FRC With The Experts

The FRC technique allows a single cast to be used throughout the treatment episode. It is adjustable, minimal where possible and unlike typical Casting practice has research evidence and development in clinical practice to support its use. The technique was investigated and researched and introduced to the UK by Anne Petty and Chris Wardman, TEACH Directors. Training and the underpinning education for the modern practitioner is an imperative. This course is both practical and theoretical and allows for beginners to the technique as well as those wishing to advance their practice.
