Why Choose Functional Training Over Traditional Methods?

Unlike standard rehab or fitness routines, functional strength training is designed to fix root causes of pain, rather than just treating symptoms.

We provide a long-term solution that rebuilds strength and mobility naturally without dependency on adjustments or passive treatments.

Struggling with forward head posture or pelvic tilt?
We correct anterior pelvic tilt, forward neck posture, and poor alignment so you can stand taller, breathe better, and move without discomfort.

Want a personalized approach to movement?
Our training is tailored to your unique needs, lifestyle, and goals—whether you’re an athlete, recovering from injury, or simply want to feel better every day.

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!”
