Functional Patterns Human Biomechanics Specialist

STEVIE MENZIES

I was born in Bellshill, North Lanarkshire , Scotland. Long term fitness and sport enthusiast that is passionate about all things health and wellness. I now live in South Shields, Tyne and Wear and have been here since 2003

Throughout my life I have been active either by playing Football, Badminton or any other sports. I have never been known for strength or power and I was always one of the smallest in both Primary and high school. I struggled with my diet and was fussy with what i ate right up until i was around 22 years old when i found myself training in the local college gym

I stepped into the world of bodybuilding and trained in that way for around 15 years. Then over the years I developed my own training plans that were influenced by Calisthenics, Yoga, Crossfit and Bodybuilding. Basically anything that stressed my body to the physical limit. I must admit I felt great for a short time and feeling really confident then things started to get worse for me. I had pain in my hip then other injuries and strains started to pop up around my body. This led to depression and stress (i also worked in a gym environment) and no matter how hard i tried to get into shape ½ months into training pain would appear again.

In 2018 i came across Functional Patterns on youtube, noticing CEO and founder Naudi doing cool stuff i began to imitate the movements. This lead me to watch more and more of his videos and as i result lead me to buy the POWER OF POSTURE book and the 10 WEEK COURSE. Couple years afterwards I attended the Human Foundations Course in London (2018) and Completed by Human Biomechanics Specialists Level 1 course in Kauai, Hawaii (2019). Doing these courses helped me out of pain and enjoying sport and exercise without the anxiety feeling of joint pain. This also help me be more successful with people dealing with joint pain and helped a wide range of clients reach their wellness goals.

My belief is that your body is capable of regenerating itself to be a better you, with Functional Patterns training and improved lifestyle habits you can enjoy a better life.
