Facing hip surgery after years of Olympic weightlifting, I rebuilt my body with Functional Patterns instead, now in the best shape of my life, I help others do the same.

My athletic journey began in high school athletics, leading me to Olympic weightlifting to enhance my performance. Finding success in the sport, I focused solely on weightlifting for 3-4 years. However, this dedication eventually led to debilitating hip pain and a cascade of peripheral injuries. Two years of unsuccessful rehabilitation left me mentally drained and facing a recommendation for hip surgery.

Seeking solutions, I consulted physiotherapists, chiropractors, podiatrists, and osteopaths to no avail. A friend then recommended Functional Patterns (FP), and I was immediately struck by the methodical and effective nature of the training sessions. Progress was gradual but compounded over time, and I am now in the best physical condition of my life.

Through the process of resolving my own hip issues and other problems, I’ve gained a new understanding of the body and our approach to movement. I am passionate about helping individuals who have faced similar struggles, as well as those simply seeking to optimise their performance.
