The Functional Reactivation Programme (FRP) is for clients whose pain has persisted for more than six weeks.
The programme addresses key pain-related disability factors using a physical reactivation approach to help clients manage a return to independent functioning at work and at home.
What is involved?
FRP comprises an individualized programme of exercise, activity and education that incorporates a self management approach and addresses:
- Limitations in physical function
- Graded exposure to specific movements/exercise
- Fear of movement and activity
- Teaching of pacing skills, realistic goal setting and problem solving skills
- The provision of information about persistent pain problems and contributing factors, and
- Monitors and supervises client exercise and activity
The programme may include an additional worksite visit component if required
Our experienced clinicians are able to design a programme for the client at home, in the community or in a gym environment.
A multidisciplinary approach will be used to design an individualised programme with the client following liaison with other health professionals working with the client and considering the client’s functional difficulties and goals.
