Frequently Asked Questions

Is the pain all in my head?

No, chronic pain is very real. However, how the brain processes pain signals can change over time. We help 'retrain' the brain and nervous system to process these signals differently.

Will physiotherapy cure my chronic pain?

The goal of chronic pain management is often to improve function, reduce the intensity of pain, and enhance your quality of life, rather than completely 'curing' it.
