Pain Management Therapy
For pain that has outstayed the injury that caused it.
Overview
Drug-free treatment for pain that hasn't settled on its own
Pain lasting longer than three months behaves differently to fresh injury pain. The tissue has often healed while the nervous system stays sensitised — which is why rest and painkillers stop helping, and why being told ‘the scan looks fine’ is so frustrating.
This program combines hands-on treatment, graded activity and clear education about what’s actually happening. The aim is to widen what you can do without a flare-up, week by week, until pain stops setting your schedule.
What this treatment does for you
Less reliance on medication
A non-invasive, drug-free approach that works alongside whatever your doctor has prescribed.
Flare-ups you can manage
A written plan for bad days, so a setback stops being a crisis.
Activity back in your week
Graded exposure that rebuilds tolerance for sitting, walking, lifting and sleeping.
An explanation that makes sense
Understanding why pain persists is part of the treatment, not a consolation prize.

Questions about this treatment
Does this replace my pain medication?
No. We don’t prescribe or adjust medication — that’s your doctor’s call. Many patients do reduce what they need over time, and we’ll write to your GP with progress.
My scans came back normal. Is my pain real?
Yes. Scans show structure, not pain. Persistent pain is a nervous-system response that’s real regardless of what imaging shows, and it responds to treatment.
How long does a program usually run?
Longer than an acute injury — typically 8–12 sessions spread over a few months, with the gaps widening as you take over the program yourself.
