Chronic pain is pain resulting from illness or injury that has been a limiting factor of life for a long period of time. Chronic pain often occurs when an original injury or illness is not fully resolved which results in continuing pain and symptoms, and much frustration. Untreated pain can interfere with the healing process by affecting the immune system and leading to other undesirable results.
Our treatment philosophy for chronic pain at ‘physiotherapy + pilates evolved' is in line with our overall holistic approach to rehabilitation and care. Our goal is to provide treatment and education in a comfortable and safe environment that will allow you (the patient) to return to a pain free lifestyle without having to incorporate any compensatory measures into daily life. In addition to treating the pain, this approach involves reintroducing good movement patterns, exercise and graduated strengthening programmes with the ultimate goal of self management and pain free, energy efficient movement and living.
