We take a step by step approach to help you get out of pain and better understand how to improve your body mechanics. Building muscle that addresses your dysfunctions so that you can move efficiently and powerfully is exactly what you can expect from our training.
Functional Patterns is a fitness training program unlike any other. Other programs focus on short-term improvements in muscle tone or size. What’s worse is that they can also cause pain and possibly irreversible damage.
Our program is scientifically based and focused on overall health and the results are long-lasting. FP improves the way you move and gets to the source of your problems so that you can continue to workout for a lifetime.
Learning how to move pain free doesn't have to be a journey filled with technical terms and back breaking work. The techniques in our programs will teach your muscles to work for you and not against you. By improving your posture and muscle imbalances you will learn to move efficiently from the comfort of your home.
Faqs
No, we have all kinds of people getting great results with our course. We do however suggest that if you have any pre-exisiting issues that you do seek medical advice before commencing the course.
The simple answer is that if you are human, FP is for you. We focus on getting you to optimize the precision of the First Four movement patterns, i.e. standing, walking, running, and throwing. No matter who you are or what your age or fitness level is, you will be doing these things as long as you are alive. So, doesn’t it make sense to learn how to do them well so that you can avoid injuries and live a life free of pain? The 10-week course is precisely the program that teaches you how to do this in easy, bite size pieces.
The tools required to complete the 10-week course include:
Assorted balls for myofascial release Dumbbells Thera-Cane PVC Pipe (foam roller progression) Varied Resistance Bands Many of the tools can be substituted with other items if needed. Feel free to get creative. You can also join our Facebook group Functional Patterns Doers https://www.facebook.com/groups/976359545741281 to see how others have gone about it.
We recommend spending 1 hour per training session working on the 10 week course. It is advised to train using the course material at least 3-5 times per week. You are welcome to train daily if your body is up to it, but you are also encouraged to take time to recover as needed
The beauty of FP programs is that they can be combined with any other exercise regimen, including workouts at the gym. So, yes - we’re all for you getting a good sweat session so long as you are employing good mechanics and movement that will not grind away at your joints and tendons. And doing our courses will teach how to do that and also boost your performance in all kinds of other physical activities you take on. But first and foremost, if you want to stay active in nature, in the gym, and in life in general you want to make sure you are taking the correct steps to ensure your body functions properly when moving.
At FP, we like to say that fitness is the result of good movement. Meaning if you can move properly and develop skills such as actively engaged standing posture and good mechanics for walking, running, and throwing then this will carry over to allow you to develop real, explosive strength and stamina in natural ways that will apply to everything you do in life. With consistent practice, you will definitely become fit, strong, and lean, especially if proper nutrition is part of your health and fitness regimen.
Most definitely. Your ability to build and maintain muscle is directly related to how well you move. In order to move well, your muscles need to function in an integrated fashion with one another. By learning proper mechanics, you will engrain functional patterns of movement into your body so that you can build and maintain muscles that serve specific purpose that relates to your biological blueprint as a human, especially when you stand, walk, run, and throw – which you will do your entire life!
Have you ever wondered why you gained the extra body fat in the first place? Here at FP, we believe that the reason people pack on pounds or kilos is because you’re not moving well to begin with. If you are a well-functioning and moving individual to start with then your body would crave the right amount of nutritious foods instead of wanting to overload on whatever types of foods you can get a hold of. This is why we think that how you move may be more important that what you eat in order to drop body fat. Put simply, if your body isn’t primed to move well in order to help metabolize and make use of what you eat your body will have to work overtime to process food. By bettering your biomechanics and learning how to move functionally while also eating nutritious foods, you will have a better chance of dropping body fat and keeping it off. Not to mention that moving correctly and efficiently enables you to exercise more and with less risk of pains and injury.
Most injuries stem from bad biomechanics that result in imbalances and weaknesses in certain parts of the body which then leads to restricted range of motion and mobility. When one part atrophies and becomes underused, another part compensates for it and becomes overused. This imbalance leaves you more prone to injury. This FP course will give you an understanding of proper mechanics so that you can address the root cause of your issues and re-program your body to engage and bring unused parts online to function in a more balanced way. The effectiveness of our programs explains why physical therapists see the value of our program and recommend it to their patients all the time.
