“I started Functional Patterns after 15 years of trying to fix physical issues caused by Ankylosing Spondylitis. I tried yoga, Pilates, cycling, swimming, strength training, acupuncture, rheumatology, and countless physios and chiropractors — none delivered lasting improvements in my pain, mobility, strength, or wellbeing.

I came to Mark in a bad mental and physical state, resentful of my body and stuck in an exercise mindset that was causing pain, not solving it.”

I stuck with FP and started seeing physical results, not just in my training per se, it also affected my movement outside in the ‘real world’. I stopped putting my back out, gained a lot of strength and physical confidence.

“My son started weekly training with Alana because we were concerned about his pectus excavatum. In the last 8 months we’ve seen a massive change!

His pectus is noticeably less depressed, he stands taller, moves better, and has grown so much stronger both physically and in his confidence.

It’s been really encouraging to see how much progress Anthony has made, and we’re so thankful for the help and support Alana has given him!”

“I had severe back pain for almost 15 years and felt numb in my leg all the time. I tried personal trainers, reformer Pilates, and massages, however I still had the pain; especially in my back, neck and shoulder.

I’ve been doing FP for over a year now with Jonathan and all the pain is gone. I was unable to walk for more than 5 minutes without pain and numbness. The pain level is now 0 / 10. I’m so glad that l’ve tried FP and fixed my posture.

Thanks for your professional manner and patience during our sessions which made me more confident and disciplined”

“Before FP I was working out 3-4 times a week doing rope skipping, HIIT and yoga. No matter how much I exercised, I never felt very strong or fit and every now and again I suffered from random pains in my back or neck.

I’ve been doing 1 FP session a week for 2 years now and I’ve never felt stronger and generally have way more energy. Catalina’s been an amazing guide and her meticulous instructions have helped me achieve improved posture and more tension in the right places, giving me results much quicker than I expected.”
