Chronic Pain Management
Customized treatment programs to manage chronic pain and promote long-term health and well-being.
How a Functional Patterns Program Manages Chronic Pain
Experience a Life Beyond Pain
A holistic approach to pain management requires a profound understanding of the body by examining all contributing factors rather than focusing on isolated symptoms. Through expertise in biomechanical assessments, personalized exercises, and postural adjustments, our comprehensive strategy addresses root causes for sustained relief.
Tailored to individuals across all stages of life—from young athletes dealing with sports injuries to seniors managing chronic conditions—our method goes beyond symptom alleviation. Functional Patterns training emphasizes overall well-being and quality of life by correcting movement patterns and strengthening weak areas. This approach allows people to regain control, alleviate discomfort, and return to activities that once felt out of reach.

Benefits of an alternative approach to pain management
Unlike mainstream methods that typically focus on relieving symptoms with short-term solutions or medications, a holistic approach addresses the origin of the pain from a whole-body viewpoint. This leads to more thorough and lasting solutions, improving health outcomes and reducing pain.

Holistic treatment evaluates the entire body, identifying and addressing underlying issues rather than merely treating isolated symptoms.

Targeting the root cause offers sustainable relief and helps prevent the recurrence of pain.

Personalized Treatment
Customized solutions to individuals’ needs & pain points, including biomechanical assessments and customized exercise programs.
Improved Overall Well-Being
Enhances physical, emotional, and mental well-being, leading to a higher quality of life.

Frequently Treated Areas for Pain Management
While these are common pain zones, any area can be treated with functional patterns and biomechanics.
By focusing on the specific pain sources and concerns of each area, biomechanics provide customized strategies to improve mobility, relieve pain, and reduce the risk of injuries.
What to Expect During Your Healing Journey
A Biomechanics Approach to Tackling Pain Management
Starting a healing journey with a holistic approach involves a thorough and systematic process. This method requires an open mind and a commitment to sticking to the program. The key difference with Functional Patterns is that the more consistently you practice, the more your body naturally integrates the reprogramming into everyday movements. Your pain management recovery consists of:
Comprehensive Assessment
Analyze posture, gait, and movement patterns to pinpoint specific dysfunctions and imbalances causing chronic pain.
Customized Exercise Programs
Develop targeted exercises to address weaknesses, enhance flexibility, and correct inefficiencies, focusing on eliminating the underlying causes of discomfort.
Postural and Alignment Corrections
Adjust poor posture and alignment to relieve muscle and joint strain, reducing pain and improving comfort.
Movement Optimization
Enhance movement efficiency and coordination to decrease stress on affected areas and improve overall functionality.
Injury Prevention
Identify potential risk factors and implement strategies to prevent future injuries and avoid chronic pain recurrence.
Proven Success for Pain Management
“I started doing Functional Patterns 2 years ago to try and undo my chronic pain in my right forearm. Before Functional Patterns, I tried every therapy you can think of to get rid of my chronic pain from physical therapy, chiropractic, peptide shots, cortisone shots, massage therapy, to then even getting surgery. After trying all these therapies and getting surgery, my forearm kept getting worse. It was at the point where I had no real desire to keep going and lost all hope. Then I started Functional Patterns and it was the best decision I have ever made. I am now out of chronic pain and can perform all the daily tasks needed and my body feels better than ever. I have experienced better athletic performance and mobility, and most importantly, I am pain-free! I would like to thank Functional Patterns, Naudi Aguilar, and Victor Kravutske, for putting in countless hours to get me to where I am today! FP all day!”

“I’m 36 and have suffered from lower back pain since age 19 when I injured it in a snowboarding accident. I have tried everything and can honestly say Functional Patterns training and the guys at Move As A Human have brought me back from the dead. My body and entire structure is stronger than ever and my back pain is basically gone.
I have struggled with other types of high-impact training for many years as it always came with a price tag (pain, swelling, etc.).
With Functional Patterns and Move As A Human, I’m able to exert significantly more effort and achieve much greater gains without the cost of impacting workouts that hurt me for days after.
This stuff is real – if you’re hurting, give them a try. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.”

Pain Management Timeline
Consistent Training Leads to Better Results
The timeline for pain management varies based on individual factors and the commitment to the program. Successful outcomes rely on the client’s commitment to actively engage in and consistently follow the recommended strategies.
Initial Relief
Many clients experience relief soon after starting treatment. This often involves regular sessions with a trainer, combined with consistent practice of muscle release techniques and prescribed exercises at home.
Short-Term Progress
Significant improvements in pain and function are typically observed after a few weeks. During this time, clients usually notice reduced discomfort, improved mobility, and enhanced overall well-being.
Long-Term Results
Achieving lasting pain relief and preventing recurrence generally requires ongoing commitment. Clients who continue with regular training sessions and adhere to their exercise routines often see sustained benefits over time.
Ongoing Maintenance
To maintain progress and prevent future issues, continued practice and periodic check-ins with the trainer may be necessary. Functional Patterns naturally integrate reprogramming into daily movements, reducing the need for extensive maintenance. However, ongoing practice is still recommended to stay ahead of pain.
