RASHED TESTIMONIAL
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!”

Julia’s testimonial

“When I met Nikoletta , I was struggling with the effects of an old knee injury, poor posture from years of academic work, and chronic back and hip issues. I didn’t feel pain—but I moved with fear and avoided basic movements like squatting or sitting on the ground.
After just a few sessions, my posture improved, I felt stronger, and even swam faster than I had in 15 years. Colleagues noticed a change in me. That was thanks to Nikoletta.
Then, I suffered a serious head injury and paused training for over five months. When we resumed in March 2024, her care was crucial. Though I can no longer swim or train in a gym, I now walk faster and more confidently than a year ago.
I move without hesitation, trust my body, and have better awareness of how I stand and move. I couldn’t have done this alone. Nikoletta isn’t just a skilled trainer—she’s kind, patient, and deeply trustworthy.”

Rachel’s testimonial

“Being diagnosed with osteoporosis was a wake-up call. I’ve always been active, with years of strength training, so I followed my doctor’s advice to get back to it. But instead of feeling stronger, my right shoulder pain got worse, and my arm mobility declined stadely. It affected my sleep, my daily life, and my confidence.
I tried everything—stretching, physical therapy, but nothing worked. Then I met Nikoleta. After just a few online sessions, the shift was dramatic. My pain dropped from an 8 to a 3—and then, miraculously, disappeared. I could lift my arm overhead again with no tension or limitation.
Her approach is simple but powerful. With just a resistance band and targeted movements, she guided me through exercises that felt totally different- and surprisingly effective. That deep, chronic tension in my right deltoid? Gone. I feel more connected, mobile, and finally on the right path. Thank you, Nikoleta.”

BEFORE🛑 SHOULDER PAIN 6-7/10 🛑 LOWER BACK PAIN & SCIATICA 7/10
AFTER   ❇️PAIN FREE 0/10 SHOULDER, LOWER BACK & SCIATICA

“Fifteen years ago, I started experiencing lower back pain and sciatica, which worsened over time. I tried various treatments, but the results were always temporary. I also tore the supraspinatus tendon in my right shoulder, making daily activities difficult. In May 2024, I was diagnosed with three herniated discs in my lower back. I decided to try FP, and after 14 sessions, I was pain-free and could work 8 hours standing, lifting weights. My sleep quality improved, and my body awareness got better. With Nikoletta’s support and my commitment, FP helped me transform my life. I highly recommend it to anyone with musculoskeletal issues.”

BEFORE: 🛑RIGHT SHOULDER PAIN: 6–8/10, 🛑RIGHT HIP INSTABILITY–“CLICKING”, 🛑WEIGHTLIFTING
AFTER:   ❇️RIGHT SHOULDER NO PAIN: 0/10, ❇️RIGHT HIP STABILITY– NO MORE “CLICKING”, ❇️FP-FOCUSED ON BIOMECHANICS OPTIMISATION

Ricky’s Testimonial
“Before I started working with Nikoleta, I had intense pain in my right shoulder (6–8/10) and a constant ‘click’ in my right hip during simple, everyday movements (like squatting or bending). These issues were affecting my daily life and overall functionality. With just 1online session/week for 7 months, the pain disappeared and my hip became stable. Nikoleta is incredibly knowledgeable. She helped me understand the root causes of my issues and taught me how to train smarter. I used to lift a lot of weights, but now I train with a focus on proper function and decompression of the body. I feel like I’m regenerating rather than degenerating. As someone who renovates houses and has an active life, staying pain free is essential. I now feel stronger, I am totally pain-free, and fully in control of my body.
Thanks to Nikoleta, I feel more aligned, more capable, and more resilient.”
