Client Results

Functional Patterns helps people from all backgrounds to be more athletic and sustainable.

The first step to resolving pain is understanding it.

We understand that most pain and discomfort comes from compensation and dysfunction in the way you move. That is why our first step is posture and gait analysis.

Our approach to resolving pain and increasing athletes stems from optimizing the “first four” (standing, walking, running, throwing). This involves reprograming your body to move and function in a way that respects the unique design of our biology.

Our clients find that fixing their mechanics and solving problems becomes much more enjoyable because they finally have the right tools to do so.

See how our clients have unlocked their potential with functional training…

Testimony

“I am one of fp.whitebearlake’s biggest fans. I found them just over a year ago when I searched “functional exercise” online. Finding fp.whitebearlake and Functional Patterns has been life changing.

I had always been active, skiing, swimming, biking, hiking, and riding horses, but at 54 my posture was failing, and my joints were feeling weak and vulnerable to injury.

For me, FP is more than a training system, it is a healing modality. Now at 55, I feel the strongest I have ever felt, and have a renewed sense of power and ease in my everyday life.

I have sent many clients and friends to fp.whitebearlake, and they all love it as much I do. I highly, highly recommend Functional Patterns for anyone that wants to live powerfully and pain free.”

Testimony


“I’ve been working with fp.whitebearlake for about 2 years. Before we started working together movement was painful and difficult for me and as a result my motivation to move and exercise was low.


Over time I’ve made significant progress and my alignment continues to improve, I can move and exercise with much less discomfort and I enjoy working out for the first time in many years. The practitioners are experts at pushing my boundaries while being conscious of always doing so in a safe manner.

For me, the best part of working together is that we have fun.

I would encourage anyone to take up Functional Patterns and know while it can take some time, if you have patience and put in effort, you will see incredible results and your quality of life will improve considerably.” - John

CHRONIC PAIN, MULTIPLE DISC HERNIATIONS & SURGERY

BEFORE

❌Herniated L5-S1 twice with Discectomy
❌Chronic pain for 5 years ❌Sagging shoulders ❌Compressed spine ❌Scapular winging

BEFORE AFTER

AFTER

✅Pain Free
✅Decompressed Spine
✅Decompressed shoulder girdle
✅Reduced scapular winging ✅Increased muscle mass

Ryan found functional.patterns on Youtube after herniating his L5-S1 disc for the second time:

Herniated the same disc twice, once after discectomy

5 years attempting chiropractic, massage, physical therapy, and surgery but nothing relieved pain long-term.

Chronic pain and poor quality of life left him feeling defeated

Testimony

“I herniated my L5-S1 twice and had a discectomy the first time I herniated it.

I seemed to be recovering fine after the surgery but herniated it for the second time a year later. I was in chronic pain for 5 years after having the second herniation. I tried all sorts of different approaches to address my pain including exercise, yoga, physical therapy, chiropractic, and massage therapy.


I realized the surgery only fixed the symptom that resulted from moving poorly over time and that I would need to get to the root of my problem by fixing the way I move.

Eventually I found Functional Patterns and after several months of applying the concepts, I started waking up without the chronic pain I thought I would live with forever.

Over the next year, I still had to be very intentional on how I lived and trained so that I didn’t have set backs. Today my body is very resilient and I don’t have pain after running or jumping which would have put me out of commission for weeks prior to applying Functional Patterns.” - Ryan Parr

BEFORE AFTER

Bernadette found @fpwhitebearlake after diagnosis of low back disc herniation.

She came in dealing with:

Major disc herniation in low back, resulted in walking with a drop foot.

3 years attempting chiropractic work, massage, and multiple personal trainers, but nothing relieved the pain long-term.

Poor quality of life left her exhausted

Testimony

“When I found fp.whitebearlake my main goal was simply not to re-injure myself–I never expected to actually have all of my pain disappear!

We started training slowly, with a mix of foundational movements. As I gained mobility and strength, the exercises increased in intensity.

Every single training session was different; the practitioners always come prepared with new exercises and readily makes adjustments based on my progress.


The practitioners really took the time to understand my goals and tailor a training program that feels very personal. After just a few months of working together, my severe back and hip pain completely disappeared.

Thanks to fp.whitebearlake, I now know what to do on my own at home to help maintain a healthy, pain-free lifestyle!”
