When Darell walked into @projectfunction.santamonica in March 2024, he was facing what seemed like insurmountable challenges. After multiple back surgeries, he was falling frequently due to his deteriorated gait. THE REALITY: ❌L4-L5 fusion + 9 months in a back brace = stuck in posterior pelvic tilt ❌Cervical disc replacement = upper back, neck & shoulder complications ❌Recent diagnoses: Mild MS, Lyme disease, and mold illness ❌Zero core connection, no pelvic mobility, severe inflammation ❌Cognitive fog so thick that “the lights were on but no one was home” THE BREAKTHROUGH: He immediately implemented our FP training and nutrition protocol to tackle his dysfunctions and inflammation at its root. Within months, everything began to shift... THE TRANSFORMATION: 🔥 Complete elimination of pain levels 🔥 Restored ability to anteriorly tilt his pelvis 🔥 Massive postural improvements 🔥 Dramatically improved balance (no more falls!) 🔥 Strong core connection established 🔥 Crystal clear cognitive function 🔥 Can now process 4-5 corrections simultaneously without breakdown This is what happens when you address the WHOLE person, not just symptoms, but the underlying inflammation and movement patterns that create lasting change. Your body has an incredible capacity to heal when given the right tools. 💪 Great work here by @_joe__greco_ and Darrell #functionalpatterns #fpisthestandard #projectfunction #posture #functionaltraining multiplesclerosis lymedisease cognition

@projectfunction.santamonica member Darrell Meirs started his journey in March 2024 after multiple back surgeries and an MS diagnosis. Since then, he’s become a staple @projectfunction.santamonica and we’re proud to have him as one of our very first Project Function members. Through intermittent one-on-one sessions with @_joe__greco_ along with consistently using the Project Function technology on his own, Darrell has been able to maintain his balance and coordination far more effectively than he experienced through traditional methods. Great work, Darrell!! #functionalpatterns #fpisthestandard #fpresults #posturecorrection #projectfunctionsantamonica

Most people don’t realize how much posture can influence how you feel on a daily basis. When the body loses the ability to organize itself efficiently during movement, you start seeing compensations everywhere: • Rounded posture • Hip shifting • Uneven shoulders • Chronic stiffness and tension • Reduced energy and resilience Jaihoon originally came in dealing with severe kyphosis, lordosis, a right hip hike, and stiffness through his shoulders and lower back, especially during bending and overhead movement. Since improving his movement and overall coordination, he’s experienced: • Improved spinal and hip alignment • Reduced stiffness • Better sleep quality • Lower anxiety levels • Increased physical and mental resilience • No longer relying on caffeine daily People around him have even commented that he appears taller now. These changes go far beyond aesthetics. When the body starts moving better, posture, energy levels, confidence, and overall quality of life can begin changing too.

Mindset, behaviour and posture. You can’t come in and not “think” about how you’re moving. You can’t come in and train for an hour and hope it gets rid of all your sloppy patterns. The more imbalanced the body is, the harder the brain has to work, the harder the central nervous system has to function in order to try and work around a dysfunctional body with dysfunctional facial layers and dysfunctional bone formations. The body is so interconnected and intertwined. Cognitive decline can contribute to poor posture as poor posture can contribute to cognitive decline. So process what you learn in the gym. The reward is a mindset that gets you out of pain. #scoliosis functionalpattern #fpisthestandard #fpresults #painfree #projectfunctionsantamonica

Whether it’s our current or past selves, many of us know what it’s like to wear ourselves out in the gym chasing sweat, calories burned, elevated heart rates, or pointless weightlifting PRs. While we may hit certain goals, we need to question: what’s the point? One of my biggest takeaways from @functionalpatterns has been gaining a clearer reference point for what matters most. The North Star is negentropy: creating better order and structure, and in doing so, supporting regeneration. In other words, is what you are doing helping things function better and more efficiently, or is it simply adding more wear and tear? And this is not just about physical training. It is a useful framework for thinking about every aspect of life. I am still working on this myself, but having that reference point makes decision making a lot easier. In this clip, my client Bart explains that in the past he could grind through 30 reps without much thought. But when you are accounting for your structure, correcting dysfunction, and getting multiple muscle groups to work together properly, five high-quality reps are far more challenging and more productive. Additionally, Functional Patterns is not just about what happens during your workout. It is about how you live. Bart talks about how the workouts he used to do felt separate from the physical demands of his real life. He was not thinking about how the way he trained related to construction, carpentry, and everything else he needed to do each day. That has changed significantly for him, and it has helped him address longstanding pain, move more efficiently at work, and continue making progress. If you want results you need focused time working on corrective exercises. But lasting change happens when you carry those principles into everything you do. How do you stand at the gas pump? How do you wait in line at the grocery store? How do you position yourself while working, walking, and lifting? How do you communicate? Are you entertaining abstractions? (Read: The Tyranny of Words) FP requires more of you; And if you engage fully in the process, the rewards are much greater as well. #functionalpatterns

