Functional Patterns is incredible because it allows absolutely anyone, in any condition, to train in a way that benefits their structure, posture, coordination & reduces chronic pain.

Functional Patterns is a movement system that focuses on improving human biomechanics and movement patterns. It is designed to help individuals achieve optimal human function and performance by addressing the root causes of pain, dysfunction, and limitations in movement.

The system was developed by Naudi Aguilar. He founded Functional Patterns with the goal of creating a holistic approach to human movement that integrates strength training, corrective exercise, and movement techniques from various disciplines.

The Functional Patterns system is based on the idea that the human body is a complex, interconnected system that requires a comprehensive approach to training and conditioning. The system is designed to address the following principles:

1. Biomechanics: The way in which the body moves and functions is critical to achieving optimal human performance. Functional Patterns focuses on improving biomechanics by addressing imbalances, weaknesses, and limitations in movement.

2. Posture: Posture is an essential aspect of functional movement. The system emphasizes the importance of maintaining good posture and alignment throughout all movements.

3. Breathing: Breathing is crucial to the body's ability to function optimally. Functional Patterns teaches individuals how to use breathing techniques to improve performance and reduce stress.

4. Movement: Movement is the foundation of the Functional Patterns system. Functional Patterns training incorporates a variety of techniques, including resistance training, corrective exercises, and movement patterns. The goal is to create a comprehensive approach to movement that addresses the root causes of pain and dysfunction and helps individuals achieve optimal human function and performance based on our biomechanical blueprint.

Tackle Your Health Holistically.

Functional Patterns addresses you as a whole individual. We like to think of your health needs as pebbles that require delicate stacking. If one is slightly out, your tower will be structurally unsound and keep toppling over. We help you to carefully stack your movements (the structure of your tower), your mentality around health, your diet, your rehabilitation and much more. This is what produces such outstanding results in our practice.

correct your Daily patterns.

The fact is, the way you move on a daily basis adds up. Continually walking, exercising, running, breathing and moving even just slightly wrong leads to massive issues as time passes.

As the name suggests, Functional Patterns works by swapping out dysfunctional movement patterns with functional ones. Not only does this stop pain but it also makes fat-loss and muscle gain far easier as your body begins to function efficiently!

Create Truly Functional Muscle.

Want all gain, no pain? Functional patterns is for those playing the long game.

It's for the ambitious lot who want to be playing sport in their 80's. It's for those who don't want to be off for years of their life with injury after injury. It's for the broken ones who have written themselves off because everything just makes the pain worse. Functional Patterns is the longterm solution to longterm gains. Period. A toned, lean body should not have to cost you your health.

Corrective Exercise

This is the part where we program new software into the body. Poor postural habits that we exhibit daily in all different kinds of scenarios must be replaced by efficient sequencing of the body, which we generally see mostly in the ‘core’, the pelvis and the ribcage. These corrective exercises give us a base to work of once it comes to the more complicated and dynamic motions.

For more examples of correct exercises, you can checkout:

Chambers

These high level exercises aim to create sequences of motion that replicate an efficient gait cycle. They are extremely neuro-myo-fascially taxing on the body, which is why the corrective exercises are so important beforehand.

Chambers play a massive role in the unparalleled and complex results we are able to achieve.

Dynamic multi-planar exercise

This is what you will see a lot of if you are to look up Functional Patterns Practitioners on social media. These motions aren’t just aimed at getting a sweat on; they are specific to the dysfunctions that you exhibit in your gait cycle and/or activity you’re looking to perform.
