We help you to understand why you experience recurring pain and injury to eliminate future episodes and give you back control over your body.

Get Grounded. Get Aligned. Get Control.

Your body doesn’t start at your shoulders or hips — it starts at the ground.

When your feet lose connection with the floor, your brain loses accurate input.
When that happens, alignment breaks down… and weight shifts where it shouldn’t.

👉 Grounding restores:
• Proper weight distribution
• Joint alignment from the feet up
• Efficient muscle activation
• Better balance, power, and control

If your weight is constantly drifting to one side, your nervous system is compensating — not performing.

Before you chase strength, mobility, or performance…
Reconnect to the ground.
That’s where alignment lives.

Move with intention.
Stand with awareness.
Train from the ground up.

Strength is built in the details.

You don’t get stronger by just adding more weight.
You get stronger when alignment + intent are locked in first.

If your joints aren’t stacked…
If your rib cage isn’t positioned…
If you’re compensating instead of controlling…

You’re not training strength — you’re rehearsing dysfunction.

True strength gains come from:
• Proper joint alignment
• Controlled positioning
• Owning the movement before loading it
• Eliminating “fake range” and momentum

Dial in the details and your nervous system actually allows you to express more force.

Lift with intention.
Align first.
Then earn the load.

Your posture doesn’t start at your shoulders.
It starts at your pelvis and hips.

When the pelvis is tilted, rotated, or shifted…
Your entire spine stacks on a crooked foundation:
➡️ low back tension
➡️ tight hip flexors
➡️ rib flare
➡️ rounded shoulders
➡️ neck strain

Reset the pelvic + hip alignment and your posture resets with it.

✅ Better breathing
✅ Better movement
✅ Better strength
✅ Less pain
✅ More control

Posture isn’t about “standing up straight.”
It’s about owning your base of support.

12/05/2025

Position before power. Alignment before effort.

If your body isn’t positioned correctly, no amount of strength or stretching will give you the movement you’re chasing.

Alignment sets the starting line for every rep, every step, every breath.
When joints stack correctly and the nervous system feels safe, the body finally does what it was designed to do—move efficiently, powerfully, and without compensation.

The real breakthrough doesn’t come from doing more.
It comes from doing things from the right position.

When you realign the body:
• Strength turns on easier
• Mobility shows up naturally
• Pain stops being the driver
• Performance stops being forced

Don’t just train harder.
Train aligned. Move with intention.

SHOULDER STRENGTH STARTS WITH INTENTION 🔥

Most people train their shoulders in the same plane, with the same load, at the same speed — and wonder why progress stalls or pain shows up.
If you want real shoulder strength that translates into performance, longevity, and pain-free living, you need three things:

1️⃣ Altered Angles = Better Alignment

Change the angle of the bench.
Change the angle of your torso.
Change the angle of your humerus.
Small adjustments shift which fibers are recruited, allowing you to train the shoulder in the positions you actually live, work, and play in. Strength becomes functional, not just aesthetic.

2️⃣ Adjust Your Bodyweight for Control

Don’t fight the load — own the load.
Shift your feet.
Stagger your stance.
Widen your base.
Reduce your leverage.
These micro-changes instantly reveal where you’re compensating and force the shoulder to work in a clean, stable pattern. This is how you build strength that sticks.

3️⃣ Slow the Rep, Feel the Rep

Speed exposes dysfunction.
Control exposes strength.
A slower tempo improves joint positioning, increases time under tension, and teaches your shoulder how to stay centered under load… instead of letting your traps take over.

⸻

Train the shoulder with intention — and the strength shows up everywhere.

Unlock alignment. Unlock control. Unlock performance.

🟦 THANKFUL FOR MOVEMENT

Most of us don’t think about movement… until it’s taken away.

Low back pain is one of the biggest reminders of that.
One small restriction — a locked rib cage, a stiff hip, a weak core connection — can suddenly take away your ability to bend, twist, or even stand without discomfort. It’s a wake-up call that movement is not guaranteed.

The real question becomes:

What are you doing NOW to stay proactive… so you don’t have to be reactive later?

Are you training your joints through full ranges?
Are you maintaining alignment instead of compensations that overload your low back?
Are you building durability, mobility, and control before pain shows up?
Are you investing in your body the same way you invest in your business or relationships?

Movement is a gift — but it’s also a responsibility.
Honor it. Train it. Protect it.
Your future self (and your low back) will thank you.

UNLOCKED Move.

Your rib cage might be the missing link in your neck and upper back pain.
Most people stretch their neck, smash their traps, or chase tightness between the shoulder blades… but the real issue often lives lower, at the rib cage.

When your ribs don’t expand, rotate, or move the way they should, your upper body has no choice but to compensate.
That compensation shows up as:

• Stiff upper back
• Overworked traps
• Neck tension
• “Pinching” between the shoulder blades
• Limited overhead mobility

The rib cage is your anchor.
When it’s locked up, your shoulder girdle has to do all the work. When it moves well, everything above it moves clean, smooth, and pain-free.

