DAN WHITE
​During an operational tour with the British Army in 2012, I began experiencing sciatic pain down my left leg. Years of back and sciatic pain ensued and I was eventually diagnosed with Spondylolisthesis and a bi lateral pars defect of the L5 vertabrae, with spinal stenosis. After service with the military, I re-trained as a personal trainer as my passion was in fitness. Having my fitness goals hampered by my spinal fracture, I worked with numerous physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths which only masked the problem. Despite living an active lifestyle, I was tired of the pain and feeling held back by it. Feeling as though I had exhausted all options, I underwent an ALIF fusion with posterior fixation of L4-S1 in 2023. Post surgery, I engaged in functional movement training which has led to me living a pain-free life.
​
The surgery stabilised my spine, but I knew I needed to focus on my movement and trained to move my body correctly; without that, I feel the surgery would have been a waste of time. I can't help but wonder if surgery would have even been necessary if I engaged in functional movement training prior to surgery; I'll never know, but hopefully you will.
​
Functional Fusion was born out of frustration with the sub-standard rehabilitation options available to me, and I was inspired to provide people, like myself, with techniques that work

As well as being a qualified Level 3 Personal Trainer, I am also qualified in Level 4 Low Back Pain Management. Additionally, I have completed a diploma in Functional Movement Rehabilitation- The Spine.
