We Address Multiple Types of Chronic Pain

Our approach is effective for various types of persistent pain, focusing on the underlying movement patterns that contribute to your discomfort.

Back Pain

From persistent lower back pain to sciatica and disc issues, we address the movement patterns that lead to spinal compression and discomfort.

Neck & Shoulder Pain

Relief from tension, stiffness, and pain in the upper body caused by poor posture, stress, and repetitive movements.

Knee & Hip Pain

Improve joint function and reduce pain by addressing alignment issues and strengthening supporting musculature.

Headaches & Migraines

Many headaches stem from tension and postural issues that our approach effectively addresses at the source.

The Problem with Traditional Pain Management

Most conventional approaches to chronic pain focus on treating symptoms rather than addressing the underlying causes:

  • Medication only masks pain temporarily while often causing side effects
  • Many physical therapy protocols use isolated exercises that don't integrate with real-world movement
  • Surgery carries risks and often doesn't address the movement patterns that caused the pain
  • Generic exercise programs fail to address your unique biomechanical issues

The result? A cycle of temporary relief followed by returning pain, leading to frustration and a sense that you'll never be truly free from discomfort.

The Functional Patterns Solution

Our approach is fundamentally different because we focus on how your body is designed to move naturally:

  • We analyze your unique movement patterns to identify the root causes of your pain
  • Our training corrects fundamental movements like standing, walking, running, and throwing
  • We integrate your entire body rather than treating isolated areas
  • Your program evolves as you progress, ensuring continued improvement

The result is not just temporary relief, but a lasting transformation in how you move, reducing or eliminating pain while improving your overall function in daily life.

Our Approach to Pain Relief

A systematic, progressive methodology that goes beyond symptom management to create lasting change.

1

Comprehensive Assessment

We begin with a thorough evaluation of your movement patterns, posture, and pain history to identify the underlying biomechanical issues contributing to your discomfort.

2

Personalized Program Design

Based on your assessment, we create a customized training program that addresses your specific movement dysfunctions and gradually builds better patterns.

3

Movement Re-education

Through guided practice, you'll learn to move correctly, developing new neural pathways that make efficient, pain-free movement automatic rather than forced.

4

Progressive Integration

As your movement improves, we systematically integrate these new patterns into more complex movements and real-world activities for lasting change.

"After years of debilitating back pain from sitting at a desk, I'd tried everything—chiropractors, physical therapy, even cortisone injections. Three months with Todd, and I'm pain-free for the first time in a decade. His approach makes so much sense—fix how you move, not just where it hurts."

"I was living with constant hip pain after having my second child. After two months of functional patterns training, I'm not only pain-free but actually stronger than I was before pregnancy. I can play with my kids without worrying about pain flare-ups, and that's priceless."

"My scoliosis had gotten so bad that doctors were recommending surgery. After just one month with the Functional Patterns approach, my curve improved from 57 to 41 degrees. It's been six months now, and I'm doing things I never thought would be possible for me. The pain that was once constant is now just a memory."

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our approach to chronic pain relief.

While both approaches aim to address pain and improve function, Functional Patterns takes a more holistic, movement-based approach. Physical therapy typically focuses on isolated exercises for specific pain areas, while Functional Patterns looks at your entire movement system, correcting the underlying dysfunctions that may be causing problems throughout the body. We focus on how humans are designed to move naturally—standing, walking, running, and throwing—to create lasting pain relief and improved function.

Many clients report feeling some level of relief after their very first session, often experiencing immediate improvements in posture, breathing, and movement quality. However, creating lasting change typically requires consistent practice. Most people notice significant pain reduction within 4-8 weeks of regular training. The exact timeline depends on your specific condition, how long you've had pain, and your consistency with the program.

For beginners, very minimal equipment is needed. Most of the initial work focuses on bodyweight movements, postural corrections, and movement pattern retraining. As you progress, we might incorporate simple tools like resistance bands or stability balls, but we always work with what you have available. The focus is on quality of movement rather than fancy equipment.

Absolutely not. Our approach works well as a complement to medical care. We encourage you to continue working with your healthcare providers and keep them informed about your progress with our program. Many of our clients find that Functional Patterns training enhances the benefits they receive from other treatments.

Functional Patterns has shown excellent results for most musculoskeletal pain conditions, including back pain, neck pain, shoulder issues, hip dysfunction, knee problems, and general postural issues. It's also beneficial for many who suffer from fibromyalgia, arthritis, and pain related to neurological conditions. However, each situation is unique, which is why we begin with a comprehensive assessment to determine if our approach is right for you.
