During your first 10 sessions or so, you will be learning new movements and techniques that will most likely feel completely foreign to you.
We will be focusing greatly on ratios, coordination and muscle tension.
Every movement you do will be heavily queued, meaning you will be moving slowly through motions while your biomechanics specialist tells you very specific adjustments that they want you to make throughout the course of each movement.
These include tilting, shifting and rotating to turn on the correct muscles and to ensure as much symmetry and safety as possible.
After about 10 sessions or so you’ll likely have a firm grasp on the concepts and an improved mind-body connection.
At this point, you’ll have a colorful repertoire of exercises and strategies under your belt.
You’ll be feeling much more connection within your body and as a result, you’ll be more coordinated and confident with your workouts and daily movements.
It will also be a lot easier to respond to queues and you’ll have a better understanding of the terms we use to describe your body moving in space.
At this point, momentum will take hold and things should be coming together.
You’ll eventually begin to notice changes in you health, posture, movement and pain.
At Cleveland Biomechanics, we are all about results.
From the minute you step in the door, we assume that it is only a matter of time before you achieve an incredible before and after result.
In fact, getting a jaw-dropping result is just another part of our standard process.
We don’t just change posture and fix chronic pain.
You can expect to see changes in your body composition, mindset, stress-management, dietary choices, muscle tone and much more - IF you put in the work.
Most of the Functional Patterns results you see have taken 3 months to 3 years to achieve.
The fact is, the time is going to pass anyways.
In the next couple of years will you be thanking yourself for making massive, functional changes… or will you be wishing you had done something?
Functional Patterns gets incredible results by addressing systems rather than symptoms.
You may come to us with a painful shoulder and slumped posture, but that isn’t what we see.
We look at the many factors that got you to that point and we start strategically rewinding the clock to pre-dysfunction times.
This image illustrates the primary things we target with you every day, week and month to get you feeling vibrant, robust and functional.
People who get the best results with Functional Patterns truly immerse themselves in the protocol and the experience.
Functional Patterns is extremely holistic, and people find that removing various other therapies, where possible, to focus on their Functional Patterns Protocol works the best.
We will address your nutrition, stress, mindset, rehabilitation and exercise all at the same time.
Most people think it's motivation that will get themselves to their desired goals, when in reality, motivation is a temporary dopamine rush that burns out fast.
It is discipline that will get you to where you want to go in life.
Discipline and being consistent is how you can maximize your results with Functional Patterns.

Prior to beginning the FP 10 week online course I struggled with daily hip, shoulder and hernia pain. Within 3 weeks of performing the recommended myofascial release techniques my pain levels had dropped to a 3/10. The main reason that my pain was not eliminated was due to the fact that I continued to train in a hybrid style, using mainly CrossFit sprinkled in with FP. Once I began integrating the FP movements into my daily training (2023) my pain levels dropped to 0. I started to focus on my severe anterior pelvic tilt and my daily lower back pain went from 4-6 to 0. I have also seen a tremendous improvement in the kyphosis that I had developed after years of olympic weightlifting. I had consistently been cued shoulders down and back throughout my athletic training which led to scapular winging. Since beginning FP I have a more integrated upper back with improved scapular mobility and integration.
I was also a highly anxious and depressed individual who suffered with severe daily IBS before integrating many of the FP protocols into my life. I struggled with sleep and would often drink 2-4 cups of coffee per day to “push through”. When I stopped drinking coffee, training 5-7 days a week and simply prioritized recovery, rest, and training my dysfunctions I noticed my stress levels started dropping and my IBS issues have nearly been eliminated.
