Chronic pain
Pain that has lasted longer than three months often needs a different kind of physiotherapy — one that's patient with the body and works at a sustainable pace.
Chronic pain in plain language
Chronic pain — pain that has been around for three months or longer — is shaped by a lot more than just the original injury. Sleep, stress, fear of movement, and the body’s pain system itself all play a part. That means the work to help it settle is not the same as the work for an acute injury.
How we approach chronic pain
We take the time. The first session is more conversation than treatment, and the work that follows is built to fit you — what helps, what doesn’t, what you can sustain.
The water is often a useful starting place. The heated pool lets people move in ways that feel closed off on land — and that opening, repeated, is often where progress starts.
What you can expect
- A plan that is shaped to your situation, not a template.
- Honest conversation about what we can and can’t change.
- Sessions that build gradually rather than push you into flare-ups.
When to see your doctor
If your pain is new, suddenly worsening, or accompanied by other symptoms (fever, weight loss, neurological changes), please consult your medical doctor before starting physiotherapy. We are not a substitute for medical diagnosis.
