As a Chiropractor, I visit one of the largest banks in the world and do onsite assessments and treatments. Occupational health of a corporation is one of the biggest concern of its staff. 74 percent of staff believes their health is deteriorating (AIA, 2017, see below)

Recently, I organized a health event with workstations that address health biometrics, movement and sleep in the workplace. Each participant had 10-15 minutes of one-on-one contact with a qualified health professional.

Learning from Sports Clinic experts

I was fortunate to visit Dr. Mike Chivers, Head Lead Instructor of Functional Anatomy Seminars for Functional Release and Functional Range Assessment. @drmchivers .

Dr. Mike Chivers allowed me to observe and speak to him on how he adapts the Functional Anatomy Seminars Paradigm when making clinical decisions on sports injury.

I was able to observe 6 cases in the time I was in the Sports Clinic. Here are some brief descriptions of the cases below:

Case 1- hip paib, achy but less sore, running box jumps causing pain into testicle region, cueing for cat cow was done to reduce rib flare and also practice diaphragm breathing for rib mobility.

Case 2- Ankle sprain from sports. FR done on ankle musculature

Case 3- right hip pain when walking

Case4- bilateral elbow, rotation irritation in forearms, lack of supination, elbow weighted cars and pails to supination given to promote motion

Case 5- left knee shattered, wiring 2x and pinning, 5 procedures, 6 month post total knee replacement, patient reported dry needling after 1 session brought the lowest pain levels down since knee replacement.

Case 6- Right knee pain and irritation in older female, difficulty walking, FR to knee

Special thank you Dr. Chivers and Sports Performance Centres for having me.
