Stephen Maguire
Stephen is a Functional Patterns Human Biomechanics Specialist and personal trainer
- Human Biomechanics Specialist
- Higher Certificate in Physiology and Health Science
- ITEC Certified Personal Trainer
He grew up with a passion for health and fitness having been involved in sports from a young age.
This led him to choose to study Physiology and Sport Science at university, where he developed an even greater interest in the science of the human body.
Prior to finding Functional Patterns, Stephen trained using traditional strength training and yoga. Around 6 months after beginning, he started getting pain and injuries. At the time, he didn’t think anything of it because unfortunately, the health and fitness industry holds a “no pain, no gain” attitude, and feeling sore has become accepted.
He became unhappy with the solutions available to him, but thankfully, during this time Stephen discovered Functional Patterns and it changed the trajectory of his career. He began educating himself on the Functional Patterns training methodology and how humans have evolved to stand upright, walk, run and throw. The idea that we should base our training around these functions made complete sense to him and really changed how he looked at the body.
Fast-forward to today and Stephen has done multiple FP courses, he is a Human Biomechanics Specialist, is pain-free and in the best shape of his life.
“I want to help as many people as I can to get rid of their pains and injuries, move better and live a healthier life”.
