Chronic pain is described as persistent pain that lasts beyond a 3 month period or the normal time for healing after an injury or illness. It’s a complex condition, and is very common, resulting in a loss of independence, productivity and quality of life. It impacts more than 3.6 million Australians each year (https://chronicpainaustralia.org.au/) and can affect anyone.
What Is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain can profoundly affect quality of life, limiting mobility and function, reducing capacity to work, and impacting everyday activities. Its effects also extend to family members, partners, carers, and loved ones, who often struggle to support those living with persistent pain. From common issues like back pain, neck pain, nerve related pain, joint and muscular pain and arthritis, chronic pain has a higher prevalence in women and those over the age of 65, impacting retirement enjoyment and longevity. Not only does chronic pain have an impact on physical health, but it also affects the mental health of those suffering.
At C2M, we understand the relationship between exercise and pain management. We’re passionate about managing chronic pain symptoms and improving an individual’s quality of life, enabling them to work, move and live a fulfilling life, managing their pain rather than letting their pain manage them. Our experienced Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists create personally tailored recovery plans with pain management exercises to empower our clients to reach their goals, and return to their previous level of function (or better) through tailored exercise and rehabilitation programs.
We understand that because chronic pain can often be invisible, those suffering can often feel misunderstood and stigmatised. We take every complaint of pain seriously, and work with our clients to get to the bottom of their pain, and create personalised pain management exercises.
How a Physiotherapist Can Help
At Choose2Move, our Physiotherapists help diagnose, treat, and manage both acute and chronic pain conditions using a personalised, evidence-based approach. Whether you’ve been referred by your GP or are seeking support independently, our team works with you to better understand your pain and develop practical strategies to improve movement, function, and quality of life.
Your Physiotherapist may incorporate hands-on treatment techniques such as manual therapy, massage, dry needling, and tailored rehabilitation exercises to help manage pain and support recovery.
At C2M, we also take a collaborative approach to care. Our Physiotherapists work closely alongside our Exercise Physiologists and broader allied health team to ensure you feel supported, confident, and empowered when building sustainable exercise and pain management routines.
