About Us
We Are Functional Patterns Chattanooga
Our mission is to help you heal chronic joint and muscle pain at their source so you can feel strong, confident and free in your body. As the only certified Functional Patterns Training facility in Tennessee, we are honored to serve greater Chattanooga with training that offers truly life-changing results.
Our Philosophy
Train according to human biology
Chronic muscle and joint pain is typically a symptom of poor posture and a lack of functional strength. Like all animals, our bodies have evolved over millions of years to be perfectly suited to the movements that allow us to flourish in our environment. For humans, these are: standing, walking, running and throwing. By strengthening your body in these foundational movements, FP exercises bring your muscles and joints into their most natural and efficient alignment.
Create a regenerative environment
In modern society, we are exposed to artificial lighting, processed food and constant stimulation that disturbs our biological functions. By eliminating sources of inflammation through conscious lifestyle choices, we can support our bodies’ innate ability to heal. We offer lifestyle guidance to accelerate the results of your training and support your best health.
Lasting results are built from within
The current experience you have in your body is a cumulation of years of movement patterns and lifestyle habits. Therefore, when other modalities try to offer a “quick fix” to pain, it comes back because the underlying patterns haven’t been addressed. We teach you how to release restrictions and gradually build up strength to shift how your body moves as a system. This approach frees you from being dependent on practitioners for temporary relief and gets you strong, coordinated, looking better and living without pain for the long-run.
