GAIT GAINS
"When Joe first came to me, running was painful due to sciatica and lower back issues caused by maladaptive movement patterns. Using @functionalpatterns techniques, we focused on resetting his biomechanics and addressing the root cause.
The progress is undeniable—he’s gone from struggling with every step to running smoothly and pain-free. There’s still more unfolding, but the results are already here, and everything is aligning as it should, day by day.

Drafted by Hoops SF—took less money but made the right choice. Did it for the love of the game and the group of killers in this league. Playoffs are here, and I already see what needs fixing. Season’s not over. Let’s tighten up.

In our house, we aren’t just building another athlete, we are building a different kind of athlete.
The game is played in millimeters, and we want Ellie to feel every one of them. We focus on keeping her structure together and finding the right sensation as she moves. It’s not just about getting from point A to point B, it’s about having the intention to move correctly.
We are building her Contextual Memory. By exposing her to these patterns now, her brain learns to recognize the "pull" and exposes her to feeling integrated. We want her to own those sensations so that when the game speeds up, her body already knows it.

For the posterior chain combo work.

From Ellie to Elite Ellie 📈
In the first video, you can see Ellie’s foot turning out. This was a habit that will "leak" her power. When the foot turns out like that, the glutes don't work right for what we what to achieve. This has been leading to knee and back pain for Ellies case .
In the second video, Ellie is being intentional. She is focused on keeping her foot straight so her hips do the work. We are still working on it, but she is learning to control her movement.
Why this is a win:
Using the Glutes: Now her big muscles are working. This protects her knees and back from getting hurt.
No Wasted Energy: She isn't losing power anymore. She moves with more "snap."
Better Stamina: Since she isn't wasting energy, she can play hard until the very end.
This is the Functional Patterns way. I want kids to be aware of how they move so they can feel the thrill of sport—feeling fast, powerful, and built to last!

Building the Future of Movement
Starting kids on Functional Patterns early isn't just about sports, it's about survival in a sedentary world. By prioritizing gait training now, we are hardwiring their biomechanics before dysfunctional habits take root.
Move Better: We focus on the Big Four to ensure their movement is integrated and efficient from the ground up.
Build the Foundation: It is much easier to optimize a child's structural integrity now than to undo decades of damage later in life.
The Long Game: We’re not just building athletes; we’re bulletproofing these kids for a lifetime of pain-free movement.
The blueprint starts here. #FunctionalPatterns #GaitTraining #Biomechanics #YouthDevelopment #fpkids