How to improve rib cage mobility & reduce neck/upper back pain:
• Train rotational breathing — expand 360°, not just forward
• Open the side ribs with reaches, sidebends, and rotations
• Get into positions you normally avoid (half kneeling, side-lying, quadruped)
• Strengthen the mid-back with control, not compensation
• Move slow before you move heavy

Your posture and movement are only as strong as the foundation beneath them — and the rib cage is one of the most overlooked foundations we have.

Unlock the ribs → unlock the shoulders → unlock your performance.

FOCUS • POSTURE • POSITIONING

If you want the best outcome in any movement—gym, sport, or daily life—it starts with how you set up.

Most people jump straight into the reps…
But the body responds to precision, not speed.

🔹 Focus creates awareness
🔹 Posture sets the foundation
🔹 Positioning directs the forces where you actually want them

When these three line up, you move cleaner, load the right tissues, reduce pain, and unlock more power with less effort.

Slow down on the setup.
Dial in your alignment.
Then let the movement do its job.

Move with intention → Move with results.

Dallas’ Best Physical Therapy Starts Where Most Clinics Stop.

Pain is never the real problem — it’s the signal.
At Human Function and Performance, we don’t chase symptoms. We chase why they showed up in the first place.

Most pain comes from underlying patterns:
• Rib cage not moving → shoulder pain
• Hips stuck in one position → low back tension
• Ankles not loading well → knee pain
• Breathing mechanics off → neck tightness

When you treat the root cause, the body finally gets a chance to reorganize, realign, and unlock full performance — without relying on temporary fixes.

This is how you move better, feel better, and stay pain-free…
Not just today, but for a lifetime.

If you’re in Dallas and want a proactive approach that treats the system, not just the symptoms, this is your sign to get UNLOCKED.
DM me “MOVE” and let’s get your body functioning the way it was designed.

UNLOCKED Move | Expand Your Movement Vocabulary

Most of us move through the same few patterns every day — sitting, standing, walking, maybe a workout or two. But the body thrives on variety.

Getting into positions you don’t typically use (deep squat, half-kneel, side-sit, rotations, reaches, crawls) unlocks new angles of mobility and teaches your body to access strength, stability, and control outside your normal base of support.

When you train these “uncommon” positions, you’re not just getting more flexible — you’re building a body that stays limber, adaptable, and resilient for the moments life demands more from you.

Hiking uneven terrain. Picking something up off the floor. Recovering from a slip. Playing sports. Staying active for decades.

Movement variety = movement longevity.

Explore positions. Own new ranges. Stay active for life.

🧠💪 Alter the Position. Change the Alignment. Control the Force.

Sometimes pain isn’t about the movement itself — it’s about how you’re positioned when you move. By slightly altering your position, you change joint alignment and how forces travel through your body.

This lets you find your pain-free zone — where you can move, strengthen, and restore function without irritation.

Instead of forcing movement through pain, adjust your setup and unlock better mechanics.
Because movement should heal, not hurt.

🫁 Rib Cage Mobility = Shoulder Freedom

“Chase the movement, not the injections.”

Most shoulder or rotator cuff issues don’t start in the shoulder — they start in how the rib cage moves (or doesn’t move).

When your rib cage is stiff or stuck in one position — usually flared up or collapsed forward — it changes how your shoulder blade glides across your ribs.
That shoulder blade (scapula) is the foundation your rotator cuff depends on.
No mobility = no stability = pain, impingement, or tearing.

⸻

🔁 The Chain Reaction
• Limited rib cage expansion → restricted scapular glide
• Restricted scapula → altered rotator cuff tension
• Altered cuff mechanics → chronic inflammation and compensation
• Compensation → injections, taping, and “temporary fixes” that never address the source

⸻

💡 The Fix

Instead of chasing symptoms, chase movement quality:
• Restore 360° rib cage expansion through breath work
• Reconnect the rib cage to the pelvis and spine
• Train shoulder control in sync with thoracic rotation and rib mobility

Your rotator cuff will thank you when the foundation beneath it actually moves the way it’s designed to.

⸻

Stop chasing the pain. Start chasing the pattern.
When the rib cage moves, the shoulder heals.

The Mission

It is our mission at Human Function and Performance to educate every patient, client, and athlete we work with on the inner workings of their body. Powered with this knowledge, our patients are able to effectively treat themselves. This puts control over how your body feels back in the hands of you, the patient, not the practitioner. There is nothing more important to us than establishing a feeling of confidence in our patients. You can run, you can squat, you can join that workout class, you can play that sport with your kids. But first, you need to understand why it’s a problem for you and how you can begin resolving that issue permanently.
