Understanding Chronic Pain

Living with chronic pain can be exhausting. It can make everyday tasks harder, affect sleep, and impact quality of life. Chronic pain is typically defined as pain that lasts for more than three months, sometimes persisting after an initial injury has healed. It is complex and may involve multiple systems including muscles, joints, nerve, circulation, and emotional wellbeing.

Personalised Support for Chronic Pain

At my Glenelg physiotherapy clinic, my aim is to support people in moving more freely, feeling more comfortable, and regaining confidence in their bodies. Each plan is personalised and may include:

  • Fascial Counterstrain (FCS) — a gentle and advanced manual therapy approach developed in the USA. It works with the Boyd’s protective reflexes and may be applied to the fascial tissue wrapping around the muscles, nerves, veins, arteries, adipose tissue and visceral structures.

  • Hands-On Manual Therapy — techniques intended to reduce stiffness and support mobility.

  • Movement and Postural Guidance — practical strategies and simple exercises to make daily activities easier.

  • Education and Self-Management Strategies — helping you understand your condition and providing tools you can use between sessions.

Reasons People Commonly Seek Physiotherapy Support

  • Ongoing neck or back discomfort

  • Arthritis-related joint symptoms

  • Post-surgical or post-injury recovery needs

  • Long-term headaches

  • Fibromyalgia or widespread muscle pain (supporting symptom relief)

  • Nerve-related pain such as sciatica or neuralgia

  • Pelvic or abdominal discomfort

(These are examples of presentations seen in practice. Individual outcomes vary.)
