It’s A Joint Effort
Many people live with joint pain and assume they have to either live with it, or stop exercising/working to make the pain go away. The problem is, if you use excessive rest to ‘help’ joint pain, you are likely to lose muscle, gain unwanted weight and make the pain even worse.
So, what is the correct course of action for somebody with joint pain? How do you continue to get the gains, without the pains?
Here at Functional Patterns Brisbane, we know that joint pain comes from things rubbing on things that they shouldn’t and things leaning on things that they shouldn’t (to put it very simply). When we look at the human structure in movement, we can identify the serious of motions, or patterns, that are causing the joint pain. We can then use exercise to activate the right muscles and pathways.
That, my friend, is how we increase lean muscle mass while decreasing joint pain and improving overall posture and joint-stacking. That is the escape from the catch-22 that so many people are faced with.

How Did Emma’s Transformation Make Her Feel?
“After living with a number of overuse injuries from competitive basketball, I knew I needed to relearn how to move or things would continue to get worse with time.
I was already having to tape my knees and ice after every game to get through, and have missed multiple seasons with shoulder injuries. It got to the point where I took a year off from sport because I was just constantly injured and no longer enjoying anything.
After that year, I decided I wanted to get out and try different sports, training and activities, but first I wanted to try and end the injury cycle. Enter functional patterns. From the first session my movement was assessed, weaknesses found and immediately began addressing them.
It’s only been a few months but I’m moving better than I probably ever have, my shoulder is the most stable it’s felt in years, and I can run and train without knee pain for the first time since I was a teenager! Thanks to the guys at FP Brisbane, looking forward to making more progress!””

Early Degenerative Hip Disease -> PAIN FREE
Another result from our prac @max.emett - Chronic hip pain eliminated and physique gains made with my client Charma over 17 months training 2 x per week @fp_brisbane
✅ Improved TVA function
✅ Improved right hip drop
✅ Improved thoracic extension
✅ Improved scapular positioning
✅ Chronic hip pain eliminated
“I’ve been unlucky enough to have early degenerative hip disease which caused pain and discomfort in my right hip and often lead to further pain elsewhere in my body, particularly my back, knees and feet. Following the birth of my children, the issues with my hip exacerbated resulting in a hip arthroscopy which unfortunately did not result in significant improvement.
Five years later, back in the surgeons office the recommendation was a full hip replacement, not something I was prepared to consider at my age. In late 2020, carrying too many COVID kilos the normal discomfort had increased to significant pain and required management through regular pain medication.
I had been unable to successfully make further improvements through other allied health supports and Pilates and in my search for a last resort alternative to surgery I discovered FP. Only on occasion I feel pain, sudden movement or funny landing but I have no ongoing chronic pain or in fact muscle tightness. Everything is moving better and I have more confidence that physically it’s all holding together.
Unexpected benefits on this journey so far: improved posture, increased energy, better stress resilience, sleeping better, improved work performance, reduced pre-menstrual tension, generally happier and overall a much healthier lifestyle. I’ve smashed some long standing bad habits and my kids see me now as a positive role model (strong and healthy Mum). Thank you Max, @functionalpatterns @naudiaguilar @fp_brisbane”
