A specialist service using modern science to tackle the issues of pain and movement
At 9 Harley Street, we provide contemporary assessment and treatment for painful problems that are affecting your quality of life. In one location, you will see Richmond Stace (Specialist Pain Physiotherapist) and Dr Deane Halfpenny (Consultant in Pain Medicine) to determine the nature of your problem(s), including investigations such as an MRI scan, an x-ray or ultrasound scan, and to understand the appropriate course of action for you to move forwards. Once the condition has been diagnosed, you will embark upon a treatment (click here for more details) and training programme that:
- Develops your understanding of the pain and your self-management skills
- Restores your confidence in moving and exercising
- Addresses your fears and concerns in relation to pain and movement
- Normalises your control of movement and body sense
- Eases pain & symptoms
- Tackles influential factors-e.g./stress, fatigue
- Facilitates your return to work, sports and other chosen activities
Following the assessment, the programme consists of once weekly sessions for 6 weeks (approximately 45 minutes per session).
At the begining and the end of the programme we will use outcome measures (painDetect, TSK, PCS; paper-based questionnaires) that identify pain types and issues around pain and movement. These measures help to guide treatments and interventions, but also demonstrate your improvements and areas that require more focus.
On concluding the programme we will summarise your progress. At this point you, our aim is that you will:
- Understand your pain
- Experience fewer symptoms
- Have improved your self-management skills and coping
- Have developed your functional ability
- Either re-engaged in avoided and limited activities or have begun a graded return that we will continue to monitor
If there are on-going issues, sessions are available on a bespoke basis.
