Gray Functional Training

You can find the best Gray Functional Training, visit at Prep Performance Center in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Gray Functional Training is a physical therapy method coined by the Gray Institute. It incorporates Applied Functional Science (AFS), which is based upon proven scientific truth, rather than theory. AFS is a term used to match the best, most effective physical therapy techniques (supported by scientific research) to an individual recovering from a certain condition. At PREP Performance Center we implement AFS in the creation of all our treatment plans. If you are looking for a Chicago physical therapy practice, request an appointment today.

Gray Functional Training analyzes the ways in which physical sciences impact biological sciences, in order to provide patients with the best possible treatment plan. Physical sciences refer to the effects the world has on us, such as gravity, mass, and momentum. Biological sciences refer to our bodies and how they respond to the physical sciences, such as our motion, balance, stability, reaction, and proprioceptors. The goal of Gray Functional Training is to focus and improve upon the “Success, Encouragement, Locus of Control, Empowerment, Relevance, and Significance” of the biological sciences.

This all takes into account the Gray Institute’s Principle-Strategy-Technique Process. This refers to the “why” of movement (principles), the “what” of movement (techniques), and the “how” of movement (strategies). When designing a treatment plan, it is important to consider every “why,” “what,” and “how,” determining how physical sciences and biological sciences factor into each one.
