ENTER HEREFunctional Range Release F.R.™Functional Range Release™ is a revolutionary soft-tissue treatment and rehabilitation management system. Utilizing the trademarked 'PAIL's' (Progressive Angular Isometric Loading™) and Tissue Tension Technique™, Functional Range Release™ soft-tissue management expands on the basic tenets of myofascial-release treatments by simultaneously assessing, expanding, and instantly strengthening the patient’s functional range of motion. Following up on the widely popular Functional Anatomic Palpation Systems™ Seminars, offering advanced instruction in soft-tissue palpation and assessment, F.R.™ Seminars provide manual-medical professionals including Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Massage and Athletic Therapists, Osteopaths and Medical Doctors, instruction in this innovative soft-tissue treatment system which some refer to as the new gold standard in soft-tissue injury management.

TESTIMONIALS
I recently had the opportunity to take the F.A.P.™ and F.R.™ seminars for the lower body instructed by Dr. Spina and his team. It was amazingly informative and well instructed and I was able to implement what I had learned immediately. Two cases produced incredible results. The first was a man with low back pain into the foot for several weeks. He had been adjusted elsewhere but the pain would return in two days. I implemented the techniques I had learned and within two weeks the pain was totally gone. The second was a young girl who injured her right hip, leg and knee in a snowboarding accident. A week or two after her injury she came to my office unable to straighten her knee or lower back. Again, utilizing the techniques I learned at the F.R.™ seminar she felt 50% better and the next day 80% better able to straighten her leg and back with minimal pain. I strongly recommend the seminars. The techniques will bring you much better results when treating your patients. It has really helped me! Thank you Dr. Spina.
