I ONLY USE THE FUNCTIONAL PATTERNS METHODOLOGY
(Founded by Naudi Aguilar)
HI THERE
I’m Sam Lightfoot of Lightfoot Functional Fitness. I’m a level 4 Human Biomechanics Specialist certified with Functional Patterns. I only use the FP methodology.
My passion is to be able to be able to sustain optimal movement and health for as long as I live. With the Functional Patterns multi facet system of training - This will help set you on a path of strength in motion and longevity.
IT STARTS WITH:
Myofascial Release
Promote hydration of muscles, decompression, and release restrictions that are common in causing chronic pain.
Release restrictions in preparation to rewire in new fascia/muscle associations/connections/chains.
Corrective Exercise
Correcting posture and bringing the body back into balance using corrective and foundational exercises.
This is where we structurally integrate the body by connecting new fascia/muscle chains and sling systems that are missing.
Dynamic Movement
Start learning the foundation of dynamic movement setting in-place quality movement patterns, deepening new connections which helps with every day human movement.
Multi Planar Ballistic Patterns
With a new level of balance, strength and physical intelligence we will progress up to multi plane dynamic and powerful functional movement patterns, using an array of tools to test and deepen connections.
FUNCTIONAL
Humans use rotational forces through all planes of motion in almost everything we do. This is the reason why 3 dimensional training is so powerful. It trains your body to respond to the random and unpredictable situations of real life and sports. Whether it be carrying groceries, lifting your kids, working as a tradie or playing a sport; running, climbing, surfing. Whatever your lifestyle, it is important the type of training you choose is one that best optimises movements to enhance your life.
Functional Patterns base protocols to achieve this result.
POSTURE
I'm passionate about the role of Posture in training and how by correcting it, it can help create balance, reduce injury and provide sustainability in the body throughout a lifetime.
CARE
I have the ability to work both gently and vigorously by tuning into clients and knowing when to push or slow it down. I have a strong attention to form which ensures you do not train through muscular imbalances that may cause injury.
