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.
What we treat
- Persistent lower back and neck pain
- Widespread pain and fibromyalgia
- Osteoarthritis-related pain
- Pain following an injury that has not settled
- Work-related and compensable injuries
- Recurrent flare-ups without a clear trigger
Signs and symptoms
- Pain lasting longer than three months
- Flare-ups that seem out of proportion to activity
- Poor sleep, fatigue and reduced tolerance for activity
- Avoiding movements for fear of causing damage
- Frustration after treatments that have not held
How we treat it
- Pain education so the plan makes sense to you
- Graded activity and paced loading
- Strength and conditioning built around your goals
- Hydrotherapy for gentler early loading
- Coordination with your GP and wider care team
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.
