Persistent Pain Management
This treatment tends not to be offered by
general physiotherapy practices. It is a highly
skilled and specific service assisting the
patient to come to terms with and learn how
to manage complex pain presentations and
altered lifestyle.
What will your appointments involve?
This is a different approach than a conventional
physiotherapy appointment. All appointments will
last approximately one hour and on average you
will need 3-4 appointments.
Often, after these appointments, you will be
supported via telephone with the aim to aid
self-management and improve daily function to
allow you to gain control of your life again.
