Amazing results, Hip MRI showing Before and After training with Functional Range Conditioning principles!!!

Remote Hip FRA Assessment and Treatment Intervention

My client, a 42-year-old doctor from Bologna, Italy, was experiencing severe issues with both hips, especially the left one. After six months of excruciating pain, walking with crutches, numerous orthopedic and physical therapy visits, various pain medications, and injections, her last resort was total hip replacement. She decided to incorporate FRC (Functional Range Conditioning) training into her daily routine as an alternative approach.

Monitoring patients remotely can be challenging, requiring meticulous attention during the consultation and assessment phases. It is crucial to thoroughly explain how to take pictures and block movement properly to prevent compensatory and painful movements.

Francesca diligently performed her FRC exercises not just once or twice, but more than three times a day as prescribed. Although the frequency might seem excessive and time-consuming, it is necessary when facing debilitating pain affecting one's quality of life.

During rehabilitation, where intra-articular inflammation, bone cysts in the acetabulum (geode), cartilage consumption, and osteoarthritis were present, it is essential to practice specific load inputs multiple times daily to facilitate cellular tissue healing.

From an evolutionary perspective, the hip is designed for thousands of daily movements; therefore, rehabilitation exercises should not be limited to just once a day.

Diligence, commitment, and trust in the process helped Francesca alleviate acute pain, significantly improve range of motion, reduce intra-articular edema, and enhance the overall capsular environment. She no longer requires crutches and has potentially avoided total hip replacement by applying the Functional Range Systems approach.
