Who Is Functional Pattern Analysis For?

Physiotherapist Sefa Göben’s expertise in Functional Patterns, NKT and fascial techniques allows us to address a broad range of conditions and performance goals:

• Postural problems and spinal deviations — Kyphosis, scoliosis and lordosis are assessed through movement analysis, and corrective exercise strategies are planned. Where needed, Schroth Therapy is integrated.
• Athletes and those seeking improved performance — Movement mechanics are optimised, injury risk is reduced and sport-specific performance is enhanced. A strong complement to fascial training approaches.
• Chronic pain (low back, neck, upper back) — Muscle imbalances are identified and long-term functional solutions are implemented. Manual therapy is combined where clinically appropriate.
• Beginners or those wanting to exercise safely — Faulty movement patterns are corrected before they become injuries, building a healthy structural foundation.
• Post-surgical or post-injury rehabilitation — Supports the restoration of natural movement patterns and a safe return to activity.

What Happens During a Functional Pattern Session?

• Movement Analysis and Postural Assessment — Walking, running, sitting and standing patterns are examined systematically. The quality and biomechanical deviations of movement are identified.
• Muscle Activation Testing — Overactive and underactive muscles are mapped, and a balanced activation model is established.
• Functional Exercise Applications — Individualised functional exercises are taught and practised. By correcting faulty movement patterns, daily quality of life and movement efficiency are improved.
• Manual Therapy and NKT Support — Neurokinetic Therapy regulates the neuromuscular connection and improves movement efficiency. Manual therapy is integrated where needed.
• Combined Approach with Osteopathy — When clinically indicated, osteopathic techniques provide a broader systemic perspective on movement dysfunction.
