Stop chasing end ranges. Build the capacity to use

Are you building useful capacity, or simply chasing more range at the expense of areas that don’t need to be lengthened further?

Your body is an interconnected system that relies on coordinated movement, length-tension relationships and the ability to distribute force throughout the myofascial system.

Your joints also work together through reciprocal movements to help distribute forces efficiently throughout the body.
That’s why we focus on mechanics that improve your ability to stand, walk, run and throw.

Your training doesn’t have to look exactly like these activities but it should respect the biology behind them.

Don’t just chase range. Build the capacity to control and use it.

If you’re trying to fix forward head posture by just pushing your neck backwards into a block, you’re looking at the problem far too locally.

You can end up creating more compression through the cervical joints without addressing why the head is forward in the first place.

The neck doesn’t exist in isolation
We need to look and integrate other structures at the feet, pelvis, glutes, core, ribcage and thoracic spine and how they all influence the position of the head.

Rather than forcing the head backwards, we want to build a system where the head can actually balance on top of the body.

Here I’m using the functioneck to integrate my neck with the rest of my body.

Don’t just force the head into position. Build the structure that allows it to balance

An arbitrary exercise like this might help temporarily relieve some tension or make someone feel better.
But is it going to fundamentally change how you move?
Probably not.

The problem is that these exercises are often prescribed without being grounded in solid first principles.

You need a system that gives you a framework for understanding why you’re using an exercise — rather than simply collecting more exercises.

At Functional Patterns, we look at posture through 3 key pillars:
The glutes.
The core.
The thoracic spine.
These aren’t isolated components. They need to work together to help create a body that can stabilise, transfer force and adapt to movement.

And ultimately, the goal isn’t just to have someone look like they have better posture standing still.
It’s to improve their capacity to:
Stand.
Walk.
Run.
Throw.

Because posture isn’t just a position.
It’s the foundation from which we move.
This is the type of framework we teach in our 10-Week Online Course — giving you a system built around solid first principles, rather than a collection of random exercises.

Stop searching for the magic exercise.
Start understanding the system.

More range ≠ better movement.

A large range of motion can be beneficial but simply pushing a joint further and further into end range, especially under load, doesn’t necessarily mean we’re improving movement quality.

The body is a system.
When you force one joint into an extreme position without considering how the rest of the body is contributing including the spine, pelvis, ribcage and neighbouring joints you may gain movement at one location while sacrificing stability or control somewhere else.

The question shouldn’t just be:
“How much range can I get?”
But:
“Can I access that range while maintaining control and integrating the rest of the body?”
This is one reason the Leverage King can be such a useful tool.
Rather than simply forcing a joint into a position, it allows us to work on strength, control and leverage through different ranges of motion, while encouraging the body to coordinate as a system.
The goal isn’t just to have more range.
It’s to develop the ability to control and utilise that range.

Heel striking, forefoot striking all have relevance. Gait is a coordinated interaction (reciprocation) between many joints such as the ankle, knee, hip, pelvis, spine and trunk that manage forces adapting to the environment.

At FP, we take a multifaceted approach to addressing biomechanics rather than trying to reduce movement problems down to a single joint, muscle or foot position.
The question isn’t simply “Are you heel striking?”
It’s “Why are you moving the way you’re moving, and how well is the entire system dealing with it?”

CHRONIC HIP PAIN, BE GONE !

Dannelly first came to FP Brisbane in July 2024. She was suffering from excruciating hip pain that often kept her up at night and would reluctantly take painkillers to ease the discomfort. She had been diagnosed with hypermobility by an orthopaedic doctor and had been wearing orthotics for over two years.
Dannelly also experienced poor core recruitment due to abdominal separation from pregnancy. Unsurprisingly, her hip issues affected the rest of her body—causing neck stiffness and a general sense of unease when moving or performing everyday tasks, such as walking to the train station.
Her pain limited her ability to engage in activities she once enjoyed, like jogging and playing netball. Despite this, Dannelly showed an enthusiastic attitude and a strong willingness to learn from day one. She has been an absolute pleasure to train.

Progress Overview

Before: July 2024

❌ 9/10 hip pain
❌ Neck stiffness
❌ Poor core recruitment
❌ Dependent on painkillers
❌ Unable to run
❌ Reliant on orthotics

After: April 2025

✅ Zero hip pain
✅ Minimal to no neck stiffness
✅ Able to run (current top speed: 16 kph)
✅ Stronger core muscles
✅ No longer using orthotics
✅ No painkillers
✅ Improved hip stability
✅ Improved leg and arm drive
✅ Enhanced thoracic and pelvic rotation
✅ Returned to sports and is enjoying them again

After dealing for years with pain and away from sports activities due getting injured easily. I have been twice in physiotherapy. While it offered improvement, everytime I tried to go back to any physical activities just got injured again and again. Thanks to Aman, I feel stronger, there is massive improvement with the pain, reduced to a minimum. After 6 months of doing FP, I have been able to go back to exercising and undertaking sports again with great success in a sustainable and progressive way. He also helped my husband and my daughter with their posture. Highly recommended!

UNCUED RELAXED POSTURAL RESULTS

Katie is an active individual who has engaged in a variety of activities over the years, including CrossFit, Pilates, and touch football. Throughout this time, she has suffered from an extensive list of injuries, including ACL, PCL, and MCL tears in her knee.

Her primary concern has been the shoulder and neck pain she’s been dealing with for the past nine years, with the pain typically ranging from 2-3/10 and escalating to 6-7/10 when aggravated. She has bursitis in her left shoulder, with pain radiating up to her neck, and has received cortisone injections to help alleviate the pain, though these provided only short-term relief.

In addition to practicing Pilates, Katie regularly received dry needling and massages to help manage her symptoms. Katie began training with me online in April, and after eight sessions over just under three months, she has made substantial postural improvements, with visible improvements in stacking and muscle definition in her neck and shoulders.

Her pain has also been completely eliminated, currently sitting at 0/10.

Before: April 2024
❌ Shoulder depression Scapular winging Anterior tilting of scapulas
❌ No Serratus/rhomboid upper/mid/lower trap engagement
❌ Constant Baseline pain 2-3/10 when aggrevated 6-7/10 Pain also radiating into neck

After: June 2024

✅ Scapular elevation Definition in Lower/mid/upper traps
✅ Serratus/rhomboids recruited to hold scaps onto ribcage with better stability
✅ No Shoulder and neck pain sitting at a 0/10
✅ Ribcage expansion to support shoulders and neck ✅ Improved ribcage and pelvis stacking

Katies testimonial:
“Cannot recommend Aman enough. I have had shoulder pain for 9 years, which I have seen numerous practitioners for. Until Aman, I was receiving symptom management which gave me short term relief, but wasn’t addressing the root cause. Aman has helped me identify and address weaknesses to improve my posture, and I am now pain free”

Thanks to for providing a system that changes lives

Do your shoulders look like they do below ?

The solution isn’t just to pull your shoulder blades back

Don’t get me wrong they do need to come back in some sense

But only when you create the conditions for them to do so

The shoulders cannot set on a structure that has no room for them to move

What’s that structure ?

Ribcage

If your ribs are compressed and lacking expansion they will not allow the shoulders to move freely as the shoulders follow the ribs

What’s the best place to start addressing this ?

Functional Patterns

Rather than looking for short term fixes,
Put in the work to achieve longer lasting results

We help you optimise the big four

Standing posture, walking, running and throwing
