I have a specific condition, will the FRP help?Updated 18 days ago

Quick Answer

The Foot Restoration Program (FRP) is designed to improve natural foot function, mobility, and strength. Whilst many people with common foot and ankle issues have found this program helpful and have seen improvements, it is important to work alongside a trusted health professional if you have a diagnosis or are in pain. 

The program also uses the Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI) - a validated outcome measure - to help you track your progress over time.


What You Need to Know

  • The FRP is not a medical treatment but a foot health training program.
  • It includes the FADI self-assessment, so you can measure functional improvements and see progress objectively.
  • It can help with common problems related to weakness, stiffness, or poor function.
  • Results depend on your individual condition/diagnosis, history, and overall health.
  • If you have a specific diagnosis, it’s best to get tailored support from a TFC Professional or your healthcare provider.


Step-by-Step Guidance

  1. Start with the FRP to build stronger, more mobile feet.
  2. Complete the FADI self-assessment at the beginning, halfway through (6-weeks) and end of the program (12-weeks) to track progress.
  3. Listen to your body - progress gradually, and modify exercises as needed.
  4. Join the Explorer Community to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from others on the same journey.
  5. Seek individualised guidance from a TFC Pro or your health professional, if you want expert support or have concerns about your condition.


FAQs & Common Issues

Q: Can the FRP cure my condition?
A: The FRP is not a medical treatment. Its goal is to restore natural function, which may reduce symptoms or support recovery. Outcomes will vary with each individual.

Q: What if my condition gets worse when I start?
A: Some mild discomfort is normal as your feet adjust to new exercises, however, if pain persists or worsens, pause the program immediately and consult a professional.

Q: Can I do the FRP alongside medical treatment?
A: Yes. The foot restoration program can complement professional care by improving baseline strength, mobility, and balance. If you are unsure whether or not to partake in the FRP, consult with a trusted health practitioner before getting started.
