Training for Pain Relief
Functional Patterns is training like you’ve never experienced. While other modalities may offer temporary relief, we help you correct underlying muscular, posture, and lifestyle imbalances to address pain at its source.
What would it be like to finally be at ease in your body?
We know how defeating it can feel to try method after method to relieve chronic muscle and joint pain, only to find that the results are short-lived…or that your efforts actually seem to be making things worse.
You don’t want to just keep managing this pain; you’re ready to heal it at the root cause. Functional Patterns is a training and lifestyle system that does just that–making it the last modality you’ll need.
FP strengthens your body according to the foundational human movements – standing, walking, running, and throwing. By training your muscles to work together in these movements, your joints are brought into their most natural and pain-free alignment.
Find lasting relief, move safely at work, and regain the freedom to do the activities you love.

I now have hope that I can heal and get back to the best and strongest version of me.
When I started working with Courtney, I was feeling pretty hopeless about my pain and the dysfunction in my body for the past seven years after having back surgery, especially being a fitness professional myself. I’ve been to so many bodyworkers and doctors for help and always felt dismissed or nothing would help. Courtney is such a great listener, and I always feel supported in our virtual sessions. One year into working with Courtney I feel stronger, and my body moves better than ever.
