Root cause, not the curve alone
We find the compensations feeding your asymmetry (a shifted ribcage, uneven foot loading, one-sided breathing) and retrain them, rather than stretching the symptom for an hour.
For scoliosis · Melbourne South-East
Scoliosis coaching in Melbourne that retrains how you move.
One-on-one Functional Patterns coaching for people with scoliosis. We retrain how you stand, breathe and load your body, so it has a reason to organise differently, instead of just monitoring the curve.

We train how you move, not just the curve on a scan
90 min
Initial assessment · no lock-in
You want to do something active about your scoliosis, not just monitor it.
Told to “watch and wait”, while nothing actually addresses how you move day to day.
Pain, stiffness or fatigue that builds from years of the same compensation.
Bracing or generic exercises that never change how you load your body.
Uneven shoulders, ribs or hips you can feel, but nobody is training.
Wanting a clear plan you can act on, instead of another scan and a shrug.
A scoliosis isn’t just “a curve”. It sits alongside how your ribs, pelvis, feet and breathing load your spine, the same way, thousands of times a day. Change those inputs and your body has a reason to organise differently over time.
Why Functional Patterns for scoliosis?
A biomechanics-first method built on one principle: your structure reflects your repeated inputs. Rather than chasing the curve, we upgrade how you stand, walk, breathe, hinge, rotate and load, so your body organises around your spine differently.
The “FP Big 4”
Standing, walking, running, throwing. Restore these and the trunk and pelvis start loading with control and symmetry, not the same daily bias.
Tracked, not guessed
We measure with video and clear movement benchmarks so progress is objective. In the case study, we also track curvature with imaging over time.
Training the inputs, not the label.
- Less pain, stiffness and “hot spots” from chronic compensation.
- Better breathing mechanics and trunk control under load.
- Improved left/right symmetry in how you walk and train.
- More confidence and control in daily movement and sport.
- A clear plan you can follow, instead of random exercises that don’t move the needle.
Some people also see measurable changes in curvature over time; others primarily notice better pain, function and control. Either way, we track it objectively. Outcomes vary.

The 6-month Scoliosis Scholarship
I run one structured, high-accountability case study at a time: a committed person with scoliosis, training consistently for 24 weeks, with baseline and follow-up imaging and a clear before/after on objective measures. See who it’s for, what’s involved and how to apply.
