Foot Restoration Program FAQUpdated 11 days ago

General Questions Answered


What is the Foot Restoration Program (FRP)?

The Foot Restoration Program is a 12-week training and education program designed to restore natural foot function, improve mobility and balance, and reduce common foot and ankle issues. It combines education, progressive exercises, and walking practices to address the root causes of dysfunction rather than just symptoms.

Who is the FRP designed for?

The program is for anyone experiencing foot discomfort, pain, or limitations in movement. Whether you’re dealing with plantar fasciitis, bunions, flat feet, high arches, or simply want stronger, healthier feet, the FRP provides a structured and supportive pathway. It’s suitable for all ages and fitness levels.

How long does the program take to complete?

The standard program runs for 12 weeks:

  • Phase 1 (Weeks 1–6): 2–4 hours per week

  • Phase 2 (Weeks 7–12): 3–6 hours per week

    Progress depends on your consistency, starting point, and goals. Some participants notice changes within 4–6 weeks, while others benefit from repeating or extending beyond 12 weeks.



Specific FAQs


1. I have a specific condition, will this help?

The FRP is designed to restore natural foot function, which often helps improve or resolve common foot and ankle issues. However, every case is unique and other factors may need to be addressed.

👉 For specific conditions or diagnoses, we recommend pairing the program with support from our Explorer Community or booking with a TFC Health Professional through our Pro Directory



2. Do I need any physical tools?

No tools are required — the FRP has been designed to be fully accessible.

That said, simple tools can make the journey easier and more enjoyable:

You can also explore our full range of tools to complement your practice.


3. What is the time commitment?

On average:

  • Phase 1 (6 weeks): 2–4 hours per week
  • Phase 2 (6 weeks): 3–6 hours per week

This includes:

  • Daily activities (20–45 minutes)
  • Exercise tutorials (15–20 minutes)
  • Walking sessions (5–30 minutes)
  • Optional audio lessons or bonus modules

The program follows a flexible 5-day structure (Mon–Fri) with built-in rest days, and gradually increases in volume over time.


4. Will the FRP be broken up into specific conditions?

No. The FRP focuses on restoring natural foot function holistically rather than tailoring to individual diagnoses. This approach has been shown to improve a wide range of conditions.

5. What is the FADI and why do we use it?

The Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI) is a validated questionnaire that measures how much your foot and ankle symptoms affect everyday activities like walking, standing, stairs, and sport. It turns your experience into clear, trackable scores rather than relying on vague impressions.

We use the FADI in the Foot Restoration Program to:

  • Measure change over time

    You complete it at Week 1, Week 6, and Week 12 so we can see how your scores shift as you move through the program.

  • Ground our guarantee in data

    If you ask for a refund, we use your FADI scores alongside your training and activity logs to confirm whether there has been meaningful change. This keeps the guarantee fair and evidence-based for both you and TFC.

  • Improve the program for future customers

    Aggregated, anonymised FADI data helps us see what is working, which parts of the program drive the biggest improvements, and where we need to adjust content.


6. How does the use of the FADI help you understand your pain and progress?

Using the FADI means:

  • You get objective feedback on your progress, not just a gut feeling about whether your feet are better.
  • You have clear evidence to support a refund request if you complete the program and do not see improvement.
  • Your data (stored securely and anonymously) helps us continually refine the FRP, so the program you join keeps getting better over time.


7. What is the money-back guarantee?

If you complete the program and don’t notice any improvements, we’ll refund you in full. We may ask for feedback so we can continue to improve the FRP, but the guarantee is risk-free based on programs being completed in full as detailed below.


8. What data do I need to submit to get a refund?

To request a refund under the FRP guarantee, participants complete progress questionnaires based on the Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI).

This involves:

  • Tracking pain levels and daily activity (walking + training) within the App throughout the program
  • Self-assessments at Week 1, Week 6, and Week 12
  • Providing age and gender for anonymised reporting
  • Provide a brief written summary of why you didn’t see any improvements

Data is collected securely in the TFC App. No personal details are ever shared publicly. The purpose is to measure effectiveness and improve the program while ensuring your privacy.
