What Can We Do For You?
Transform Your Posture.
Poor posture is both the result and cause of poor biomechanics. Let us interrupt the cycle and change the way you stand, sit, look, feel and live. Postural transformation is not easy, but Functional Patterns Atlanta is renowned for our ability to completely realign posture at a structural level.
Gain Muscle & Lose Fat.
Changing your body composition is no easy task. Reducing inflammation and improving biomechanics plays a crucial role in losing stubborn fat and allowing the body to gain lean, functional muscle mass. We also stimulate lymphatic drainage through correct movement which boosts fat-loss.

OUR RESULTS
Case Study.
Tom Makes Full Recovery After Car Accident + Multiple Back Surgeries
“I’ve worked with the trainers at Functional Patterns Atlanta for approximately 8 months following multiple back surgeries after a car accident in June 2015. With their help I’ve been able to re-tension/rebalance my body and am feeling/moving better than I have in years. I am back to playing tennis, golf, running, etc and functional patterns continues to be a daily part of my workout/mfr regimen. I plan to continue on the FP journey for many years to come!”
Amanda Improved Chronic Arthritis Pain, Posture, and Muscle Tone
“I feel I am making an investment in preventative care. Instead of having to chase problems with visits to an orthopedist, physical therapist, massage therapist, or chiropractor, I feel that at Functional Patterns Atlanta, they are helping me reverse problems and prevent new ones from occurring. I also feel that other gyms and methods led to me toward greater dysfunction, although they were well-intended. The difference is the knowledge level, deep understanding, and overall philosophy Michael, Jacob and Blake have and share with clients. It makes me have faith in the process because it makes sense and has demonstrable results. The training is extremely challenging and is a serious mental, physical, and psychological workout.”

What People Are Saying
“Best thing I’ve ever done for my body! My CrossFit/weightlifting background, in addition to a childhood injury, left me with chronic upper and lower back/hip pain, which led to countless physical therapy visits, dry needling, X-rays, and chiropractic adjustments… all this time I just wish I had found FP sooner.”
— Angie Vargas, Verified Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I play tennis all the time and I was starting to have all kinds of pain. Torn meniscus, peroneal tendinitis, knee pain/swelling, hip pain, SI joint pain….It was a game of whack-a-mole with my physical therapist. I was spending a few hours a day doing PT exercises to try to recover but was always battling pain… Well now I’ve put my ice packs into storage! I finally tried FP and am finally without pain. If anything starts creeping up, the guys at FP ATL are able to figure out where my movement patters have gone wrong and address the issue. I’m more powerful on the tennis court and excited that I can play tennis pain free now!”
— Calley Willis, Verified Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“If you are on the fence about Functional Patterns, I highly recommend taking the leap and getting started. As someone with scoliosis and consistent, sometimes debilitating lower back issues and neck pain, I can tell you without a doubt that FP has made a huge difference in my life. When I arrived at FP ATL I was in pain every day. I started feeling better after only a couple of weeks. You have to put in the work and be consistent. It’s definitely not easy but it is SO worth it!”

“Before starting with FP I would experience a lot of pain in my knees and lower back from doing my job and taking part in other physical activities. Nowadays, however, I am pain free and can complete my work in a more efficient manner. I am also more selective in which types of activities I take part in. My breathing has also dramatically improved as before I found the compression in my ribcage and chest region restricted my ability to breathe in. In conclusion, I would say that FP has helped me to move pain free both in my work and in everyday life.”

FAQs
-
Previous experience is not necessary, you just need to have an interest in fixing and improving your body.
-
It took many years and a lot of stimulus to get your body to this point. Much of that stimulus being of the incorrect kind (in relation to human biology) creating muscle and joint imbalances.
Reversing these imbalances while instilling new patterns can take some time and is different for every body.
While some experience rapid relief of symptoms in just a few sessions, others will need several months of consistent practice to start reversing the consequences of long-term movement imbalances.
You can maximize your results by practicing the homework and lifestyle modifications assigned to you by your practitioner.
-
Losing or gaining weight are both governed by many factors. Genetics, work/life balance, environment, stress response, sleep cycle and your training regime. At FP we promote optimisation of all of these things coupled with biomechanics to lose weight.
Functional Patterns encourages highly nutritious, anti-inflammatory foods in appropriate quantities. We also encourage adequate protein intake which can work wonders for body recomposition and satiety long after meals. There are various blogs on Functional Patterns main site that cover the topic of diet and how to utilise the tool to optimise the function of your digestive system and your biomechanics.
We provide all of our clients with a Diet Protocol booklet specifically crafted for Functional Patterns Atlanta to take all of the guess work out of the process.

Yes, once you’ve laid the tracks for fundamentally sound movement, you can use FP principles to put on muscle mass.
The major benefit of putting on muscle mass using FP is that you will enhance mobility, athleticism, and good posture while doing so.
Also, because you will be building muscle that coincides more directly with how your body moves every day - you will find that you don’t lose muscle as easily during times that you aren’t able to train as consistently. Instead you can just enjoy your time off of training.
