Quick takeaways

  • Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) and KinStretch improve mobility and joint capacity through controlled exercises.
  • Using isometrics and eccentric contractions can gradually improve range of motion and build stability at end ranges.

Deep dives

Functional Range Conditioning is a system that focuses on improving active range of motion and joint capacity.

Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) and KinStretch are practices that target active range of motion and joint capacity. FRC uses exercises like Controlled Articular Rotations (CARS) to take joints through their full range of motion, improving mobility and control. KinStretch is a group setting that builds upon FRC principles to teach people how to move well. These systems emphasize the importance of using isometrics and eccentric contractions to gradually improve range of motion and build stability at end ranges.
