functional movement patterns

Functional movement patterns are basic movements our bodies perform daily, like bending, squatting, reaching, or lifting, that involve multiple muscle groups working together. These patterns help maintain good posture, prevent injuries, and support overall activity. They mimic natural movements used in everyday life and physical activity, ensuring the body moves efficiently and safely. Improving functional movement means strengthening how we move naturally, which can enhance performance and reduce discomfort during routine tasks or exercise.
