From Broken to Biomechanically Sound: Michael’s Journey with Functional Patterns

For years, Michael was stuck in a cycle of pain and frustration. As a once-athletic kid, he never imagined that by 22, he’d be dealing with chronic hip pain, recurring back issues, and foot pain that no amount of therapy could fix. Like many, he followed the mainstream fitness path—excessive running, Olympic weightlifting, and conventional training methods—only to end up physically broken.

He tried everything to get better. Nothing worked. The downward spiral didn’t just affect his body; it took a toll on his mental health too. Then he found FP.

He didn’t get a miracle. He got something better—a methodical, results-driven system that actually solved the problems at their root. No gimmicks. No random exercises. Just a structured approach that respects how humans are built to move.

Now, after two and a half years of FP training, Michael feels better than ever. The pain that once seemed inescapable is gone. His movement is more efficient, his body more resilient, and his mind sharper. His journey proves a simple truth: When you train with precision and respect human biomechanics, real transformation happens.

Great work here by @fiachra_eviston @fp_melbourne Stop chasing symptoms. Start fixing the root cause. Move better. Live better.
