Straighten Scoliosis Naturally in Melbourne

Straighten scoliosis naturally

Reprogram your posture, decompress your spine, and restore pain-free movement using biomechanical training rooted in how the body was designed to move.

Posture assessment and gait analysis

We begin with posture, movement, gait, and alignment analysis to see how your scoliosis pattern is affecting your body.

Integration and feedback

You’ll do guided sessions with feedback, plus homework you can practice. We monitor and adjust as your body begins to respond.

Support and education

You learn the how and why behind each movement. FP isn’t just doing exercises, it’s changing how your neuromuscular system works, so posture improves even outside the gym.

Scoliosis, pain and weight loss transformation

As a plumber, Ben struggled with daily back pain (6.5-7.5/10) for 5 years, often reaching 9/10, relying on anti-inflammatories, and compensating with other muscles. Past approaches included bodybuilding, triathlon, stretching, massage, chiropractic, and sports.

Since training with FP and following a conscious diet, Ben now enjoys consecutive pain-free weeks, reduced flare-ups (3.5-4.5/10), improved posture, core strength, coordination, and overall well-being. He no longer relies on medication and has cut alcohol significantly.

“FP and Steve have transformed my body, strength, and day-to-day life.”

Improve scoliosis after surgery relapse

Courtney had a 50 degree curve T6-T11 before having spinal fusion in 2002 via thoracotomy, bringing the curve to 7 degrees. A second curve developed in 2018 from T5-L2 of 40 degrees which can be seen in the photo on the left. With a steel rod in the thoracic spine, there is a limitation to what we are able to do. This is why it is SO important to address the underlying course and structure and avoid surgical bandaids when it comes to scoliosis.

Straighter scoliosis and no pain

I’ve had a very active background and have been involved in martial arts, traditional training and yoga for many years, some of which has attributed to the chronic pain I suffered… Thanks to FP I am getting relief and slowly my issues are disappearing… I’ve tried many other practices and seen specialists and I have had the best results with Functional Patterns so far… At last I am seeing amazing improvements in all areas of my body. This is not a short-term once-off approach and it takes consistency and time to work.

FAQs

Will I worsen my condition doing this training?

The training system is designed to reduce strain on the spine, not increase it. Movements are controlled and individualised, with a focus on posture and alignment.

How long will it take to improve my scoliosis?

It’s taken many years and a lot of stimulus to get your body to this point. Much of that stimulus is of the incorrect kind (in relation to human biology) creating muscle and joint imbalances.

Reversing these imbalances while instilling new patterns can take some time and is different for everybody. To get a rough, non-specific idea of how long some conditions can take to rebalance, you can look through various FP results to see how long each one took to achieve.

Can I build muscle doing FP?

Yes, once the foundational work has been dialled in and your body is responding well, you can begin bodybuilding using Functional Patterns techniques. The goal is always joint decompression and functionality at every level, so the movements will look different to a traditional bodybuilding routine.

You will be able to achieve more symmetrical and functional muscle mass with far less chance of injury. The muscle mass you achieve will allow you to move better and function better on a cellular level. Your muscle mass will also be much more likely to stick around once you eventually dial back your training as it will be built in a manner that is in-line with the gait cycle. Therefore, low-impact daily activities like walking will be helping to maintain your physique.

Do I need any prior training to do Functional Patterns?

Previous experience is not necessary, you just need to have a keen interest in fixing and improving your body. The Functional Patterns 10 Week Online Course is a good precursor to the training as it makes the fundamentals more digestible and creates a base of knowledge and terminology that will be used throughout the training.

Otherwise, from your very first session, we will be helping you to understand the most important concepts and how to apply them to your current situation in order to see great improvements. You will be assessed based on your gait cycle and treated based on what we find regardless of any previous training.
