CHRONIC PAIN
Chronic pain can be difficult to live with. You may have tried medications, exercises, and other treatments, and still find it hard to get through the day. Your imaging may appear “normal,” yet you know your pain is real.
For many people, chronic pain does not fully resolve.
Together, I help you develop a pain self-management toolbox to better manage your pain and fatigue in ways that work within your daily life.
This may include:
-
Energy conservation
-
Pacing strategies
-
Understanding nervous system signals
-
Graded motor imagery
-
Reducing muscle tension and guarding
-
Improving support and positioning
I use a science-based approach, including Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE), which focuses less on the tissues and more on how the nervous system processes pain.
Chronic pain has many contributing factors, some of which are more within our control than others. I work with you to focus on the areas where you have the most influence— so you can:
-
Better manage energy crashes,
-
Reduce uncontrolled guarding or protective posturing,
-
Address fear of movement,
-
Along with other strategies tailored to your needs.
While chronic pain may be a long-term condition, it is possible to improve how you function and feel day to day.
Whether it’s headaches, back pain, sciatica, CRPS, or chronic fatigue, I use a range of approaches to help you get back to the activities that matter to you. For some, that means returning to work. For others, it means getting through the day with fewer crashes or pain flares.
