MODULE ONE Muscular & Postural Control

The Functional Rehabilitative Training (FRT) course was designed with clients and patients in mind. The emergence of ‘Functional’ training within the health and fitness industry over the past few years has been immense, however it has also become a huge and fast-moving revelation in the medical and alternative healthcare fields. This is due in large to the education in such fields including and sometimes revolving around a biomechanical model of care. This model encompasses the assessment and manual treatment (manipulation, mobilisation, dry needling and massage etc.) of biomechanical dysfunctions.

With this considered, the Functional Rehabilitative Training course was crafted - attempting to bridge the gap between medical knowledge and exercise expertise. The course draws upon understanding from both fields to create a new generation of professionals focused on treating and preventing acute biomechanical pain and dysfunction with the use of exercise in conjunction with continuing professional manual care.
