@functionalpatterns: Morris came to @jeff_jalaba @fp.santamonica 4 months after a devastating car accident that reaggravated his 5-year struggle with L5/S1 disc herniation. Years of PT and stretching had given him minimal progress, and the accident pushed him over the edge. THE PROCESS: 📅 Started: February 2023 ⏰ Training: 6x/month (60-min sessions) for 7 months, then 4x/month 📈 6 months: Down to 1/10 pain, back to full-time work 🎯 12 months: ZERO pain, playing soccer again 🏆 24 months later: STILL pain-free! BEFORE (Feb 2023) ❌ 9/10 daily pain with sciatica ❌ 9/10 Severe right hip pain ❌ Couldn’t sleep through the night ❌ Unable to work full-time as a server ❌ Had to quit soccer completely ❌ Couldn’t run AT ALL ❌ Even walking caused flare-ups ❌ Avoided all physical activities AFTER (Feb 2025) ✅ ✅ 0/10 pain - COMPLETELY PAIN FREE ✅ Down to 1/10 pain in first 6 months ✅ Working full-time in restaurant industry ✅ Playing soccer 2x per week ✅ Running without limitations ✅ Sleeping peacefully every night ✅ Back to all physical activities ✅ Confident in his movement ✅ Living life to the fullest Morris even took a 5-month break (life happens!) and returned still pain-free. Proof that when you address the ROOT CAUSE, results last. The first gait video shows him hesitant and unable to even jog due to the pain, Sciatica and fear. The recent footage… Pure confidence, fluid movement and pain/sciatica free. This is what’s possible when you work WITH your body’s healing capacity instead of just managing symptoms. #functionalpatterns #fpisthestandard #projectfunction #functionaltraining #posture #sprinting #biomechanics #sciatica #sciaticarelief
