Functional Patterns.
Scoliosis Treatment for Melbourne & Surf Coast
How We Support Your Scoliosis At Functional Patterns Surf Coast
-
Integrated Approach.
We see the entire body as an integrated system, not just a body of symptoms. We use gait (movement) and posture analysis to identify the root causes of scoliosis. We use integrated movements and a highly trained eye to correct these imbalances.
-
No Downtime.
Surgery is often not your only option. Functional Patterns as a system has naturally improved hundreds of scoliosis’. Targeted exercise and movement is a far safer and longer-lasting option for spinal health and symmetry.
-
Real Results.
We pride ourself on achieving continual, meaningful results with our clients. You will never be ‘just a number.’ Our entire business model is based around getting excellent results and testimonials. If in doubt, take a look at Functional Patterns long list of case studies and before and afters.
Our treatment for scoliosis, Melbourne.
We work closely with clients to naturally reduce cases of scoliosis.
Practitioners often offer surgical treatment to patients with scoliosis. We find that surgery can have side effects and poses a higher risk than movement-based alternatives.
Asymmetrical movement patterns and pressure often cause scoliosis. Changing movement patterns and pressure in the body can therefore alter the curvature of the spine.
Functional Patterns exercise programs do not just stop scoliosis progressing. Our exercises and physical therapy techniques often naturally straighten scoliosis.
If you are searching for a scoliosis specialist in Melbourne, give Functional Patterns a go.
We naturally support various types of scoliosis through tailored movement-based therapy. We understand that correct movement plays an important role in spinal health. With Functional Patterns, can support your scoliosis both naturally and holistically.
Below are a few Scoliosis case studies from Functional Patterns Surf Coast and our owner, Shane.
5 month scoliosis and cognitive transformation
Melissa
✅ Improvements in scoliotic curve
✅ Improved joint stacking and scapular positioning
✅ Improved balance and coordination
✅ Improved cognitive function and ability to sense her body in space
Due to severe head trauma, training @melissathewong has been a challenging process. Dynamic movement was originally not an option. This was because her cognitive functions would decline rapidly resulting in dizziness and a loss of balance.
The changes seen here are possible because of @functionalpatterns correctives (IMAPS) and myofascial release. Training in relation to our human-movement blueprint targets all systems of the body, including the vestibular system. Because of this, we saw an improvement in her balance and coordination as we began to improve her movement. We are looking forward to continued results from this dedicated client.
Protocol Used For This Natural Scoliosis Reversal
100% Functional Patterns Techniques
Analyse gait & postural to identify the root causes of the scoliosis. (shifts, drops, abnormal rotations, poor connection between the hips and ribs, abnormal intra-abdominal pressure ect).
Myo-Fascial Release - especially at the beginning to assist in rehydrating the fascia
Movement pattern Training via Corrective Functional Patterns Chambers/IMAPS (the secret sauce). This balances out asymmetries seen in the gait footage
Eventually dynamic exercises once the clients coordination and vestibular function had improved using the former mentioned techniques
Dietary protocol for greater core tension and modulation of intra-abdominal pressure
Lifestyle interventions for stress, sleep and wellbeing management
What Does Melissa Have To Say?
“I have seen significant improvement to my coordination, posture and proprioception through Functional Patterns. These sessions have played a key part in my journey to recover my cognitive and physical functions after my injury. Shane is an effective coach with a keen eye and knowledge for movement patterns. I have really enjoyed training with him."
Case Study - 6 month natural scoliosis correction After Post-Surgery Relapse
✅ Improvements in scoliotic curve
✅ Decompressed lumbar
✅ Improved hip positioning
✅ Decreased Pain
✅ Improved head position
✅ Improved quality of life and sleep
✅ Improved Symmetry
Courtney had a 50 degree curve T6-T11 before having spinal fusion in 2002 via thoracotomy. This brought the curve to 7 degrees.
A second curve developed in 2018, a 40 degree curve from T5-L2 as pictured 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.
Nevertheless, her quality of life is improving along with the structure of her spine as it comes closer to neutral. The changes that she implemented to get these results were surgery-free. This majorly reduced the risk of another curve appearing in the future. This is why it is SO important to address the underlying cause and to avoid surgical bandaids.
Protocol Used For This Natural Scoliosis Reversal
Because of relapse post-surgery we focused heavily on identifying the root cause of the scoliosis
We analysed gait & postural to identify the root causes of the patients scoliosis. We wanted to know the movement-patterns affect of her surgical history. We looked for shifts, drops, abnormal rotations, poor connection between the hips and ribs, abnormal intra-abdominal pressure ect.
Myo-Fascial Release - especially at the beginning to assist in rehydrating the fascia and improving range of motion
We underwent Functional Patterns Training using Corrective Functional Patterns Chambers (the FP secret sauce). This was to balance out the asymmetries seen in her gait footage
Dynamic exercises to integrate movement-pattern changes into fast paced activity
Dietary protocol for greater core tension and modulation of intra-abdominal pressure
Lifestyle interventions for stress, behaviour/language, sleep and wellbeing management
What Does Courtney Have To Say?
“I have been training with Shane at Functional Patterns for 6 months now to help with my scoliosis pain. I’ve had significantly reduced levels of pain and a visibly straighter back. I look forward to making more improvements as we continue. Excellent trainer, I highly recommend Functional Patterns Brisbane for anyone wanting to improve their lives"
