Functional Patterns Official

Sprinting is the ultimate form of human movement. All motions you do have a foundation of the functions found in sprinting.

Posture represents your default starting position. If you have imbalances in your posture, they will carry over to every movement you do.

There’s a reason you have to keep stretching more and more to get the same level of relief you once did. Stretching doesn’t solve anything, at most you’ll get some short term relief, but you’ll end up digging yourself a deeper hole of problems.

Virtually every motion you do is rooted in the FP First 4, of Standing, Walking, Running and Throwing. These motions are the most fundamental that humans can learn since they had the biggest impact on the development of the human structure over millions of years.

Fitness influencers are more focused on a marketing pitch than your joint health. It’s why what they offer never actually works.

One of the biggest problems with deep squatting is PASSIVE TIME UNDER TENSION. Sitting in these deep ranges of motion is what ends up overly lengthening your ligaments & tissues around your hips, knees and lower back, & this is exactly what ruins the elastic recoil in your fascia.

Stretching is horrible for your joints. It creates instability and leads to joint pain over time.

Correcting biomechanics and creating more balance in how you move is the most underrated aspect of health.

More range of motion does not automatically = better. There is such a thing as creating too much range of motion which will ruin your joint integrity over time.
