Are you suffering from muscular pain that has lasted longer than 3 months?

Then an Exercise Physiologist can assist you to implement a suitable treatment plan to manage your pain and reclaim your life!

Living with pain can be debilitating to your lifestyle.  Pain can wake you at night or limit you from living the quality of life you deserve. In fact, 1 in 5 Australians are currently living with pain they have experienced for 3 or months.  These statistics reflect a growing problem with the community and the good news is that chronic pain can be effectively managed and treated through exercise.

The treatment of pain has been extensively researched in the medical literature over the past 20 years, and the underlying causes and mechanisms are better understood. It is recommended that a carefully structured exercise routine be used in the treatment of chronic pain.  Addressing the causes of pain through exercise is highly recommended as an effective treatment of pain.
