Breathwork isn’t automatically beneficial. If your structure is imbalanced, forcing breathing patterns on top of it can actually reinforce dysfunction. Breathing doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s influenced by posture, rib position, spinal orientation, and how the entire body is organized. If any part of that system is off, your breathing mechanics will reflect it. Trying to “fix” breathing without addressing the structure underneath is like adjusting the symptom instead of the cause. The body functions as an integrated system, and the only way to improve breathing long term is to improve how the whole system moves. Focus on the FP First 4 to restore balance to posture and mechanics, and better breathing becomes a byproduct of better movement. #functionalpatterns #breathingmechanics

Thank you @jiujitsuisnature for the @functioneck class testimonial! I came up with the Equipment Classes to help my clients build an arsenal of @functionalpatterns tools over the course of a year. There is an entire system of techniques behind every tool that FP offers - it’s truly incredible. I’m extremely grateful for the work @theleverking and the team puts in to keep bringing these technologies to market. Every tool that gets dropped is yet another way to help a client like Sam fix his issues🙏

Reciprocal inhibition is the mechanism that allows one muscle group to lengthen when its opposing muscles contract. It’s how the body creates stretch naturally, without forcing range. You can try to create this in isolation by stretching individual muscles, or you can integrate it across the entire system. When movement is organized correctly, opposing muscle groups coordinate automatically, producing functional mobility instead of passive flexibility. At FP, reciprocal inhibition isn’t chased through random stretching. It’s integrated through movement aligned with the FP First 4, so length is created through control, not compensation. #functionalpatterns #integratedstretching #reciprocalinhibition

Sometimes when I start putting a shirt on I think to myself, “Wtf are you doing? You live in Costa Rica.”

Thank you @Brian Harper for the testimonial! The Unlimited Virtual Group Class Membership is perfect for people that don't have a @functionalpatterns practitioner near them. The beauty of FP is you don't need very much equipment to start off with - just a band and a set of dumbbells can get you through 95% of the workouts. If you pay using Bitcoin it only costs $55/month for UNLIMITED classes. This is super easy to do and I can help educate you on how to use Bitcoin if you aren't familiar with it - it's just as easy as using CashApp, Venmo, or Zelle). If you're interested in joining, shoot me a DM and I'll get you onboarded! #functionalpatterns #groupfitness #virtualtraining

I highly recommend this soap! @Junglematt
