Chronic Pain Management
Chronic pain responds best to multidisciplinary care — movement, psychology, and daily function strategies together rather than in isolation.
Overview
Physiotherapy and exercise physiology restore safe movement. Psychology addresses fear-avoidance, sleep, and mood. OT adapts work and home activities when pain limits participation.
Movement with confidence
Graded exposure and pacing reduce disability without ignoring flare-ups.
Mind and body
Pain neuroscience education and CBT-style strategies complement hands-on care.
