Functional Restoration Program
The Functional Restoration Program (FRP) is a rehabilitation program provided by the Spine Center for chronic spine pain sufferers that aims to increase physical functioning, improve pain-coping skills, promote the return to a productive lifestyle at home or at work, and limit the need for future spine treatments.
