OUR MISSION
People are living with lower back pain, and receiving treatment that is only masking or temporarily relieving their symptoms; this isn't fair, and is a waste of time and energy. Functional fusion's primary aim is to arm people with the knowledge and power to live a pain-free life.

DAN WHITE
Owner, trainer, spinal fusion recipient
​
During an operational tour with the British Army in 2012, I began experiencing sciatic pain down my left leg. Years of back and leg pain ensued and I was eventually diagnosed with Spondylolisthesis and a bi lateral pars defect of the L5 vertabrae. 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. 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 pain-free.
​
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.
