1 year progress with Juliana
100% virtual training
Both pictures are fully relaxed

Before:
❌ Constant back pain 6/10 with frequent flare ups to 8/10 preventing her from working
❌ Frequent migraines (minimum once per month) with 10/10 pain leaving her bedridden
❌ Frequent spasming of right lung during physical activity, preventing her from being able to breathe and leading to her passing out on the field

After:
✅ Back pain is now 0/10
✅ Zero migraines 
✅ Able to sprint and play sports with zero breathing issues

Juliana came in with chronic pain for over a decade. Diagnosed with scoliosis at age 12, she saw her curvature get worse year after year. She eventually had to give up playing sports due to pain, limitations breathing, and chronic migraines. She dedicated herself to learning Functional Patterns, and after one year of training virtually, she is now pain free, back to playing sports, and her scoliosis has greatly improved.

➡️ Improved scoliosis
➡️ Improved scapular positioning
➡️ Cervical spine decompression
➡️ Improved abdominal support

From Juliana:

“Prior to starting training with Functional Patterns, I had been in chronic pain for over 10 years. I was diagnosed with moderate scoliosis at age 12, and my yearly x-rays looked worse every year. I had weekly migraines and couldn’t breathe well enough to run or play sports. I’ve now been training with FP for about a year, and my life is completely changed. I can take a full breath, run a mile comfortably, and am playing sports again. I no longer have migraines or daily pain. I’m so much happier and healthier than I had been years, and so thankful to have found this training!”

Great work, !

Scoliosis Improvements with Jordan
100% Virtual training
July 2023 - February 2024, relaxed postures

Jordan came in with debilitating pain due to puberty-onset scoliosis. By age 16 she was told by a top back specialist at Children’s Hospital that her only option was to to have surgery, inserting a metal rod down her entire spine to prevent it from getting worse. She tried chiropractics and six different physical therapists with not results. She lived in constant pain reported at a 7 out of 10 pain level with frequent days flaring up to 9 out of 10 and causing her to be completely bedridden. She committed herself fully to Functional Patterns and after seven months she is now pain free most days with the lowest levels of pain she has experienced in six years. She has decreased her scoliosis curvature from 43 degrees to 35 degrees and we continue to make progress every week.

Testimonial from Jordan’s mom, Jodi:
“Jonathan has helped our teen daughter, Jordan with her scoliosis. His knowledge of Biomechanics has given her Hope and a New Lease on Life. Jonathan is the first person to truly see her Scoliosis as an opportunity to work together on a path to no pain. To see each week improvements in range of motion, strength and seeing her spine straightening is priceless. Through Jonathan’s weekly one hour Zoom sessions, he has accomplished more virtually than any other in-person physical therapy session she has ever attended. He truly is our ‘Back Whisperer.’ He has brought back Jordan’s smile that radiates confidence. In the past six months Jordan’s spine has corrected from a 43 degree curve to 35 degrees. To see such results without a brace or surgery is truly amazing. Jonathan’s guidance has become a Life style for Jordan with a promising future without pain. When Jordan shared her X-ray results with her pediatrician she was in awe. She said ‘That it is unprecedented the amount of correction in such a short span of time. This is truly working for her.’”

Healthcare industry leave you with more questions as to how to attain good health? Get the help you need to solve your health problems and take the guess work out of training your body.

Great work by Jonathan Jovel from .oakland and his client. Putting in the work to make good health long lasting.

August 2018 to October 2021 Testimonial from Chris: “My health was steadily declining, and I was unable to get any support, or even methods of healing in all my dealings with the healthcare industry. They were happy to tell me I had a problem, yet they always said there was nothing they could do to help me get better. I was not expecting to find an answer when I found Jonathan and his skills about three years ago. I was at the last of my strength to resist ill health, and was rapidly succumbing to many of the illnesses I was unable to get help with. Jonathan helped me find what I was looking for, someone who could tell me enough about how the body should work, as well as the knowledge to help me start solving my health issues. It is amazing how much my posture affects my energy, which affects my health and vitality. Healing looked impossible in the beginning, and the road was incredibly difficult, and painful. The rewards so far outweigh anything it took to find my new health, I would literally do it again, if I had to, to find the functionality and ease of movement my life has now. Thank you, Jonathan. Literally could not have done it without you!”

He exercises less in the photo on the right. 🔥🔥 Make gains without the pains with FP. Amazing results coming from FP HBS .j.hall 🔥

🔹Long term posture results from September 2017- September 2021. Improved intra-abdominal pressure, joint stacking, and rib cage expansion has helped reduce the excessive curvatures in my cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions. My weight distribution, which was dependent on my quads and forefoot, has shifted to be more supported by my glutes and superficial back line. These improvements have helped me decompress my shoulders and upper chest causing an increase in hypertrophy of my upper body. These changes occurred despite exercising significantly less than in the before photo.

2016 Vs. 2021
I came across the video on the left from 5 years ago walking with Rapha and was shocked to see how unstable my lumbar was. I asked Sonya to at some point secretly film me from behind walking with Beni and here’s the comparison. It’s obvious my body was not on a sustainable path and you can be sure I felt it. It’s hard to articulate the gratitude I have for and for laying out the territory that has allowed me to have the experience I now have in my body. An emoji will have to do for now 🙏
