CEREBRAL PALSY POSTURE GAINS from HBS practitioner .piestany
8 months relaxed posture progress from my client Ema (15 years old) with cerebral palsy. Left photo: October 2019. Right photo: July 2020. Both pictures are relaxed and uncued postures. Gait cycle videos are coming soon!
Ema’s testimonial: really helps me with my health condition and also with my movement patterns. I would never say that before how can I change my body. It is great improvement for me. My hands aren’t shaking so much like they used to and my back is straighter. I’ve got better control over my body especially my hands. We’ve tried a lot of different training methods but non of them has helped me like FP does. Thank you so much.

STRUCTURAL GAINS from HBS practitioner .russv going from daily lower back and shoulder pain to pain free living. Fantastic work Russ!
"Personal relaxed posture results thanks to
Before: May 2018
My first FP session with .veira -20+ years of traditional weightlifting
-Weekly yoga and static stretching to try to alleviate pain and stiffness -Lower back, shoulder pain and stiffness everyday
-Inability to manage stress and anxiety (as you can see on my face)
-Completely disconnected from nature, little to zero sunlight, heavy artificial light, zero grounding
After: April 2020
-Training 100% functional patterns correctives and dynamic movements. -Zero weightlifting
-Zero yoga or static stretching
-Zero pain
-Increased ability to manage stress with major decreases in anxiety
-Better connection with nature, sunlight and grounding as much as possible

POST HEAD TRAUMA & SCOLIOSIS GAINS! Some fantastic structural gains coming out of from CERTIFIED HBS practitioner .
"Oct 28 2019 > Jan 7 2020 > Mar 13 2020
✅ Improvements in scoliotic curve
✅ Improved joint stacking and scapular positioning
✅ Improved balance and coordination
✅ Improved cognitive function and proprioception
Due to severe head trauma received early last year, training has been a tedious process. Dynamic movement has been all but off the table as her cognitive functions would decline rapidly resulting in dizziness and a loss of balance. The changes seen here have been brought about entirely by the application of correctives (IMAPS) and myofascial release. Training in relation to our biomechanical blueprint targets all systems of the body, including the vestibular system so it’s no surprise to see an improvement in her balance and coordination as we start to ramp up her dynamic movement. Looking forward to continued results from this dedicated client“
>>>Client Testimonial:
“I have seen significant improvement to my coordination, posture and proprioception through Functional Patterns. These sessions have played a key part in my journey to recover my cognitive and physical functions after my injury. Shane is an effective coach with a keen eye and knowledge for movement patterns. I have really enjoyed training with him.”

Great work here by Certified Human Biomechanics Specialist .pennington! Man this is what it's all about right here. This is why we uphold our values in FP. When we respect physics and biology, the "impossible" happens! .
WATCH TILL THE END. We are now running! Since my last post on my client Mike’s gait, we have been putting in consistent work. In the first video Mike struggled a lot with just walking. He was in constant pain and his body jarred in every step. The second video he has much improved stability and a large reduction in his overall daily pain. •
Now Mike is able to not only walk without pain, he can now run. Something he has been unable to do in a decade. After hip replacements and knee surgeries, his doctors said he would never run again. Now look where we are.
All training done here with techniques

SCOLIOSIS AND PAIN FREE GAINS!
・・・
Human Biomechanics Specialist putting in some great work out .kelowna. Awesome to see!
Scoliosis results **Before and after Posture ** All of these results were made from only using techniques .
LEFT ❌ Before: Lisa came to me with scoliosis, back pain, limited coordination and tensegrity
RIGHT ✔️After: Change in scoliosis intrinsically, no back pain or any pain in her shoulder and neck, gaining coordination and tensegrity through dynamic movements again. 👇👇Below is Lisa's testimony 👇👇
⚠️Lisa's testimonial:
"I am so happy to have finally found FP trainer Willie Coetzee at Functional Patterns Kelowna.
I have an idiopathic form of scoliosis that was noticed when I was 17. The medical doctors wanted to put a rod in my spine and fuse it. Physiotherapists had absolutely no idea how to help me. Many chiropractors tried their best but no results would last. Massage felt good but again nothing lasting more than a day.
Acupuncture was great a releasing tension but lacks the re-training, re-tensioning and building of new neural pathways that replace old dysfunctional compensation holding patterns with new functional patterns that respect the way my human body is meant to function. I tried many other mainstream methods of "fitness" but I am now undoing the damage caused by that and correcting my scoliosis at the same time.
I love FP training! Willie is a very knowledgeable, professional, genuine, kind man with a great sense of humor. He makes training fun and I always look forward to it.
I am finally pain free and improving more every session. Huge thank you to Willie and FP!"

FIRST STEPS POST ACCIDENT WITH NO ASSISTANCE!
This is what it's all about, enhancing movement one human at a time. Amazing work from out .kelowna, we are here to !
First steps for Shane since his accident a year and a half ago thanks to .
Before: 10 sessions ago Shane couldn’t walk without his walker or stand without falling over.
After: 10 sessions later only using he is walking on his own for the first time since his accident. Read below to hear what Shane has to say.
“Will Coetzee is a great trainer, Functional Patterns is a phenomenal place. I had L1 break with a spinal cord injury, I’m 18 months post surgery. I was unable to walk when I went to Will and after only 10 sessions with him I’m able to walk small distances on my own with no assistance. The Functional Patterns chambers that Will puts me through are tough but amazing. The exercises are awakening the muscles I haven’t had since my injury occurred. I highly recommend this place for anyone with an injury that’s looking to function better. Thanks for everything Will.”

It's been an amazing watching the result with over the last 3 years. If you guys are looking to get amped up a bit, go to the FP YouTube Channel. If you are local to Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, I have a fully equipped facility here in Durham

Outstanding work by my good friend .alexprice
・・・
First 10 sessions knocked out! Having a really great time working with . He comes to the gym every time with a clear head ready to take on everything we do with enthusiasm and works super hard on applying what he learns into his daily life. It is the growth mindset and hard work that created these results. Ready for even more! Thanks for teaching me how to get such amazing results and help people sustainably reach their goals and get out of pain!!

These are all the concepts I learned how to apply on the body from the courses. They have been game changers for me and my clients

Training that respects our evolutionary blueprint.
Functional Patterns is a methodology that focuses on making bio-mechanical adaptations relevant to human physiology which in turn will create a more sustainable body that has improved capability of responding to stressors in it's environment. It is a very foundational yet radically inventive approach to training the human body.
Our first level of priority is a highly corrective process in which we address posture to establish it as a stable base for movement. The ideal postural position allows resistance to gravity and optimal mechanics in relation to force and levers. This phase alone merits FP uniquely "therapeutic" as it directly translates to a more stable spine and buffers against low back pain, neck pain, etc. Once accomplished, static positions and basic exercises unique to FP will be introduced to "re-tension" key muscles that are dormant in the population especially during certain contexts such as walking.
Finally, we move to more dynamic movements that serve to neurologically and physiologically connect long chains/slings of muscles that are designed to function together such as the AOS (anterior oblique sling) and POS (posterior oblique sling). This is critical because these are the same chains and slings that become disconnected through bad movement strategies and postural habits.
By first prioritizing postural distortions and establishing it as a base for movement, the body then can intrinsically be wired to be resistant to gravity & transfer force in the most leveraged fashion, ensuring a long life of pain free movement.
