Functional Patterns Minnesota

I can't say enough good things about Functional Patterns Minnesota, and especially about Nick.This past Mother's Day fell a few days after my assessment, just before I started training with Nick. After brunch I went shopping with my kids, and my thoracic back pain was so severe that I could barely make it 20 minutes around the store. I felt completely defeated. I honestly wondered whether I would ever get better.At that point my pain was usually a 7 or 8 out of 10. On more physically active days, like travel, it reached a 10. By the end of the day, standing was unbearable. Even sitting at the dinner table was unbearable. I had seen multiple chiropractors and doctors, x-rays, and I had started looking into whether surgery might help. Then, almost by chance, I came across Functional Patterns. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I felt I had nothing to lose.Last week, four months into training with Nick, I traveled with my own backpack for the first time in more than two years. I handled my own luggage, lifted it into the overhead bin, sat through the flight, and arrived without pain. When I realized I wasn't hurting, I almost cried.Nick has helped me make progress I wasn't sure was possible. I'm truly grateful. Training with Nick has been life-changing for me.
