Episode 085 - Dr Andreo Spina: Finding Your Functional Range

In Episode 085, Don and Derek have the pleasure of speaking with functional range and mobility pioneer, Dr. Andreo Spina. Dr. Spina starts off with a discussion around the term ‘mobility’ and how he defines it within his treatment system and his educational courses. He even touches on the approach to his own personal health and fitness. The discussion then jumps to the topic of spine and joint health, as it relates to mobility and stability. Dr. Spina speaks in great depth on the topics of movement and movement screening to maximize health and minimize the potential for injury, and also discusses the importance of addressing and managing pain on both a physical and psychological level.

Dr. Spina holds a Bachelor of Kinesiology degree from McMaster University. He later graduated with summa cum laude and clinic honors from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College as a Doctor of Chiropractic. He then completed a two-year post-graduate fellowship in Sports Sciences. He is the creator of the Functional Range Release (FR)® soft tissue management system, the Functional Range Conditioning (FRC)® mobility development system, and the Kinstretch™ method of movement stretching that are currently used by practitioners worldwide as well as a number of professional sports organizations, athletes, and performers. He is a published author, and international speaker on the topics of joint health, movement and mobility development, sports performance, and injury management.
