Functional Restoration Therapy (FRT) is designed to help individuals regain the ability to perform daily tasks by improving both physical and psychological resilience. This approach integrates physical conditioning with cognitive-behavioral techniques to manage pain and restore function, particularly for those with chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Key components of FRT include endurance exercises, flexibility routines, and strength training aimed at reducing pain and enhancing mobility. Unlike conventional therapies, FRT addresses mental factors such as pain perception, stress, and fear of movement, empowering patients to engage fully in rehabilitation. By targeting the root causes of functional limitations, FRT fosters independence, helping patients reintegrate into their communities with improved quality of life.
