Move the way your body was built to move

Training for people with scoliosis, postural imbalance, and long-running pain. I train with scoliosis myself, and I help people move beyond simply managing their diagnosis and toward building a stronger, more capable body.

Who I work with

You might be here for one of these

Every one of these starts the same way, with an assessment of how you actually move rather than a guess at what is wrong.

Scoliosis

A curve is not a life sentence of managing around it. I have one, and I train people who have one.

Chronic and recurring pain

Long-running discomfort that moves around, comes back, or never quite resolves with rest.

Personal training

General strength and conditioning built on the same biomechanics, for people who want to train well rather than just train hard.

Move better. Build a body that works.

At Calgary Biomechanics, we take the guesswork out of training by focusing on how the body is designed to move. Using Functional Patterns methodology, we build a more functional, resilient body by training the fundamental movement patterns of standing, walking, running, and throwing.

These movement patterns apply to everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. Whether you’re an athlete looking to improve performance, someone dealing with pain, or simply wanting to move better, the principles of human movement remain the same. Our goal is to help you understand your body, improve the way you move, and build a foundation for long-term physical health.

In practice

This is what the training actually looks like

Instead of isolating individual muscles, we work with the movements your body uses every day. Standing, walking and running. Training these patterns helps you build strength and movement that carries over into real life.

We talk through what is going on and what you have already tried. No cost, and no pressure. If I am not the right fit, I will tell you.

Assessment

We start with how you stand, walk and breathe. I take you through what I am seeing and why it matters, in plain language.

Training

You get a program built around your body, not a generic plan. We train the patterns your body uses all day, which is where change actually holds.

Why I train this way

I tried a lot of things before finding Functional Patterns. Yoga, Pilates, Schroth, massage, acupuncture, and more. Each one helped in some way, but the results never lasted. I felt like I was constantly managing the problem rather than changing what was causing it.

This was the first approach I had experienced that felt truly corrective while treating the body as a whole, rather than focusing on one area or simply managing where the pain showed up. Within my first week of working with a practitioner, I noticed a significant reduction in my pain. That experience led me to become certified in 2023.

I am a Functional Patterns Human Biomechanics Specialist Level 2, and I work with people from all walks of life, including many people with scoliosis.

My goal is to help you get to the root of your pain and feel more capable and strong in your body.

In their words

What people say

“I trained with Bree, and she is an amazing trainer with exceptional attention to detail. Her understanding of biomechanics is brilliant, and she's able to apply it to a broad range of body types.”

Michael Vincent

“I've trained with Bree for over a year now and she has really helped me understand my body and its limitations and how to solve for them. She adapts the exercises to my capabilities. Training with her has reduced my pain and I'm starting to see an improvement in my scoliotic posture.”

Marlene

“I started training with Bree because I had a severe low back injury from work, and it was difficult to walk. Within 1-2 weeks the pain was pretty much gone. I've continued training with her for over a year because after the sessions my body feels super decompressed and the low back pain hasn't been back.”

The questions I get asked most

Do you only work with people who have scoliosis?+

No. Scoliosis is a big part of my work because I have one myself and understand the challenges that can come with it. But the Functional Patterns method is for anyone who wants to get out of pain and improve how they move. I work with people dealing with pain, movement imbalances, recurring issues, old injuries, or simply looking to build a stronger, more capable body.

How is this different from what I have already tried?+

Most traditional treatments provide short-term relief but don’t always address why pain and imbalance exist in the first place. We’re different because we take an integrative approach by looking at how you actually move, how you stand, walk, breathe, and use your body as a whole.

Our goal is to address the underlying movement dysfunctions that may be contributing to your pain and imbalance, rather than simply training around them. We use corrective exercises and posture work to build strength and better movement patterns that support how your body is meant to function.

Do I need to be fit already?+

No. Most people come to me because something is not working, not because they are already training well. We start from wherever you actually are.

Do you train online?+

Yes. Sessions run in Calgary and area, or online over video, which is open to anyone anywhere.
