Back Pain Auckland

I recieved back surgery 13 years ago and have put on weight and lost flexibility in the years since. I started seeing Shane one on one just over 6 months ago at 104kg with alot of physical discomfort, a complete inability to run and a hip surgery on the cards. The training program and dietary advice has built strength & given me a far greater range of motion & fitness. I now look forward to exercising! Frequently enter competitive bike races, run every week, have completed a trail running race and started playing tennis for the first time in over a decade. The surgery is no longer required, I feel better physically and mentally and now weigh 83kg. Thanks Shane!

I would suggest Shane to anyone who experiences lower back pain. I had severe back pain a week before due to a massage chair, I think it had severe intensity. When I reached Shane, I was barely able to bend down, with severe pain. Shane didn't address the pain immediately instead he went step by step leading to the pain and the simple exercises relieved my pain from 8/10 to almost 3/10 in two visits. I appreciate his knowledge and experience and the way he dealt with it. Thanks Shane.

After describing my lower back pain to Shane he explained in detail the unique approach of releasing the muscle tightness and tension with specific muscle activation techniques. After our first session I noticed a dramatic improvement and was able to mobilise more effectively without significant pain. His on going homework series of exercises helped to continue my range of motion and significantly reduced the associated pain. I'm pleased to say i'm now pain free and would not hesitate to recommend Shanes back pain services. Tim Flemmer - B.H.S.c RN

I cant recommend Shane at back pain aucks enough, he is a super friendly, motivational and respectful qualified health professional & PT. He runs a small gym at his house with a ridiculously low roof :p but he makes it work and it doesnt actually impact any of our training. Even as a 32yo woman, I have lived with my pain and a number of injuries long enough that I had succumbed to the fact that it was just a part of life now, and that i would never be able to do what I could a few years ago. It took a couple months for me to really get over the anxiety I didnt realise I had, and to believe the changes I was seeing in myself, it has changed my whole outlook and renewed my self confidence! Thank you Shane!! You have changed my life :) keep up the good work

5 stars all the way! I have scoliosis and have been to many doctors, chiropractors, ostheos in the past 8 years.. nothing seemed to help and pain was only getting worse, surviving on codeine, a GP almost convinced me the only way would be a spine surgery (very scary). Luckily I found Shane and decided to try his approach, for my surprise with just a few sessions my pain is now almost zero (no brace or invasive treatment needed). Numbness & inflammation are also gone (it feels surreal to even say that), and not taking any pain killers since our second session. I'm forever grateful for him. My spine & shoulders responded so much better to his gentle exercises and I realized you don't need to force your body to be able to heal. Shane is a great professional, respectful, kind human and so empathetic. Don't give up on your back issues before trying his treatment, highly recommended!
