Chronic pain is pain that has lasted more than three months. Sometimes there is no clear cause, or it has not improved with treatment or medicine. Living with it can affect sleep, work, mood and the things you enjoy.
Physiotherapy for chronic pain focuses on helping you understand your pain, build strength and fitness gradually, and learn skills to manage it yourself, so pain plays a smaller part in your life.

Frequently asked questions
Will exercise make my pain worse?
Exercise is started gently and built up slowly. Some discomfort is normal, and we will help you find the right level.
Can pain improve after years?
Yes. Many people with long-standing pain can do more and feel better with the right approach, even if pain does not disappear completely.
Do I need a referral?
No, you can book physiotherapy directly. If you need medical review, our doctor is on site.
