How We Reduce Your Chronic Pain At Functional Patterns Surf Coast
-
We Find The Root Cause.
We see the entire body as an integrated system, not just a body of symptoms. We use gait (movement) and posture analysis to identify the root causes of chronic pain. We use integrated movements and a highly trained eye to correct the imbalances that lead to ongoing pain.
-
Lasting Results.
Most strategies for chronic pain reduction are only temporary. Trips to the physiotherapist or chiropractor often provide short term relief and tools such as stretching feel good only in the moment. Because our training method addresses the root cause, it provides lasting relief for years to come.
-
Real Results.
We pride ourself on achieving continual, meaningful results with our clients. You will never be ‘just a number.’ Our entire business model is based around getting excellent results and testimonials. If in doubt, take a look at Functional Patterns long list of case studies and before and afters.
“Pain Management Specialist Near Me”
Chronic pain can be relentless. Many suffers can spend years or even decades without finding lasting relief.
Functional Patterns Surf Coast has a proven track record as a pain control clinic using the Functional Patterns Method.
Looking for a pain specialist who gives clear answers and long-lasting relief? Schedule a consultation with a pain management specialist.
Our pain clinic analyses gait (walking/running) and posture to find the root cause of chronic pain. We then utilise highly specialised movement techniques to correct these root causes.
For example, pelvis and core instability are a common cause of lower back pain. This instability can be clearly seen while the patient is walking or running. This footage is then invaluable in treating the issue.
For instance, problems in the pelvis and core could be because of a lack of hip rotation. Or, perhaps it is a result of the glutes not firing correctly.
The fact is, until you film your movement and have it professionally assessed, you will never truly know where the pain is stemming from.
Your Chronic Pain Specialist needs to understand how your body works before starting treatment for your chronic pain. The relationship between your structure, muscle and fascia plays a major role in the development of chronic pain.
Our Chronic Pain Clinic prioritises movement based assessment and training to get a clear idea of the optimal treatment. Pain relief specialists may do assessments that don't show how well your body is working together.
Don't take our word for it, here are some chronic pain results from our clinic in Surf Coast, Geelong.

4 Month Chronic pain and Weight loss
“Much appreciation to Shane who trained me. After 3.5 years of chronic shoulder pain, pre and post surgery. I am now pain free and able to to do multiple reps, not just 2! 3.5 years of rehab does not compare to 4 months with fp!
This was not the only correction Shane made. With attention to detail he corrected many issues. I now walk and live my life more functionally, with intention and no more aches and pains!
Thank you Shane for always responding to my texts. You are a great support and mentor!”
Chronic Pain Eliminated Through Posture & Movement Correction
“I originally came to FP in early 2021 for a bad shoulder injury that was persistent despite the numerous visits to different physios. As a cricketer this took a severe toll on my ability to play cricket and bowl. Once Shane had identified the real problems with my posture and the way I move, he was able to set out and fix them, recommending I stop bowling for at least 6 months.
Coming back into bowling after that break there was a dramatic increase in comfort and overall ability to bowl. The main difference was my ability to bowl without pain, but also I was able to be a better bowler, bowling both faster and for longer periods.
Shane and FP have also helped with my ability to move in day to day life without pain. My overall well-being has drastically improved since joining FP and I look forward to seeing even more result in the future.
Thank you Shane and FP”
20 Years of Chronic Foot & Back Pain to Running Again
“I was introduced to FP by an Ex. Phys friend with an open mind. I have always followed traditional approaches to my training and movement patterns. My injury management has also been status quo.
I’ve had approx 20 FP sessions with Shane which has been a combination of release work and movement pattern training. I have not run for over 21 years and was forced to retire due to major ruptures of my plantar fascia in both feet. Two surgeons wouldn’t operate on me and one gave me a 5% chance of recovery post surgery.
I recall the Morning I woke after training and couldn’t walk to the toilet due to the pain in my feet. I was prescribed orthotics to manage my foot pain. I am far from achieving my goals, but I have been able to return to short interval running/walking sessions a few times per week, and feel more connected when I move.
I am not using my orthotics anymore. I’ve also seen a decrease in lower back pain when doing my other activities. I ride a bike because I couldn’t run so It’s nice to think I can incorporate running into my lifestyle going forward.
Cheers”
