What’s commonly missed
Most approaches focus on the painful and symptomatic areas. We prioritize posture and gait, how your body moves and loads as a system.

How we assess posture and gait
Pain and recurring injuries aren’t always explained by the area where you feel the symptoms. At Functional Patterns Dublin we assess how your body moves as a whole. We look at posture, gait and movement patterns to identify the underlying issues which may be keeping you stuck.
Many people train regularly, stretch consistently, or seek hands on treatment yet keep running into the same problems. This often happens because the body develops imbalances and asymmetries over time. When these are not identified, training and treatment tend to manage symptoms rather than change the underlying patterns causing the problems.
This short video walks you through how we assess posture and gait, what we look for, and why this approach is different.
Stuck in the same cycle?
- Dealing with pain
- You try to build strength
- You pick up another injury flare up
- You manage symptoms with treatment
- You return to training… and it happens again
This isn’t bad luck, it’s usually an unaddressed movement issue.
Why training can make things worse
If you’re exercising on top of asymmetries you don’t know you have, common gym work can reinforce compensations and lead to repeat setbacks. More effort doesn’t fix the wrong strategy. Even if you are getting “stronger” in the gym, this muscle strength is useless unless it’s integrated into the functions your body is designed to execute.
