Functional Range Conditioning in London
If you’re looking for mobility training near me with a certified FRC coach, Functional Range Conditioning can help transform how you move, feel, and perform. At Rolls and Rehab in Richmond, South West London, we are committed to guiding you towards achieving unparalleled freedom of movement, enhanced physical performance, and a profound sense of well-being.
What is FRC?
Functional Range Conditioning is a comprehensive training system with a heavy emphasis placed on joints and connective tissues. The goal is to work simultaneously on improving body control, joint strength and mobility.
With FRC mobility training, we are able to provide a systematic approach to improving the aforementioned qualities and learning how to work in our end ranges of motion effectively.
Functional Range Assessment is what we use to garner objective measures of your movement capacity in the areas you want to focus on.
The assessment will inform us on what to specifically work on within the FRC training system geared towards your specific limitations.
We can assess the Neck, Shoulders, Elbows, Wrists, Hands/Fingers, Spine, Hips, Knees, Ankles, and Feet/Toes in an independent fashion to understand the local movement capacity at that joint.
Understanding the specific deficits will allow us to begin training in a way that targets what you specifically need; where we can then compare this to your goals and plan how to achieve them.

What are the benefits of FRC?
Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) is a system of mobility training developed by Dr. Andreo Spina. It focuses on improving joint mobility, joint strength, and body control to enhance overall movement quality and reduce the risk of injury.
Here are some benefits of Functional Range Conditioning:
1. Increased joint mobility: FRC emphasizes the development of a functional range of motion in joints. By targeting specific joint articulations and using controlled movements, FRC helps to expand the usable range of motion, increasing joint mobility and flexibility.
2. Injury prevention: FRC can help reduce the risk of injuries by improving the resilience and strength of joints. By training the joints to move more freely and efficiently, it enhances their ability to handle stress and withstand external forces, decreasing the likelihood of strains, sprains, and other common injuries.
3. Improved movement quality: FRC focuses on developing better movement patterns and motor control. By increasing joint mobility and control, it can enhance the quality of movement in various activities, such as sports, exercise, and everyday tasks. This can lead to better performance and reduced risk of compensatory movement patterns that may cause pain or dysfunction.
4. Enhanced athletic performance: By optimizing joint function, FRC can improve athletic performance in sports and physical activities. Increased joint mobility and stability allow for better power transfer, agility, and coordination, leading to improved speed, strength, and overall athletic capabilities.
5. Pain management and rehabilitation: FRC can be beneficial for individuals dealing with chronic pain or rehabilitating from injuries. It provides targeted interventions to address joint limitations and restore proper movement mechanics. By gradually loading and strengthening the joints, FRC can help alleviate pain and aid in the recovery process.
6. Long-term joint health: Regular practice of FRC promotes joint health and longevity. By actively maintaining and improving joint mobility, it can help prevent the development of degenerative conditions, such as osteoarthritis. FRC's emphasis on joint strength and control also contributes to the overall health and durability of the musculoskeletal system.
It's important to note that like any training method, individual results may vary. It's recommended to work with a qualified FRC practitioner or movement specialist to tailor the program to your specific needs and goals.
