Amy Divine

Amy Divine is a nationally certified Personal Trainer through American council on Exercise, she is also a certified Functional Patterns Human Foundations Practitioner, she has her BS in Psychology/Animal Science, and is CPR/AED certified. Her sole method of training is Functional Patterns to correct postural dysfunctions within the system of a body. She focuses corrective exercise that integrates dynamic movement based on each individual’s need, therefore correcting dysfunction and regaining neutrality within overall posture. By applying these techniques, proper biomechanics within the gait cycle can be obtained making every day functioning in life easier and pain free, and maximizing athletic performance. She found this method of training by surviving a life altering experience and was desperate for normal functioning and chronic pain relief. In 2014 she had a blood vessel in her spinal cord rupture just under her brain stem leaving her acutely paralyzed within 30 mins. She had to undergo emergency decompression surgery to remove a 2 1/2 inch blood clot that was compressing her spinal cord. She had a laminectomy from C2 to C5 leaving her with chronic neck, arm, and back pain. Upon finding Functional Patterns and applying posture corrective techniques pain relief was achieved within 2 sessions. She quickly proceeded down the rabbit hole of Functional Patterns and swiftly changed her career from years of animal care as a veterinary technician to a path of helping people cure their chronic pain, regain mobility, and re-tension their body.
