@fp_sydney RESULTS from @catalina_ghisso 🔥
• • •
Lauren is a musician, working long hours teaching and performing. Before FP she was active, training 3-4 times per week with skipping, HIIT and yoga. Lauren reported a lack of energy and lack overall tension in her body.
She started FP in Sept 2023 with Davide Marsala who laid the foundations of FP she then started training with me in August 2024. She has been consistently training once a week, does her homework, and applies FP principles to everyday movements.
Before FP her pain scores were 5/10 in her neck and 6/10 in her back during a flare up. Now her neck and back pain rarely get past a 2/10 during flare ups that now infrequent.
Since doing FP her posture and gait has improved. She is able to run pain free and was able to reach a speed of 18km/hr in the second video.
‘Before I came to FP I was working out 3-4 times a week doing skipping with weighted ropes, HIIT and yoga. No matter how much I exercised, I never felt very strong or fit and every now and again I suffered from random pains in my back or neck. I’ve been doing FP for about 2 years now and even with a 1 hour session a week at FP, I’ve never felt stronger and generally have way more energy. Catalina’s been an amazing guide and her meticulous instructions have helped me achieve improved posture and more tension in the right places, giving me results much quicker than I expected.’
Lauren has been a very responsive client that takes on the information and applies it to reality. It has been a rewarding experience to watch Lauren’s progress and I look forward to seeing her continue to gain with FP. @laurentsamouras 💪🏽

Jacqui began training at Functional Patterns Sydney on November 22, 2024 training consistently with me @fp_sydney 2-3 times per week, seeking answers and solutions to her ongoing physical pain and discomfort. She reported experiencing overall discomfort, with her neck pain often reaching levels of 7-8 out of 10. With a history of multiple surgeries, scoliosis and injuries, her discomfort was exacerbated by these prior conditions.
Before starting her training with me, Jacqui was practicing yoga regularly (2-3 times per week) and visiting a chiropractor on a consistent basis. Since adopting the elimination protocol and training exclusively FP methods with me from November 2024, her pain has significantly reduced.
Her current pain level is approximately 1 out of 10, limited to her neck. Jacqui’s progress reflects a meaningful improvement in her physical well-being through the FP approach.
“I’m learning so much about how my body *should* work, fueling my motivation to keep pushing forward.”
❌ abdominal distension
❌ protracted cranium
❌ kyphosis
❌ pelvis rotated left
❌ chronic pain @7-8
❌ Shoulders compressed
❌ inflamed
❌ struggling to sleep
✅ better abdominal engagement
✅ cranium stacking improved
✅ thoracic spine extended
✅ pelvis neutral
✅ pain reduction @1/10
✅ shoulder position improved
✅ inflammation reduced
✅ sleep improved

@functionalpatterns 3 MAJOR CAUSES OVERLOOKED WITH SHOULDER PAIN 💊
• • •
Shoulder pain doesn’t start at the shoulder. It starts with the systems that regulate your entire body.
Here are 3 major causes most people overlook:
1. Caffeine
Disrupting the HPA axis with stimulants like caffeine leads to chronically elevated cortisol. That dehydrates your fascia and throws off how muscles coordinate during movement. Instead of firing in unison, your system fragments, and your shoulders end up working overtime.
2. Bench Press
The anatomy of the shoulder is built for rotation, the kind we use in running and throwing. Pressing is a secondary function. The bench press locks the shoulder into a rigid, linear path, often overloading the joint and disconnecting it from thoracic integration. No wonder it’s one of the most common injury-inducing lifts in the gym.
3. Overstretching
Stretching muscles into passivity might feel relieving in the moment, but it teaches your body to go flaccid and disconnected. That means less control, less tension, and more vulnerability in your joints when you move.
Most people treat shoulder pain where it hurts. We treat it where it starts.

DAVID, CHRONIC PAIN AND GAIT IMPROVEMENTS
@davidarthurrey is a landscaper. Not only is his job physically demanding but he is 6ft 6in so to not have structural integrity in a frame that long is very hard on the body. He travels at least 2 hours to Sydney and 2 hours home for our sessions. He’s a FP certified HF practitioner twice over and to say he’s committed to solving his problems seems an understatement to me. Please read on.
“Before discovering FP, I was caught in a cycle of breaking down and rebuilding my body using traditional methods. My experience with conventional weightlifting left me with severe lower back pain and shoulder issues, and I realized that pushing through the pain wasn’t the solution. After my first session with Shannon, it became clear that my body wasn’t functioning properly and needed significant work.
I had tried sports physiotherapy, where at one point they used electrode pads on my glutes to try activate them. I also spent a lot of time stretching while weightlifting, often spending 2-3 hours a day at the gym, six days a week. Despite this, I couldn’t feel my glutes or anything else when running, and driving sometimes made my back pain unbearable.
Additionally, I would frequently roll my ankle causing intense pain afterward, but now I no longer experience ankle pain. I also used to suffer from nerve pain that radiated from my left scapula down my arm, which has since disappeared”.
Before (April 2022)
❌ chronic back pain 8/10
❌ Radiating Nerve pain in left shoulder 8/10
❌ Frequently rolled ankles/pain 9/10
❌ Lumbar and hips unstable
❌ Poor glute/lat/core development and connectivity
❌ Limited hip flexion/extension
❌ Very poor gait mechanics
❌ Anxiety 7/10
After (April 2025)
✅ back pain 0 to 3/10
✅ Pain in left shoulder 0/10
✅ Ankle pain 0/10 (don’t roll ankles anymore)
✅ Lumbar/hips more stable. Increased elastic recoil
✅ Better glute/lat/core recruitment
✅ Increased hip flexion/extension
✅ Big increase in gait efficiency
✅ Anxiety 2 to 4/10

