Chronic Pain
Pain that lasts beyond healing time is a different problem from acute injury, and it needs a genuinely different approach to treat well.
Also called:Persistent pain, Long-term pain, Pain that will not settle
What it feels like
- Pain lasting more than three months
- Pain that spreads or moves
- Flare-ups triggered by stress or poor sleep
- Fear of movement after past experiences
Persistent pain is real pain. It is also not a straightforward readout of tissue damage, and understanding that changes what treatment should look like.
How we treat it
Therapeutic Exercise
A progressive, individually prescribed exercise programme that rebuilds strength, mobility and control so improvements hold after discharge.
Manual Therapy
Skilled hands-on treatment of joints and soft tissue to restore movement and reduce pain, delivered by a licensed physical therapist rather than a machine.
Myofascial Release
Sustained, low-load pressure applied to restricted fascia and muscle to release tension patterns that stretching alone will not change.
Physical Therapy
A full evaluation, a diagnosis you can understand, and a treatment plan built for your body and your goals rather than a generic protocol.
Laser Therapy
Low-level laser applied to painful or slow-healing tissue to reduce inflammation and support recovery, with no heat and no recovery time.
Telehealth
Secure video physical therapy sessions for evaluation, exercise progression and follow-up when getting to the clinic is difficult.
Therapeutic Massage Therapy
Clinical soft tissue work used to reduce pain, ease muscle guarding and prepare the body for the active parts of your treatment plan.
