Back Pain Auckland

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

I have competed in sport at the highest level overseas before suffering a ruptured dusk in my back. Following surgery, Shane has worked with me to rehabilitate and strengthen my back to give me confidence in whatever I might pursue next.He listens and works with you, providing instruction and support; delivering a program with dynamic exercises that strengthen the core , inclusive of all those small hard to reach muscle groups. I am now pain free cannot speak highly enough of Shane. He focuses on proper technique to safely workout and target specific areas.Cannot speak highly enough of Shane. He is the best trainer I have had.

I’ve suffered with increasingly worsening lower back pain for about six years. My movement was becoming progressively limited, and my back pain was front-of-mind most of the day.I started seeing Shane five weeks ago, and for the first time in years I feel like I’ve finally hit a turning point where my pain has started to reduce.Before our first session, I was skeptical that Shane might be just another trainer who could potentially make things worse. But I was pleasantly surprised by his in-depth understanding of back pain. He really knows his stuff – from the subtle physical causes of back pain to the complexities of the musculoskeletal system and the importance of the mind-body connection.What impressed me the most was Shane's comprehensive and unhurried initial assessment. He took the time to identify my unique weaknesses in the muscle groups supporting my back. We've been working on activating and strengthening those muscles and the improvement was noticeable after just a few sessions.I’d highly recommend his service to anyone with back pain.

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.

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.

I have been struggling with back pain for a significant period of time, but thanks to this exceptional Physiotherapist, Shane, my everyday life has become pain-free. Shane's exercises have been incredibly effective in alleviating my discomfort and improving my quality of life. What sets Shane apart is not only his expertise but also his friendly and approachable nature. He goes above and beyond to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. Shane's unwavering dedication to helping his patients get back on track is truly commendable. I am immensely grateful for his guidance and highly recommend him to anyone seeking relief from back pain.

I have been having lower back pain for the past 6 months and I have tried multiple physios, acupuncture and TCM in Auckland as well as in overseas and nothing really works. The problem worsened over time and the pain radiated to my hips and down the legs. I could not sit for more than 10min without pain on my lower back and hips.I found Shane on Google and thought I would give it a try before I go to see chiropractor. Things started to change and improved after I tried those exercises that Shane recommended. My lower back and hip pains are 90% gone and I am able to return to gym like a normal person again!Thanks Shane. You are fantastic!

Have had lower back pain for a couple years and have seen everyone from chiropractors to osteopaths and no one has really got to the bottom of things like Shane has. Would highly recommend to anyone experiencing lower back pain. My backs not giving me anymore grieve after seeing him. Very hands on and great to work with. Thanks again Shane!

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!