TUGCE, CHRONIC LOWER BACK PAIN IMPROVEMENTS at @fp_sydney
“I used to struggle with severe lower back pain and rounded shoulders due to long hours at the office. Some days, the pain was unbearable. I did a couple of years of yoga and Pilates 2021 to 2023 and was ready to do anything to fix the pain.
After meeting Shannon and starting training with Functional Patterns (FP) principles, the results were remarkable. The pain began to subside quickly, and my posture improved significantly. Beyond that, I’ve gained muscle, strength, and, most importantly, a sense of comfort in my own body that I hadn’t experienced before.
Shannon’s guidance and expertise have been life-changing. I can’t recommend FP training and Shannon enough for anyone looking to improve their posture, strength, and overall well-being.”
Before (April 2023)
❌scapula winging and rounded shoulders
❌ Poor intra abdominal pressure, thoracic and glute tension
❌Compressed ribs
❌Hyper extended knees
❌ Lateral rib shift
❌ Lower back pain 8/10

@functionalpatterns CAFFEINE ☕️☕️☕️❌
• • •
Caffeine gives you energy today by stealing it from tomorrow. It is only a matter of time before more people start seeing this stimulant for the harmful drug that it is.
Every time you stimulate your body without the right inputs, you desensitize the very receptors that regulate energy naturally. Over time, the body stops responding to real signals like sunlight, movement, and sleep, and becomes addicted to artificial cues instead.
This is why it is common for people to feel completely useless once they stop using caffeine. It is like putting fuel into an engine that is already burnt out.
We are seeing the consequences of this biological disruption everywhere. Hormonal dysfunction, attention deficits, and even conditions like autism are on the rise. Borrowing energy with stimulants is breaking human biology at the deepest level, and it shows up in the way people move, think, and feel every day.
If you want to rebuild your energy at the source, start with our @10weekonlineprogram.
It teaches your body to establish a baseline of postural and movement competence that allows you to train more often and with less pain, giving you the energy you need to raw dog life.

@functionalpatterns HOW TO STRENGTHEN PELVIC FLOOR
• • •
When most people try to strengthen the pelvic floor, the most important element they overlook is rotation. They don’t address how the muscles of the trunk coordinate with everything below at the hips.
This is why most approaches to fixing pelvic floor dysfunction are incomplete, and why kegels often do very little to build lasting strength and stability in this area.
Your core is designed with multiple layers of musculature that work together as a unified system:
• Deep: pelvic floor, psoas, transverse abdominis
• Middle: internal obliques, multifidi, diaphragm
• Superficial: external obliques, lats, pecs
These layers operate like an elevator counterweight system. When one side moves up, the other moves down.
Here’s the problem:
Traditional pelvic floor exercises like kegels, bridges, and isolated contractions mostly target the deep layer without addressing how the rest of the system needs to rotate and create upward lift with the body.
When you only train with linear exercises like deadlifts, squats, and bridges, you do not tap into the spiral motions that stabilize the pelvis from above. These exercises have their place, but without rotation, they leave major gaps.
Why rotation matters:
Our bodies are built to rotate when moving through space, think about how we walk and run. This rotational force creates a tornado effect that naturally lifts and reinforces the core cylinder, including the pelvic floor.
Rotational training engages all three layers at once:
• Deep muscles stabilize
• Middle layers create dynamic tension
• Superficial layers generate force
This spiraling action builds true core strength and pelvic floor integrity better than more isolated exercises ever could.
Exercises to incorporate:
• Step Back Row
• Step Press
• Transverse Twist
• RG Bar movements
• RG Bell rotational throws
We cover the fundamentals of these movements in our @10weekonlineprogram, and @functionaltraining.system.
Your pelvic floor wasn’t meant to work in isolation. Train it the way your body was built to move.

@_shannonhegarty @fp_sydney POSTURE IS MISSING LINK IN MANAGING YOUR ANXIETY 👀
• • •
Want to address your anxiety? Start looking to fix your biomechanics.
Your posture is the missing link in managing your anxiety.
Most people don’t realize that posture and anxiety are deeply connected. Misalignment can lead to a dysregulated emotional state.
The way you hold your posture (how you move) impacts how your body functions which gives direct feedback to how you think, feel, and handle stress daily.

@functionalpatterns ROTATION IS CATCHING ON 🌪️💪🏽
• • •
The powerful @joerogan is on the rotational gain train with pulleys. He did a great job breaking down the benefits, and how these types of exercises helped alleviate some lower back strain he was dealing with.
If you want to be strong and move without pain, then mastering rotation is essential to your training. It’s what enables the body to create upward lift during motions like standing, walking, running, and throwing.
These movements help you lengthen, stabilize, and produce force from the spine out. They also help you recover from the effects of dysfunctional compression or compensation.
Roughly 95 to 99 percent of your training should have some kind of transverse rotation built into it. Why? Because our evolution depended on that plane of motion. Without it, we wouldn’t move the way we do. It’s essential.
