Stop Treating Pain. Change What’s Causing It.

“I suffered from chronic back pain for over 10 years. It became so bad that I had to stop playing badminton altogether, and I honestly thought I'd never be able to play again. I've now been training with Shane for over a year, and it has completely changed the way I think about movement, exercise, and how I use my body in everyday life. It has definitely been a team effort, but Shane has been incredibly patient and knowledgeable, helping me understand where my dysfunctions were, why they were happening, and how to correct them. He took the time to explain every exercise and gave me the confidence to keep progressing. Today, after more than a year of Functional Patterns work with Shane, I am pain-free and back on the badminton court. The journey has transformed me not only physically but mentally as well. I'm still working towards becoming an even better version of myself, but the progress I've made has been great. If you're tired of chasing short-term fixes and want to invest in your long-term health, I can't recommend Functional Patterns and Shane enough. It's more than just treating pain—it's about building a body that functions the way it's meant to.”

“I started seeing Shane because I had lower back and hip tightness and I’ve been training with him for about a year. In that time my posture has improved significantly and I feel like I can do all the things I like doing with far less discomfort. Doing more standard workouts only seem to aggravate the issues but exercises with Shane are great and I feel much better (more aligned and moving properly) after even just one session. Highly recommend seeing Shane if you want to improve anything physically/functionally! He has a wealth of knowledge and patience to work it out with you.”

“Started Functional Patterns 9 months ago after dealing with recurring niggles. Since starting I’ve trained for and completed an Ironman without any injuries or niggles. I feel stronger, move better, and recover way easier than I used to. The training feels purposeful compared to a lot of traditional gym stuff I’ve done before. Definitely one of the best investments I’ve made in my health and performance. Thanks Shane”

“I’ve been working with Shane for over a year. I came to him for help with kyphosis and the significant movement dysfunction it had created. I knew I needed a different way of thinking about my body and how I move if I wanted to stay active and pain-free as I get older. Over the years, I’d tried countless approaches and lost track of how many people simply told me to “stand up straight.” Shane took a completely different approach. He broke down my specific dysfunctions in a way I could actually understand. We’ve been progressively rebuilding my movement patterns and retraining the right muscles to do their job. It’s not an overnight fix as we are undoing years of dysfunction but I feel the difference every day. If you’re serious about improving how your body moves and want a long-term approach, I can’t recommend Shane highly enough.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Shane. I came in looking for answers to wrist, back and neck pain after trying other many treatments that didn’t quite give me long term relief. The knowledge I’ve gained through working with Shane has been priceless, and I now feel much more equipped with the tools to self-manage my body and stay pain-free. Continuing to work with Shane while pregnant has also been really empowering. It feels great knowing I’m giving myself the best care possible by keeping my biomechanics on track. Highly recommend Shane to anyone looking for real change!”

“After years of chronic hip and back pain I finally feel like I’m making genuine improvements, Shane is dedicated to his craft and the insights you gain from learning how to move your body through space efficiently and correctly will help anyone who is looking to reduce / eliminate pain, build confidence, sleep better, boost energy levels and enjoy a life of higher quality physical capability - which helps every other aspect of your life!”

“I was dealing with shoulder pain for over a year. I had tried a handful of different therapies and training methods that only offered short term relief. I visited Shane at Functional Patterns Surf Cost and within a handful of sessions had learned and progressed so much. I’ve learnt what good posture is, and how my body should be moving. My shoulder, and body in general, is in a much better state now. I would definitely recommend for anyone dealing with an ongoing injury.”

“Working with Shane has helped me so much, from no longer having back pain and headaches to feeling stronger and more positive towards exercising and future proofing my physical health. I highly recommend working with Shane and doing biomechanics as your main form of exercise.”

“I had intense knee pain for years and saw multiple physios that never really helped. After only a month of seeing Shane my knee pain was gone and we worked on exercises to correct my posture and gait and have me moving correctly to stop that pain coming back. 6 months later I was back playing football and boxing again pain free. I can now move better and I am able to exercise more regularly at 34 than I did at 27”
