Take A Look At Some Case Studies
Case Study - 5 month scoliosis and cognitive transformation
Oct 28 2019 > Jan 7 2020 > March 13 2020
✅ Improvements in scoliotic curve
✅ Improved joint stacking and scapular positioning
✅ Improved balance and coordination
✅ Improved cognitive function and proprioception
Due to severe head trauma received early last year, training @melissathewong has been a tedious process. Dynamic movement has been all but off the table as her cognitive functions would decline rapidly resulting in dizziness and a loss of balance.
The changes seen here have been brought about entirely by the application of @functionalpatterns correctives (IMAPS) and myofascial release. Training in relation to our biomechanical blueprint targets all systems of the body, including the vestibular system so it’s no surprise to see an improvement in her balance and coordination as we start to ramp up her dynamic movement. Looking forward to continued results from this dedicated client.
What Does Melissa Have To Say?
“I have seen significant improvement to my coordination, posture and proprioception through Functional Patterns. These sessions have played a key part in my journey to recover my cognitive and physical functions after my injury.

Case Study - Straighten Scoliosis Naturally After Post-Surgery Relapse
✅ Improvements in scoliotic curve
✅ Decompressed lumbar
✅ Improved hip positioning
✅ Decreased Pain
✅ Improved head position
✅ Improved quality of life and sleep
✅ Improved Symmetry
Courtney had a 50 degree curve T6-T11 before having spinal fusion in 2002 via thoracotomy, bringing the curve to 7 degrees. A second curve developed in 2018 from T5-L2 of 40 degrees which can be seen in the photo on the left. With a steel rod in the thoracic spine, there is a limitation to what we are able to do. Nevertheless, her quality of life is improving along with the structure of her spine as it comes closer to neutral. Moreover, the changes that she is implementing to get these results are surgery-free and majorly reduce the risk of another curve appearing in the future. This is why it is SO important to address the underlying course and structure and avoid surgical bandaids when it comes to scoliosis.
How Does Courtney Feel About This?
“I have been training... for 6 months now to help with my scoliosis pain. I’ve had significantly reduced levels of pain and a visibly straighter back. I look forward to making more improvements as we continue. Excellent trainer, I highly recommend Functional Patterns for anyone wanting to improve their lives ”
Straightening a Spine From A-Z (What Training With Functional Patterns Atlanta Looks Like)
Discuss.
First - you will have a discussion on the phone with one of our professionals or client advocates.
During this call you will discuss a brief history of your condition, your goals and availability. From this information, we will match you with one of our Biomechanics Specialists. You can meet the entire team here. Each and every specialist in the clinic is trained in Human Biomechanics and has extensive experience working with and significantly improving scoliosis in our clients.
Assess & Plan.
Your first session will be 90 minutes long.
Our comprehensive initial consult involves a gait and/or activity assessment, where we analyse your gait cycle in slow motion and highlight dysfunctions present. This is a crucial part of the appointment as it enables us to tailor a program that suits your body and not just a cookie cutter approach. Following this, we will take you through myofascial release techniques that may help you to get on top of any dysfunctions we have pointed out. Specific postural correctives, chambers and dynamic exercises may follow depending on how your body handles each level of exercise.
Execute.
What Happens After My First Session?
So you have completed your initial assessment and session, what now? Your Biomechanics Instructor will discuss their recommendations while taking into consideration your unique situation and their assessment findings. Although estimating the duration of improvement of scoliosis can be like predicting the length of string, we do know that the more time you are able to spend doing your Functional Patterns training, the faster you will make progress. Most protocols include 2-3 60 minute sessions per week alongside homework. You can also include some group classes to practice your fundamentals.
Following your initial consult, we will continue to build on the techniques you learned through chambers, correctives and dynamic exercise. As gait cycle results are our number one metric to objectively track your progress, we will usually take video footage again of your running/sprinting or your specific activity during these sessions. Throughout your sessions, we will work on breaking down the dysfunctions that lead to your scoliosis and pain while building new, functional patterns. This will result in a dramatic decrease in pain and an improvement in spinal alignment - while also improving movement, agility, strength, posture, aesthetic and overall quality of life.
Get Your Result.
Finally, The Result!
Our goal is to get you an incredible result. Our entire business and methodology is based around noticeably straightening spines and decreasing pain to the point where people cannot ignore the work we do. If you want to change your life and be our next result, get in touch and start your incredible journey with Functional Patterns Atlanta.
Exercises for people with scoliosis
In order to begin to naturally straighten a scoliosis, you will need to activate the muscles that have deactivated due to the curve. As you can imagine; as your spine pulls in one direction, the muscles pull to that side, disengaging important muscles that are supposed to be keeping your spine in alignment.
Although Functional Patterns cannot be explained in a couple of sentences, the basic premise involves the activation of necessary muscles through the use of functional movement. Reactivating these muscles can take some time. However, with the help of an experienced Functional Patterns practitioner, you should be able to be assisted into positions during exercise that will switch your muscles back on. Once you begin to feel these muscles again while training, you will begin to notice more symmetry in your structure and less pain.
While everybody is different, this has been the experience of many people who have given Functional Patterns a chance. We have helped many people avoid spinal surgery by straightening their spines naturally.
