Our Process For Natural Posture Correction

At Functional Patterns, we follow a structured and effective process to correct posture:

  • Initial Consultation: In a 90-minute session, your posture specialist will assess your gait, posture, diet, and lifestyle. Gait analysis is crucial as it reveals how misalignments in movement affect your posture.

    A diet assessment helps address bloating, which can drastically impact your posture. A proper diet also plays a crucial role in building fresh muscle and tissue where you need it.

  • Weekly Sessions: We conduct 60-minute weekly sessions to target asymmetries and weaknesses found in the gait cycle. These sessions focus on rebalancing the body and improving movement patterns.

  • Your Result: As your body balances and integrates these patterns, your posture will naturally improve, leading to relief from any associated chronic pain.

Matt Says:

“Before starting FP I was in chronic pain from head to toe on the left side of my body and had suffered constant headaches for most of my adult life.

Not only was it the physical pain, but it was taking a toll mentally - causing low mood, irritability and not being able to concentrate or think straight. Performing the simplest of tasks was becoming a real struggle in my work and family life.

After multiple physiotherapy and remedial massage appointments I was left angry and frustrated when I realised my pain was not getting any better, with no hope in sight. That’s when I found @functionalpatterns.

After 8 months training with Jen I can now move better, with more tension in my body and I’m completely pain free. Mentally I feel great now and at 35 years old this is the best I’ve ever felt in my life. Starting with FP has been a life saver- thank you Jen and @fp_brisbane

Why See Our Spine and Posture Specialists

Do you suffer from neck pain, chronic pain, stiff muscles and joints or impaired range of motion?

We can trace each of these symptoms back to poor posture. Bad posture causes you to over-work your neck muscles during daily activities. This leads to neck pain and even headaches/migraines.

Poor posture also affects your core muscles. Many people know that weak core muscles can lead to poor posture. Did you know that it can also go the other way around? Many people spend hours in the gym working on their core muscles but simply cannot feel them activating.

This is because we need proper alignment of the human body to activated our core muscles correctly.

Conditions We Commonly Treat

  • Externally rotated shoulders are usually a compensation for poor rib-cage position and a lack of rotational control through the thoracic spine. Instead of trying to “pull them back,” we restore ribcage mechanics and trunk rotation so the shoulders sit neutral without force.

  • Knee or lumbar hyperextension happens when the posterior chain isn’t doing its job. We focus on re-integrating the glutes, hamstrings, and lower abdominal system so the joints stop locking out as a stability strategy.

  • Tight glutes aren’t usually short — they’re overworking because the pelvis is unstable. Instead of stretching the symptom, we correct pelvic rotation, hip extension mechanics, and gait sequencing so the glutes relax naturally.

  • Most people extend through their lower back instead of their hip. We retrain glute-driven hip extension within gait, helping the pelvis move smoothly without overloading the lumbar spine or quads.

  • Adductors aren’t just “inner thigh muscles” — they stabilise rotation of the pelvis. We integrate adductors into gait so they work with the glutes, not against them. No machine-based isolation needed.

  • Clicking hips or joints usually indicate timing issues in the pelvis. We identify whether the click comes from rotation faults, lack of glute tension, or poor sequencing — then correct the movement pattern.

  • Tight traps are rarely a trap problem — they compensate for rib-cage collapse or neck instability. Instead of stretching, we rebuild rib position, core integration, and shoulder mechanics so traps stop overworking.

  • Vertigo often worsens when the head and neck aren’t aligned with the ribcage and pelvis. We improve balance through integrated movement patterns, reducing vestibular irritation from poor posture.
