Moving beyond straight line training matters. But adding rotation alone does not fix dysfunction.
A lot of people jump into multi planar work or try to mimic Functional Patterns movements without correcting their structure first. On the surface it can look like progress, but mechanically it often reinforces deeper issues.
If the body already has torsional imbalances, where ligaments and tendons are chronically overstretched on one side, adding rotation only makes the problem worse. Those compromised tissues get pulled even longer and the system becomes more unstable.
Multi planar movement is only beneficial when the body is structurally prepared for it. Structure has to come before movement.

And the years just keep getting better and better!
Yeah! X amount of years of gravity taking its toll lol luckily with a consistent, precise stimulus it doesn’t take as long to get out of those old patterns
Everyone wants to “regulate” their nervous system.
But very few address the structure it has to operate through.
Health and performance start with balanced muscles, hydrated fascia, and organized posture. That physical foundation determines how well your nerves can actually function and how efficiently you move.
If fascia is restricted or dehydrated, neural signals cannot travel well. A nervous system cannot operate cleanly through a body that is physically stuck. No amount of breathwork or nervous system drills can override poor structure.
That is why @functionalpatterns practitioners address structural imbalances first. When fascia, muscles, bones, and posture are working together, the nervous system naturally settles into balance.
Fix the structure and the system follows.

The human body works via a tensegrity - aka a balance of tensions.
It is a system of compression and tension held in constant balance, not a stack of parts working in isolation.
That is why strength, mobility, and stability cannot be trained separately. They have to exist together in every movement you do. If one is missing, the system breaks down.
At FP we account for tensegrity by training all three at the same time. This allows muscles and fascia closer to the bone to actually do their job, creating better leverage, cleaner force transfer, and movement that lasts.
When the system is integrated, the body does not need to overcompensate.
It moves better, feels better, and holds up over time.

In a drawer by New Year’s, in the ocean by next year.
Most people feel like they need long warm ups because their body is restricted and inefficient. That stiffness is not a lack of effort, it is a lack of structural integrity.
When fascia is restricted and biomechanics are off, the body needs extra time just to feel safe enough to move. Warm ups become a crutch for poor mechanics.
When you improve your mechanics by doing Functional Patterns, those stiff and guarded areas start to resolve. The body organizes itself better and movement becomes accessible on demand.
The goal is not to prepare your body to move every time - it is to build a body that is always ready.

As we age, the body slowly ossifies. Tissues dehydrate, elasticity fades, and what was once springy starts to behave more like bone. That is why maintaining elastic recoil becomes harder over time.
Many of our elastic bands, our muscles, gradually get longer and longer until they lose their ability to snap back. Once they go offline, other muscles are forced to overcompensate, and that is where pain and inefficiency show up.
Traditional stretching only speeds this process up. Length without rebound turns elastic tissue into slack tissue. You get looser, but weaker and less resilient.
Here is the part most people miss. Movement already involves stretching. When you move in a way that actually challenges your distortions, you will feel a stretch naturally.
When you train using Functional Patterns , that stretch is paired with force production and rebound. Instead of accelerating ossification, you restore elastic recoil and output.

Yeah the only thing about tennis is it tends to build too much asymmetry - it doesn’t have to be that way but that’s just the way it’s traditionally played, it creates a lot of side dominance. But it’s definitely a high-pace, athletic sport.
Stretching only reaches the tissues you already have access to.
Chronic stiffness and dehydration in the fascia do not come from a lack of stretching. They come from pattern overload. When the same muscles are doing all the work, other tissues shut down and dry out.
If you stretch without correcting those patterns, you are just pulling on what is already available, not what actually needs hydration. Over time that reinforces imbalance and leaves the dysfunctional areas even more dehydrated.
Stretching only rehydrates tissue when it is the result of balanced, well organized contractions. Without that balance, flexibility becomes another form of compensation.
