STRENGTH TRAINING PROGRAM

One on one personal training with a certified Functional Patterns trainer.

REHABILITATION AND STRENGTH

We have all experienced trauma in one form or another, and aging results in a gradual loss of hydration in our bodies. In order to re-hydrate our tissues, slow the aging process, and recover from injury or trauma, we present a combination of self-myofascial release and corrective exercise techniques.

FOR ALL AGES AND SKILL LEVELS

People from all ages and capabilities have experienced success with this methodology. The best results have been achieved by enhancing the training through eliminating foods and activities that can delay the healing process.

ATHLETIC PHYSICAL CONDITIONING

After teaching the body to move more fluidly and hold more structural integrity through foundational strength training, we guide you towards further athleticism and sports optimization with advanced gait-based techniques, dynamic exercise, sprinting and throwing instruction.

ADDRESS THE SYSTEM, NOT THE SYMPTOMS

YOUR FIRST STEP

POSTURE AND GAIT ASSESSMENT

We observe together how your body shows up in space standing and walking, and will help you acclimate to the self propelled treadmill. This initial step in the training process is very important, because it highlights the areas of your body that may demonstrate compensation patterns. Having knowledge of where improvement is needed, is part of what makes this methodology so effective.

BOOK A CONSULTATION

How long does it take to experience results?

Many people experience pain relief and report a noticeable difference in how their bodies feel within the first few sessions. Our ultimate goal is to re-orient your body's structure in a way that supports better standing, walking, running and throwing. This is an ongoing process that can bring about life-changing results.
What is a typical training schedule?

Our clients train anywhere from 1-4 times per week. In order to access our discounted rates through our pre-paid package options, we require a minimum attendance of one session per week. For more information on our price structure, see the rates and cancellation policy at the bottom of any page of this site.
How do I get started?

The first step is scheduling a free call or booking an initial consultation. As part of that first session we will review the various rate and scheduling options.
How do I practice at home?

We strongly encourage developing a home practice to compliment your in person sessions. This does not need to be expensive and a home setup can be arranged with minimal equipment purchases. The myofascial release techniques we teach can be done using a few different sized balls or rollers and the exercises we employ can be done with bodyweight, some resistance bands, and dumbbells.
Do I need to change my diet?

In order to improve posture we spend time triangulating the core through coordinating activation of the abdominal wall, gluts, and back muscles. For reduced inflammation and more ease in engaging this musculature, we suggest eliminating or reducing to the best of your ability the consumption of gluten, grains, nuts and seed oils. These eliminations also aid in body fat reduction.
Is Functional Patterns a fitness training program or rehabilitation?

Functional Patterns is both fitness training and rehabilitation in one program. Our specialists take the time to help you improve your posture and quality of movement to help you reduce your risk of injury, build strength, and optimize your health.
What is the biomechanics movement protocol?

Just as we recommend eliminating foods that can obstruct proper function of our core musculature, we suggest eliminating activities that can aggravate pain and may be contributing to faulty movement patterns. While it can be difficult to admit that some of the activities we love to participate in may be hurting us, removing these activities to give our bodies the time they need to heal can be crucial in this process. Our goal is to provide you with techniques which prompt your body to align with more integrity. Our clients have found they are able to meet, or often exceed their health and fitness goals with less effort when focusing on their biomechanics and movement efficiency.
