Approach

At Functional Patterns Dublin, we don’t focus on the symptoms

Instead, we focus on improving and optimising the entire system of the body so that pain and injury become a thing of the past

At Functional Patterns Dublin, we specialise in posture and movement re-training, identifying why your body moves the way it does, and correcting the patterns that keep pulling you out of alignment.

Typical approaches:

• Reduce pain
• Improve mobility or strength
• Cue better posture
• Provide exercises

Our approach:

• Identify the movement patterns causing the posture
• Change how the body moves
• Re-test posture and gait
• Aim for changes that are long lasting

We do a postural assessment and gait analysis (via slow motion video) to get both static and dynamic views of your body in order to determine the root causes of any movement issues. Once we have established where improvements can be made, we will create an individualised training plan.

In our training we use myofascial release (self-massage) techniques to prime the body for better integration, corrective exercises as tools to create good anchors of tension and stability in different parts of the body, and dynamic movements to integrate the body during motion.

To achieve the best results possible, it is hugely important that clients who attend us are open to becoming students and learning how the body was designed to function. Our aim is to educate people on the principles of the human body and guide them through the restructuring process.

Our work is best suited to people who:

• Have tried physio, chiro, or exercise without long lasting results
• Want measurable improvements. not just symptom relief
• Are willing to work and retrain how they move day to day

We are not a good fit if you are looking for a passive treatment or a quick fix.

The Finer Details

What is done outside of training sessions can also have a big impact on the outcome people can achieve while using our training. We consider important factors such as nutrition, sleep, circadian rhythm, activity levels, stress and much more. Gathering a comprehensive background of how you live day to day allows us to get information on as many aspects of your life as possible, and to account for variables that are often ignored.