Client Results (Larry, 56 y/o): Before photos: February 2024 After photos: May 2025 I’ve dealt with chronic low back pain since the early 1990s. In 2012, I herniated my L3-L4 and L4-L5 discs with 5mm herniations on the right side. For years, I struggled with constant pain, stiffness, and nerve symptoms that significantly limited my quality of life. Before starting Functional Patterns in February 2024, I had what felt like a constant knot in my right glute for nearly two years, along with nerve pain running down my right leg. Eventually, the pain also began affecting my left leg. Car rides longer than 45 minutes became extremely difficult, I couldn’t lift anything remotely heavy, and running or participating in sports was out of the question. The pain was always present — typically around a 3–4 daily, but flare-ups could reach a 6–7 or higher. At one point, I couldn’t even complete the drive from Austin to Houston due to the pain. After about two months of FP, most of the nerve pain was gone. Since then, the focus has been on retraining my body and muscles to function properly again. For the most part, I can now push myself relatively hard without fear of major flare-ups, and I’m able to handle demanding tasks around the house again. The improvements have been significant: • Posterior right hip and glute stiffness/nerve pain: from a 4–5 down to a 1–2 • Low back pain: from a 5–6 down to a 1–2 • Nerve pain: previously a 7–8 at its worst, now mostly gone or only a mild awareness • Upper thoracic spine mobility: dramatically improved • Knee pain: now hardly noticeable • Neck stiffness: significantly improved At 56 years old, I can confidently say my body feels worlds better than it did before starting FP.

Most people are being told to just lift weights and build strength. And yes, strength matters. But if your posture and movement mechanics are off, piling more strength on top of dysfunction can sometimes reinforce the same issues that got you into pain in the first place. At Project Function Vegas, we focus on helping people improve the way they move first. Better posture. Better alignment. Better coordination through walking, running, and everyday movement. Once the body starts moving better, strength training becomes much more effective and sustainable. Before 🔴 Anterior pelvic shift 🔴 Ribcage imbalance 🔴 Winging shoulder blades 🔴 Spinal protrusion 🔴 Muscle atrophy 🔴 Ongoing low back pain and fear around movement 🔴 8/10 pain After ✅ Improved posture and body alignment ✅ Better ribcage and pelvis positioning ✅ Improved shoulder integration ✅ More lean muscle mass ✅ Moving with more confidence ✅ 0/10 pain When you improve how your body moves, everything starts to change. If you’re in Las Vegas and ready to get started, send us a DM or call/text (702) 789-7741 to book your free consult.

I see too many people give up on themselves, whether it’s because of age or feeling intimidated by the work ahead. They settle for living in pain. They settle for relationships that don’t encourage each other to improve. They accept atrophy instead of fighting it. And then they look for quick fixes to make up for work they never did. This work isn’t easy. It can be frustrating when progress feels slow and there’s no immediate reward. But when people actually stick with it, and yes that means years, the payoff is massive. And the best part? The results don’t just fade. You establish a foundation and then you build on top of it. You develop a resiliency that doesn’t crumble at the first sign of stress. So don’t give up on yourself. Especially if you’re older. Too many people in their middle age and beyond believe it’s too late and that all they can do is cope. That’s not true. If you don’t believe it, look at @fp.evidence or scroll down this page. You’ll see people in later decades making real progress, even into their 90s. Keep going. Shoutout to some of my clients shown in this video, and everyone else putting in persistent, smart work. Thank you for not giving up. It’s an example we need more of our family and community members to see. #functionalpatterns

Ak sa jedná o optimalizáciu idiopatickej skoliózy, existuje veľké množstvo tréningových prístupov, ktoré sa snažia určitým spôsobom pristúpiť k tejto genetickej a pohybovej dysfuncií. Kde však zlyhávajú? Príliš veľa sa zameriavajú na krivú a vyosenú chrbticu, no zabúdajú pritom na to najpodstatnejšie a tým je optimalizácia pohybového prejavu ako takého. Tu je najväčší a najzásadnejší rozdiel medzi @functionalpatterns a konkurenciou. Kým konkurencia rieši symptómy, my vo FP pristupujeme k telu ako k systému, ktorý má mať určitú pohybovú efektivitu. Ak spojíte optimalizáciu státia, chôdze, behu a hodu so špecifickými korekciami zohľadnujúce idiopatickú skoliózu, dostanete recept na regeneráciu ľudského organizmu vo forme o akej sa zbytku fitness, fyzio-rehab, prehab priemyslu ani len nesníva. Naše výsledky ukazujú príbeh, ktorý hovorí sám za seba! @theleverking @functionalpatterns @projectfunction #functionalpatterns #scoliosis #piestany #slovakia #fppiestany
