Injury, Fatigue, & Fast Twitch Fibers
Brian Fox View this post on Instagram 🦵🏼Research has shown that when a tissue or tissues get injured, the slow twitch (ST) muscle fibers decrease in the affected tissue and surrounding area(s) , thus leaving behind mostly fast twitch muscle fibers (FT). . 🦵🏼This is valuable information when in treatment, since ST […]
Vispassana Crossover
Samantha Faulhaber Quickly let’s mention that I’ve been working on myself for years. I took one ten-day course, and you’re not going to magically implement and feel the same ways after reading this. Sorry to disappoint. Which is a great jumping off point! Vipassana meditation attempts to get you to a place where you […]

Critical Look #1 – FRC
Christine Ruffolo ‘Critical Look’ challenges the way systemic information is presented and questions the story being told. Personal background with system – attended a FRC seminar/certification in December of 2015. What FRC is getting right They have been brilliant at internalizing the focus of movement. Getting people to pay attention to their joints […]

Nick Konow On a Tuesday evening this past winter, I danced to maybe 10 songs in a bar, in the middle of a modest crowd, in a rather shit part of downtown Los Angeles. Context is everything. The context in this instance, is that the behavior of me choosing to partake in anything that might […]
FRC 101: An Elegant Framework for Improving Mobility
Chandler Stevens Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) is an empirically-driven thought process around mobility developed by Dr. Andreo Spina. After attending an FRC seminar and letting it percolate in my practice, I’m convinced that it’s one of the most robust approaches to mobility (our true potential for movement) out there. It’s beautiful in its simplicity, […]
Decoding PAILs and RAILs
Christine Ruffolo The one flaw in the Functional Range Conditioning system is its heavy use of acronyms. It has created a culture of separation, utilizing a language only understood within the context of the FRC group. Starting with CARs and developing into the new Kinstretch IsoMPs, there is no lack of subjective nomenclature. The […]

Christine Ruffolo As examined in my previous post, joint function defines what kind of movements you are prepared to perform. Articular independence must come before articular interdependence. The ability to isolate a particular joint leads to more control, increased awareness, and lessening of pain. Below, Dr. Andreo Spina reveals a corresponding case study: A […]
