Functional Patterns doesn’t only focus on what you do inside the gym but also outside in your daily life. Functional Patterns approach to health extends beyond the training. It is a balance of how you move, your diet, stress levels, and sun exposure to name a few.

When you optimise your life to prioritise your health needs, this can help you to achieve extraordinary results.

Our human biomechanics specialists identify the issues you have in your body like no other. We do so by analysing your mechanics while you move at your top speed.

This removes all “purposeful’ movement and highlights the dysfunctions and chain reaction it can cause to other areas in the body - the true root cause of your pain.

The way we move every day adds up. Any dysfunctions in our daily movements from walking to running, breathing, standing, sitting, and the rest dial in certain patterns that the body defaults and holds on to. A lot of these patterns are not as optimal as they could be and what may seem minor now, leads to larger impacts later.

We address these dysfunctional or asymmetrical patterns in the body and replace them with more functional movement patterns that not only help you move better but stop pain and improve weight loss and muscle gain.

Want to gain truly functional muscle mass without pains or strains?

Having a toned body shouldn’t leave you feeling stiff, rigid, or be sacrificed by injury along the way. We can help you build muscle functionally by addressing the body as one integrated system rather than focusing on individual muscle groups in isolation. This allows you to not only look and feel better but move better while saving time and money.

Functional Patterns is a long-term solution. We want to help our clients retain physical independence long into their 80s and 90s.

First, we assess your static posture and conduct a gait cycle analysis. During the gait cycle analysis, you will walk or run on a treadmill, and the practitioner captures the movement in slow motion to evaluate the biomechanics of their gait.

Static posture pictures help to identify any areas of the body where there may be an imbalance, such as a forward head posture, a rounded back, or uneven hips. These imbalances can contribute to pain, injury, and reduced performance.

Self-myofascial release (SMR) is a self-massage technique that involves applying pressure to the body’s myofascial tissues using tools like a PVC pipe or massage balls. This helps to release muscle tension, improve range of motion, and reduce pain and stiffness.

It’s important to implement proper technique as guided by a practitioner to continue the release at home.

The application of IMAPS (integrative muscle active potentials) Is what sets FP apart from other fitness systems.

IMAPS involves slow and controlled movements, often using a pulley machine, with the goal of replicating the movement sequencing of great athletes or movers into our clients. The best way to understand it is to experience it. A fundamental basis of movement is often required before being able to execute an IMAP.

This is probably the most common form of exercise you have seen on our social media channels. These exercises aim to target the specific dysfunctions present in your gait cycle as well as getting your sweat on.
