Chronic Pain Treatment

Body In Mind Physio offers specialised services for chronic pain. This involves pain in the body that persists longer than 12 weeks. 

Ben and Josh conduct comprehensive assessments looking for mechanical drivers of pain such as reduced range of motion, strength in an area whilst also taking time to appreciate the nervous system sensitisation that often accompanies chronic pain. Ben and Josh will use a combination of manual therapy techniques and exercise prescription to assist you with starting to move better. Improving movement progressively brings opportunity for pain reduction leading to an improved quality of life.

What we remember is that every chronic pain case is individual and unique. During your first session we will take a deep look into how this started, what aggravates, what may relieve the pain and devise a management plan that is specific to the individual in the context of their lives. Chronic pain has ups and downs and the nervous system has a large role in this. We use a combination of manual therapy, exercise prescription and education to re-wire the nervous system and the structures at play to gradually handle more over time. We look to empower individuals to have exercises for home that make a real difference to their pain in real time.
