Pain is an experience we all have. Pain is the brains most powerful way of grabbing our attention and trying to alter our behavior. Pain’s aim is to protect us. Pain is complex.
Thankfully, in most instances pain is only a short term experience. But, in some cases pain persists and becomes a huge burden. This pain can be difficult to manage. Without effective management this type of pain has a huge effect on the quality of our lives.
To understand it well it has to be understood from a holistic perspective or a biopscyhosocial approach. Research indicates that effective pain management often takes a multi disciplinary approach and this will vary for every individual. For this reason Body in Motion’s pain programmes can be tailored to suit whatever your needs.
We have a wide range of trained professionals to help best manage your pain. This team includes medical specialists, physiotherapists, psychologists, occupational therapists, dietitians, counsellors, and social workers.
