OTTAWA’S PAIN, POSTURE AND MOVEMENT SPECIALISTS
FUNCTIONAL PATTERNS
Functional Patterns is a system that was founded by Naudi Aguilar in 2006.
Functional Patterns is an intelligent way of correcting our biomechanics. With our focus on the movements we do primarily as humans - the Functional Patterns first four – Standing, Walking, Running and Throwing in our training we get stronger, have better endurance and resilience, better mobility and improvements in biomechanics as a consequence.
Simply put, the system incorporates training for biomechanical improvements that result in real, lasting change.
Training with Functional Patterns Ottawa
Where to start?
Step 1: Everything starts with an Assessment appointment
Step 2: Learn the foundations of Functional Patterns in one of two ways:
Private sessions or Semi-Private Sessions, or
Intro to FP Fundamentals Group Series (when available)
The Group series are a more affordable way to learn the same basics and commune with other like-minded participants.
All of our group classes are small and welcoming.
Both Private Sessions and Group Classes are taught by Certified FP HBS Practitioners and are held in our central downtown Ottawa facility.
Private Training
Work privately in one-on-one sessions with Linda or Michael to really hone in on your particular challenges and asymmetries.
You can start with Private Training or begin with the Intro to FP Foundations Group Class Series and Active Basics if you wish and then move into Private Sessions when that is complete.
Semi-Private Training
In certain cases we can work with 2 clients together in semi-private sessions with Linda or Michael. This is another option for 2 people learning the foundations or for 2 people who have very similar challenges moving forward.
You can start with Semi-Private Training or begin with the Intro to FP Foundations Group Class Series and move into Private or Semi-Private Sessions as soon as that is complete.
Functional Patterns Group Classes
Intro to FP Fundamentals Series is the first phase. This is where we learn the basics, cueing and how to make connections. From there you move to Private Training.
Functional Dynamics - is the FP Workout. These classes incorporate Functional Patterns movements in a more challenging circuit-based environment. Only for those clients who have learned FP cues and movements.
MFR, Posture & the Foundations - Weekly or Bi-weekly practice in MFR, posture and drilling foundational movements to wire them in your body.
Group Classes and Series
Intro to FP Foundations Group Series
In this 5-week series you will learn the first phase and basics of Functional Patterns methodologies.

In this class we will focus mostly on expanding our practice of Myofascial Release Techniques that were learned. The rest of the class will focus on drilling the foundational exercises and posture work.
Functional Dynamics Group Classes
The FP Workout. These workout style classes incorporate Functional Patterns movements in a more challenging circuit-based environment. Expect to get a sweat on while working on improving your movement, strength and precision. Must have all fundamentals through group or private sessions. Offered Mondays 5:30 and Wednesdays at noon.
Results
At Functional Patterns, our primary focus is on achieving results with our clients.
Everyone has their own journey and we all start at different places in our process. For some of our clients their goals are to improve their biomechanics for high level athletic pursuits.
For most their goals are to get out of pain, overcome physical dysfunctions and to move and function pain-free. Once we achieve this the focus becomes improving their movement patterns enabling them to get strong, improve or overcome hypermobility, scoliosis and other challenging circumstances
