I was diagnosed with bulging discs at L4, L5, S1, and C4-C5.I avoid surgery, but the symptoms were unbearable. I had constant pain in my lower back and along my sciatic nerve, with numbness in my arms. I couldn’t tolerate the pain and often woke up in the middle of the night. I tried everything—personal training, physio, chiropractic care, massage—but nothing truly helped. It was a vicious cycle of pain, both physically and mentally exhausting. Then, I found Functional Patterns and contact with Nicole. I started the 10week online course as she recommended and 1-1 sessions when I moved to Athens. Within the first few sessions, I noticed significant improvements: I slept through the night again, the pain drastically reduced, and the numbness in my arms completely gone.My sciatic nerve pain improved significantly. Functional Patterns has given me my life back, allowing me to be healthy and support my family. Nicole and Functional Patterns, thank you so much!”
