🧪 TESTING FUNCTIONAL PATTERNS | Functional Patterns Plank and how to fix my Kyphosis Posture.


Maybe you wonder if Functional Patterns really works, just like me. Doing 7 years of experimenting with online knowledge and the following profession:

✔️ 14 Physiotherapists
✔️ 1 Chiropractor
✔️ 1 Knee surgeon with surgery
✔️ 1 Podiatrist
✔️ 2 Rolfers
✔️ David Berceli – TRE
✔️ Gerben Hierck - PDTR
✔️ Wim Hof – Wim Hof Method

I learned a lot working with these people. Some problems got fixed, but a complete fix is still not there. So, I got obsessed with finding answers myself and stumbled upon Functional Patterns when I was diving into myofascial release and biomechanics. I reached out to Alex Parengkuan, head of Functional Patterns Netherlands in Rotterdam.


My injurie status at October 9th, 2017:
🔴 Shoulder impingement (left)
🔴 Bad Knee pain (left)
🔴 Breathing restriction


This is the first time I test Functional Patterns with a practitioner. In this video Alex checks my posture and notices duck feet and a posterior pelvic tilt plus a nice kyphosis posture. We dive in to:

✔️ How to release the abs
✔️ Why myofascial release works better with reciprocal inhibition
✔️ Why emotions can create biomechanical issues
✔️ How to do hamstring release with a lacrosse ball
✔️ How to correct a kyphotic posture
✔️ How to work on a kyphosis
✔️ Why the superficial front line is involved with a kyphosis
✔️ Why the deep front line is involved with a kyphosis
✔️ Why the superficial back line is involved with a kyphosis
✔️ Does Functional Patterns really work?
