We know that if you understand your pain and symptoms it helps you to deal with it more effectively. Therefore we deem pain education to be a key part of the treatment process.

 

 

 

The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as 'an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage'

We understand pain and the underlying mechanisms far better now than ever before. This is a really exciting time as the science of pain is moving forwards quickly and being translated into clinical interventions that are effective in relieving pain and restoring normal movement and function. At Specialist Pain Physio we keep up-to-date with the most current science and how it can be applied in the clinic.

Understanding pain is really important, and it is our job to help you to know why you have pain, why it persists and what we can do to help. As part of your treatment programme you may have been asked to read this information. Click here for the full article 'Why does it hurt? And why does it still hurt?'
