About Functional Patterns The Future of Human Health and Fitness... is Now The
conceptual framework of Functional Patterns was first established in 2009 by CEO
and Founder Naudi Aguilar. The notion of training in relation to an organism's
biological characteristics was borne out of this framework, and after stringent
testing and diligent research, the Functional Patterns methodology was created.
Drawing from anthropology, kinesiology, biology, sociology, physiology and more
— Functional Patterns has taken an integrative approach its practice since
inception. With the launch of the Power of Posture in 2013, the online spread of
the Functional Patterns system of training saw tremendous growth. Bringing in
people from around the world, thousands of individuals sought training to
address their imbalances and learn how to move better by exceeding the standard
practices of the time. Since then, nearly five hundred people have been
certified in the FP training system spanning every continent, with thousands
more using our 10 Week Online Course from the comfort of their homes to great
benefit. The combined effect this education has had on the fitness industry has
been a shift in the physical training landscape towards exercises and program
designs that incorporate more unilateral, rotational, and contralateral
movements. The mission of Functional Patterns has been to level the playing
field, so to speak, between the small proportion of highly-skilled movers and
the majority of what's been referred to as "Average Jane's/Joe's". We have taken
on the arduous task of codifying the human blueprint of biomechanical movement
to bridge this divide — reformulating the human body's affective movement
capabilities to access kinesthetic intelligence beyond the supposed "innate"
inclinations of an individual's movement capacities. In laymen's terms, we've
made it so any human can enjoy the benefits of FP regardless of skill level or
knowledge. This push for accessibility is a hallmark of our training system,
breaking down complicated subject matter for the everyday person to utilize and
improve upon in their daily lives. We bring symmetry and muscular balance to
people enabling them to move better, look better, and feel less pain on a
general basis. Through the economization of movement, Functional Patterns is
making our mission a reality, evidenced by the numerous results that FP
practitioners have developed in themselves and their clients across the globe.
And this is just the beginning... With the accumulating case studies of clients
and practitioners, the academic research being conducted into FP, and the
everyday people who employ our practice daily, Functional Patterns is becoming
the new industry standard of human health and fitness. Ultimately, the future we
want is one of health, regeneration, and sustainability. The power to bring
about this future is with all of us.
