Years of back, knee and foot pain but nothing seemed to work.
By 28, Kieran had already spent years trying physiotherapy, searching for answers and getting nowhere. The pain had become something he just accepted as part of life.
Today he hasn’t had a niggle in 6 months.
A Case of Chronic Pain That Didn’t Respond to Traditional Treatment, Until the Right System was Applied.
Kieran started having thoracic pain at 16 years of age. By 20, he had developed chronic pain is his right foot and knee. He spent an enormous amount of time and money going to physios, physical therapists, and trainers looking for answers but never got any lasting relief or clarity as to why these issues were happening.
“By 23 I had accepted my fate and was living with pain, feeling let down and without hope. My work as a carpenter was becoming more and more difficult and by 28 the pain had become increasingly worse. I knew at this point that I had to go searching for answers again. That’s when I found Functional Patterns and things began to change.
I started with the Functional Patterns 10 week online course and booked a session with the guys here in FP Dublin. I remember feeling relieved after the initial assessment as I finally felt I had found the right place.
I made steady progress from the outset. Pain levels reduced all over my body, and I was able to enjoy the simple things again. Fast forward 3 years and I haven’t had a niggle in my body for the past 6 months.
Becoming a Practitioner
It might seem like a long road, but considering my starting point and 10 plus years of pain, I’ve been blown away by what Functional Patterns can do. So much so that I have since completed my Human Foundations course, and HBS Level one in order to qualify myself to help others avoid the pitfalls that I went through.
I still have a lot of things to improve, but am excited to push the needle as far as it will go, and I am forever grateful to be living life pain free again.”
