I’ve been working with Shane for over a year. I came to him for help with kyphosis and the significant movement dysfunction it had created. I knew I needed a different way of thinking about my body and how I move if I wanted to stay active and pain-free as I get older.Over the years, I’d tried countless approaches and lost track of how many people simply told me to “stand up straight.” Shane took a completely different approach. He broke down my specific dysfunctions in a way I could actually understand.We’ve been progressively rebuilding my movement patterns and retraining the right muscles to do their job. It’s not an overnight fix as we are undoing years of dysfunction but I feel the difference every day.If you’re serious about improving how your body moves and want a long-term approach, I can’t recommend Shane highly enough.

Shane Delange, within the last two years, you and functional patterns have turned my life around. No longer am I stressed and consumed by chronic pain. Your passion and genuine interest in helping me has been phenomenal. Thank you so much!

I had been searching for ways to correct my posture and movement patterns to manage ongoing back pain that I’d been dealing with for a long time. I was genuinely worried that if I didn’t change something then joint replacements or surgery might be something I’d have to face in the future.I discovered Functional Patterns through YouTube and Instagram, I followed the founder Naudi Aguilar and some other FP practitioners, initially just trying to replicate what I saw online and saw some improvements but was still needing more. I then completed the 10-week online course, which was also great but I felt there was still more to gain. I then found Shane and his facility near me through mutual friends who recommended him. I decided to see if working with him could deliver on what FP promised, or at the very least help with my back pain.Once I started working with Shane, I was pleasantly surprised by how many improvements were still possible, and that over time we were consistently making them. Shane’s hands-on approach to correcting the system of my movement patterns and posture has significantly reduced my back issues, allowing me to move freely without constant discomfort.What surprised me most was how this work also resolved a long-standing shoulder issue that I hadn’t even mentioned initially. I didn’t expect such comprehensive improvements, but Shane’s expertise in biomechanics, attention to detail, and personalised guidance made a big difference. He was able to identify and help me correct many small details I couldn’t see on my own. I now feel stronger and more robust in my daily life, and my body feels more resilient and better than it ever has.

I've trained with Shane at Functional Patterns Surf Coast for around 8 months. It's a very different type of training than I've done in the past, and that's what intrigued me. I was having issues with my lower back, and general aches and pains after pregnancy.Shane is patient, detailed, thorough and passionate in FP and helping people move better without pain. He focuses on what your body needs and teaches you how best to move your body and trains you so you can solve your issues, not just treat them. It's not a quick journey but I've found being patient, especially with the basics, and committed makes a world of difference to how I feel. I feel stronger overall, and my lower back pain is pretty much non existent now.

I’ve had scoliosis all my life and when I enquired with Shane I was also suffering from a long term brain injury (post concussion syndrome). I was told that it was impossible to improve my scoliosis without surgery; however in six months, Shane helped me functionally and visibly straighten my spine, thus reducing pain and increasing mobility. My spine actually decompressed and lengthened, giving me an additional 2cm on my height. I found training with Shane also contributed to healing my brain injury symptoms including recovering my vestibular coordination, my sense of balance and proprioception. During 2 years of COVID lockdown, I wasn’t able to attend functional patterns training at all. Even during this time, my spine remained straightened and did not go back to the curve it was before. I can see on my body that the improvements are permanent and life changing, and will help prevent further pain and mobility issues when I am older.
