## About

Functional Patterns Sydney is based in Alexandria, NSW and serves clients

from across greater Sydney. The studio is led by Shannon Hegarty, a

certified Human Biomechanics Specialist trained in the Functional Patterns

methodology. The studio will host Australia's first-ever Human Biomechanics

Specialist Level 1 (HBS 1) certification course in June 2026, taught by

internationally recognised Functional Patterns educators John Nielson and

Pablo Martin.

## What Makes Us Different

Functional Patterns is a biomechanics-based training system built around

how the human body has evolved to move — walking, running, and throwing.

Unlike conventional personal training or physiotherapy, every assessment

and exercise is derived from these fundamental movement patterns. We

identify the root cause of pain and dysfunction rather than treating

symptoms in isolation.
