Fix the Root Cause of Your Pain

This isn’t another temporary treatment or generic rehab session. At Functional Patterns Melbourne, we assess how your entire body works together, identifying the biomechanical patterns driving your pain and giving you a clear, personalised strategy to correct them.

What’s Included in Your Initial Assessment

Detailed Posture Analysis

We identify compensations, rotations, asymmetries and load imbalances across your muscle chains so you can understand exactly what’s happening in your body.

In-Depth Gait Breakdown

Walking is the foundation of human movement. We analyse your gait in slow motion from multiple angles to show how it may be contributing to pain or dysfunction and explain it in plain English.

Movement Screening

We assess how your rib cage, pelvis, breathing mechanics, foot function and sling systems integrate during walking and running.

Root Cause Identification

Rather than chasing symptoms, we pinpoint why the issue exists. Fewer labels. More clarity. Real direction.

Personalised Correction Plan

You’ll leave with specific starting drills, priorities and next steps. You’ll trial corrective exercises during the session so you know exactly what to focus on.

Education That Actually Makes Sense

We help you understand your body in a way that empowers long-term change, not dependency.

What Makes Functional Patterns Different?

At Functional Patterns Melbourne, we don’t treat isolated muscles. We restore the system.

Our approach is built on the principles developed by Functional Patterns — focusing on how the body truly moves in real life.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • We treat the body as an integrated system, not separate parts

  • We address rib-pelvis alignment and breathing mechanics before layering strength

  • We rebuild proper gait, sequencing as the base of all movement

  • We prioritise balance, stabilit,y and coordinated muscle chains

  • We measure results: if it doesn’t improve posture or reduce pain, we adjust

When you restore the system, symptoms begin resolving naturally.

Melbourne, It’s Time to Do Things Differently

If you’ve tried physio, chiro or standard gym programs without lasting change, it’s probably because no one addressed the underlying movement system.
