“I have been training with Functional Patterns Melbourne for approx 8 months now, and in this short period of time I have felt a substantial difference in the way I feel, move and even think in relation to making biomechanical changes on my body. I've put my body through a lot in my life, basketball, conventional weight lifting and being a furniture removalist for about 5 years led to a series of neck, back and chronic fatigue issues. Credit to my trainer Steve, he has been tremendous in teaching me how to solve my issues while pushing me to be a better person.”

“I've been training with Steve at Functional Patterns for a little while now, and the results have been incredible. I originally started the sessions due to ongoing lower back pain from years of playing sports like soccer, basketball, and tennis. Since focusing on Functional Patterns, not only has my back pain significantly reduced, but I also feel far more in control of my body during sport. The movements feel more fluid and natural, and I'm recovering so much better after playing.”
★★★★★
“I was an athlete for 13 years in the past, dealing with different kinds of physio and training but strangely I always had pains and discomfort in my body. Also, my body parts developed in an uneven way. Functional Patterns changed my mind about the human body, how it functions and works together. Now I get training without any fear of pain or misusing my muscles. I'm very grateful that FP is in Melbourne.”
