Why Choose Holistic Training with Move as a Human?

Biomechanics Training helps you move more efficiently by studying how your muscles, joints, and bones work together. It aims to improve your movement and optimize how your body functions.

Functional Patterns Training focuses on exercises that mimic real-life movements and improve how you move in daily activities. Instead of just gym exercises, it prepares your body for practical tasks like lifting, walking, and bending.

Together, biomechanics and functional training offer several key benefits. They prevent injuries by correcting imbalances, enhance performance by boosting strength, balance, and coordination, and support faster recovery from injuries while reducing chronic pain. These methods lead to long-term improvements in your overall health and well-being.

Sports Injury Prevention

Why clients trust our proven system

When committed to the program, clients have a 99% success rate.

You have choices when it comes to addressing pain and improving performance. Traditional methods like physical therapy often treat symptoms after they arise, and other approaches may not address your specific needs. Biomechanics & Functional Patterns training ensures not just relief, but also long-term improvements in performance and avoiding future injuries.

How Holistic Training Has Changed Lives

In a couple months, I will be 81 years old, and I owe a lot to Move As A Human. I am active with Golf, Pickleball, Running and exercise all because of Move As A Human. Thank you for helping me enjoy my life.”

I began working with Victor in July 2021. Four years ago, I was diagnosed with moderate to severe scoliosis, multiple pars fractures, and vertebrae/ disc issues. As time went on, my chronic pain increased dramatically, but I had reached a point medically where my team of doctors could no longer provide any guidance towards pain relief. As a competitive swimmer and soon-to-be college athlete, this news was extremely disheartening. I began to shorten my distance in the water and practically modify every aspect of my day-to-day life. I sought out Victor’s help because I was open and looking for anything to provide relief. Not only has relief been given to me these last few months, but I am thrilled to say my life is returning to some version of normal. Victor and the Functional Patterns program has demonstrated many techniques and tools I can now utilize confidently to assist me in my everyday life. This entire experience has been truly life-changing for me; I have seen positive impacts from massage work to breathing exercises. I can now swim longer distances in the water, sit/ stand for extended periods, wake up without pain, and more, all of this I never imagined happening. My life has been drastically improved over the course of two months, and I owe so much to Victor and the Functional Patterns program, for I am now finally doing everything I have missed out on the past four years! Victor is highly knowledgeable, and I felt as if he was always 100% interested in my journey/ progress. I highly recommend to any and everybody who is interested or curious!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Blank *DO NOT DELETE
What is Functional Patterns training in simple terms?

Functional Patterns training is a method that focuses on improving how you move in everyday life and during athletic activities. It helps correct your posture, enhance your strength, and boost your overall body efficiency. Training your body to move correctly reduces pain and prevents injuries, making you stronger and more resilient.

I can’t come into the gym—do you offer virtual training?

Yes, we offer virtual training for your convenience. You just need a phone or computer with video chat capabilities, and we’ll work with your schedule to provide effective training options from wherever you are.

Do patients fully recover, or do they need ongoing management?

Functional Patterns training aims to help your body naturally adopt better movement patterns, reducing the need for ongoing maintenance. While recovery depends on the severity of the issue and your commitment, most patients see significant improvement and require less frequent management.

What are the most common injuries and chronic pain points you help treat?

We specialize in treating conditions such as scoliosis, sciatica, knee pain, kyphosis (humpback), shoulder pain, and neck pain. Additionally, we work with sports players of all ages and individuals experiencing pain/injuries in any area.

What can patients do to prevent re-injury or exacerbation of their conditions?

Keeping an open mind and consistently integrating the recommended strategies into your daily routine is the best way to prevent re-injury and manage your condition effectively.
