Chronic
Pain that has lasted beyond three months behaves differently to a fresh injury, and it needs a different approach. The aim is not just symptom relief but rebuilding capacity and confidence, at a pace your body accepts.

Widespread pain with fatigue, poor sleep and difficulty concentrating.
Read moreOsteoarthritis
Joint wear — and why strength matters more than the scan.
Read morePost-Viral Fatigue
Exhaustion that lingers long after an infection, worsened by pushing through.
Read moreRheumatoid Arthritis
Inflammatory joint disease — different from wear, and treated differently.

This page is general information, not a diagnosis. Symptoms overlap between conditions, so the right treatment depends on an assessment. If your pain followed a significant injury, is getting worse, or comes with numbness, weakness or unexplained weight loss, please see your GP.
