PAIN-FREE IN HIS 50’s - CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Jorge came to Functional Patterns Dublin in May 2024. He was experiencing pain in his right ankle, his left knee, his left shoulder and his lower back. He had been having these issues for the previous 2-3 years.
He tried lots of other physiotherapists to try and solve these problems but nothing ever worked long term. Within a few months he was pain free and then we continued to put the work in to improve his posture and his gait and make his structure stronger.
Jorge likes running for his fitness, but it had started to cause him pain. Now, he is able to run pain free again. His structure/posture is much more aligned and stable and this allows him to function pain free on a daily basis, even with his job and everyday tasks.
Jorge has been a great client and a prime example of what can be achieved when someone really wants to solve their problems. He is humble and always shows up to the sessions ready to learn. He asks questions because he wants to understand his issues and what he needs to do to solve them. He always trains hard and puts in the work and home so that he can continue to improve. This is the mindset that people need if they want to get results! 💯
Looking forward to making more improvements with Jorge 💪
