Pain Management

15% of Canadians suffer from chronic pain which is pain that persists for weeks, months or years. Persistent pain often starts with a minor injury or illness, but does not improve over time. The ongoing pain makes it increasingly difficult to move, work and enjoy a normal life.

Our physiotherapists are highly skilled at assessing the

• Cause of your pain, how the pain affects your ability to move and will help find ways to get you moving again
• Help you unlearn some of the abnormal postures and movements your body may have adopted to guard the pain.
• Develop a safe activity program that will gradually help your nervous system rewire itself.
• Provide relaxation, imagery and/or breathing techniques that can help reduce muscle tension and calm the nervous system.
• Assess if specific treatments will help decrease and manage your pain (e.g., Manual therapy, Ultrasound, TENS, acupuncture etc).
