Education, exercise and brain retraining to help you understand, manage and overcome persistent pain.
Book an Appointment
Pain is complex and involves many factors, which is why persistent pain rarely responds to a single quick fix. Our approach centres on education and practical advice. We help you understand what pain actually means, how to manage it and how to overcome it, with support and encouragement every step of the way. Rather than avoiding activities you have come to fear, we guide you back to them through careful pacing and gradually build up the things you currently find difficult.
Alongside education, we use specific exercises to improve muscular control, strength and postural endurance. Over time this improves your physical tolerance and your capacity for daily activities, including work and returning to work. The goal is to help you get back to the life you want to live, with more confidence and less reliance on others to fix things for you.
For certain conditions, including complex regional pain syndrome, frozen shoulder and other pain syndromes, brain retraining can be valuable. Our Physiofit staff are experienced in delivering cortical retraining exercises such as two point discrimination retraining, lateral discrimination exercises and mirror box exercises. If you would like more information about pain management, you can ask for Samantha Cheesman, who works in the Orthosports building at Concord.
We take time to understand your pain and its impact, then explain how pain works in plain language. Your program blends education, pacing and specific strengthening exercises, and may include brain retraining techniques for certain conditions. We support and encourage you as you rebuild activity and confidence.
People living with persistent or complex pain, including chronic pain syndromes, complex regional pain syndrome and frozen shoulder, especially where other approaches have not given lasting relief.
Many people gain meaningful improvement in their pain, function and confidence through education, pacing and exercise. We focus on giving you the knowledge and skills to manage and improve.
For certain pain conditions the nervous system becomes overprotective. Techniques such as two point discrimination and mirror box exercises can help retrain how the brain processes signals.
These are delivered by experienced Physiofit staff. You can ask for Samantha Cheesman, who works in the Orthosports building at Concord.
