Chronic pain can be a debilitating condition, affecting an individual’s ability to carry out everyday activities and causing emotional distress. If you or a loved one is suffering from chronic pain, a chartered physiotherapist can help. Our physiotherapists are experts in providing bespoke, personalised treatment plans to help alleviate chronic pain.

  • Identify the cause of pain: The physiotherapist will assess the individual’s posture, movements, and other physical factors that may be contributing to the chronic pain.
  • Develop a personalised treatment plan: Based on the assessment, the physiotherapist will develop a personalised treatment plan that may include exercises, stretches, and other physical therapies to help alleviate the pain.
  • Provide pain-relieving techniques: Our physiotherapist will teach the individual techniques such as deep breathing, relaxation, and mindfulness to help manage the pain.
  • Advise on pain management: The physiotherapist will also advise on lifestyle changes, such as modifying work habits, using assistive devices and making the home environment safer to help reduce the pain.
  • Provide ongoing support: Our chartered physiotherapist will provide ongoing support and regular assessments to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
