Benefits
The bottom line is that for most of our clients, Aston-Patterning moves them out of discomfort and into a new way of being FASTER than anything else they've tried--and most of them have tried MANY options. That's why Peter & I started with Aston-Patterning professionally, because personally, our lives were transformed out of pain and we began to design the life we desire!

Gardening, sweeping, carrying groceries from the car, driving your car – all of these activities seem so simple, but they have the possibility of making you stiff and sore. Aston-Patterning has such simple ways to make your daily tasks easier. Helping you get rid of old body habits and learn new ones to make you move more efficiently and with less stress and fatigue.
At the Office

Feeling comfortable and dynamic facilitates alertness and minimizes fatigue.
On the Job
Whether you are a healthcare professional or a warehouse foreman, do you find yourself sore and aching at the end of the day? Bending, lifting, reaching, sitting and repetitive motions can take a toll on the body. Aston-Patterning can show you how to use your body more effectively and efficiently, to lessen fatigue and keep you feeling vital throughout your day.
Family
Playing with your children, tossing them in the air, swinging them around - these are all wonderful movements of play and intimacy within a family. Using your body well keeps you from injuring yourself while doing the activities you love with your loved ones. Aston-Patterning helps you learn how to carry your children, play and even enjoy time together on the couch – all in a manner that keeps your body free from aches and pains.
Sports
Aston-Patterning can help you achieve a higher level of sports performance whether you are a weekend warrior or a professional athlete. Many of the performance limitations experienced in sports are functions of the way we use our bodies. An Aston-Patterning assessment takes a look at how you use your body within the activity and seeks to create optimum performance through the creation of proper alignment, appropriate muscle toning, and efficient body movement. Aston bodywork can bring your best body to your sport.
Injuries
When you fall down, break a bone, have surgery or other scarring, the injury makes a significant impact on the entire body. The body adjusts to the injury to help you move without pain or additional injury. Sometimes when the injury has healed, the body continues to protect itself. Aston-Patterning can help you break the cycle of injury created by this natural protective system. Aston-Patterning helps you neutralize the stress created in the tissues and learn to speed your recovery through specific body use, bodywork, ergonomics, and fitness.
Car
Driving for any length of time can make your body stiff or uncomfortable. Automobiles are made to an average body specification, but there are no average bodies. Aston-Patterning products and ergonomic training can help you tailor your car to fit your body.
