Functional Restoration Program (FRP) is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to pain management and rehabilitation. This innovative care model uses a whole person approach combining physical therapy, counseling, movement instruction, relaxation training, and individualized coaching in areas such as health and nutrition to achieve profound results. Since FRP approaches care from a broad perspective that coordinates multiple disciplines, results are more effective than traditional, stand-alone treatments. This remarkable program is outcome-driven and solution focused, helping participants optimize functionality, reduce pain, minimize reliance on medical treatments and medication, and return to a productive life. The Functional Restoration Program is a remarkable and innovative treatment model that seeks to provide the following profound results: Improved function for daily activities Increased fitness, strength, balance and flexibility Increased confidence and independence Increased feelings of emotional well-being Reduced sense of suffering Decreased feelings of depression, hopelessness, anger and worry associated with chronic pain and loss of function Decreased likelihood of injury recurrence Improved pain-coping skills Reduced reliance on medication Reduced reliance on medical treatments Improved wellness through lifestyle and nutritional choices Quicker return to an active and productive life, whether at home or at work Sustainable results that participants are able to maintain While the Functional Restoration Program cannot eliminate pain, the focus of the program is on improving the individual's quality of life while coping with chronic pain. FRP helps participants increase physical function, improve emotional well-being, regain confidence and reclaim an active, productive lifestyle. FRP is a collaborative and active approach to therapy, where each participant becomes a key element of the treatment. Unlike other passive modalities, where treatments are done to the patient, the Functional Restoration Program takes an active approach, encouraging individuals to take responsibility for his or her recovery.
