Understanding acute and chronic pain
Acute pain is short-term and usually related to an injury or a recent operation; it settles as the tissue heals. Chronic pain is different. It persists beyond the normal healing window, typically three to six months or more, and involves a more complex interaction between the nervous system, your emotions and the rest of your life.
Pain management brings both together in one drug-free approach: movement and manual therapy for the physical side, and education and self-management strategies for living well alongside pain that has not yet gone.
How we approach pain management
A plan built around your movement, your triggers and what matters to you day to day.
Pain we commonly help manage
If your pain does not fit neatly into one of these, it is still worth an assessment.
A team trained in pain, not just injury
Our physiotherapists combine hands-on treatment with pain education and, where useful, approaches drawn from CBT and ACT. Chartered members of the CSP and registered with the HCPC, they will loop in your GP or pain clinic when that helps your overall care.

Google review →“I had a full hip replacement following a cycle accident, and have daily physio visits on weekdays for three weeks. I am already able to walk short distances without a stick or crutch, and this is entirely due to the work they have done with me.”
