Step One: To Recover from Chronic Pain - Take Control  

Pain can be disabling. Working with a physio who is compassionate, informed and open to what you are saying, will help.  As an experienced Specialist Physiotherapist, I have the knowledge and skills to help you understand the science behind what you feel. I have a range of techniques to specifically ease your pain and improve your movement. Correct information can reduce your fears.

• Gain control by understanding the science
• Learn to manage pain and your response to pain
• Learn to pace yourself back to activity without aggravating pain
• Discover how to return to an active life

Facts about Pain

• Acute injuries require prompt medical or physiotherapy assessment if they fail to heal within a few days. Severe multifactorial soft tissue injuries may take six to twelve weeks for full repair. The quality of repair improves with correct first aid and appropriate movement or protection.
• If you are overwhelmed by pain and your emotions are out of control, your recovery will be complicated and prolonged.
• Chronic or persistent pain is different to acute pain. It responds best to early accurate assessment with individually matched care.
• At In Touch Physiotherapy my treatment reflects current research, and actively involves you in the recovery process.
• We will set goals together based on your physical, social and work activities and specific needs.
• I measure progress to ensure we are achieving what we both want.
• Collaboration with your medical doctor or other practitioners may optimise your outcomes.
