Empower and assist patients to return to work, improve their quality of life, decrease dependence on medication and health providers, and avoid recurrent injuries by increasing physical capacity to the highest level possible through Functional Restoration.
FRIUS was established in 1983 as an alternative to the typical chronic pain management programs available at that time. While these programs were effective in helping patients cope with chronic pain, they did not provide measurable improvement in function, medication management or help with returning patients to productivity. The FRIUS program was established to provide a sports medicine method for treating people with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
FRIUS’ novel approach to chronic pain, known as Functional Restoration, is a medically directed, interdisciplinary treatment, that emphasizes measurement, mobilization, and re-activation and supported by education, counseling and stress management. It was the first comprehensive Functional Restoration program in the world and has received many awards throughout its years of service (See Awards and Accreditation)
FRIUS’ in-house staff of physicians includes board-certified specialists in orthopedics, physical medicine, rehabilitation, psychiatry, and pain management. FRIUS clinical treatment team includes nurses, nurse practitioners, psychologists, counselors, physical and occupational therapists, exercise techs and case managers. Since 1983, FRIUS has been helping injured workers getting back to life and work!
FRIUS works with all patients to “Conquer Pain thru Function” so that patients can return to work and/or improve their quality of life. Through careful assessment and directed rehabilitation, a patient is capable of experiencing a whole new way of life.
