What is chronic pain?
Chronic pain is pain that has lasted for more than three months, beyond the time it would normally take for an injury to heal. Sometimes it starts with an injury, and sometimes it builds up with no clear cause.
Long-standing pain is real, and it isn’t “all in your head”. Over time, your body can become more protective and sensitive, so things that shouldn’t hurt start to. The good news is that the right mix of movement, treatment and understanding can help calm that sensitivity down and get you doing more again.
Types of chronic pain we see
We regularly help clients with:
- Long-standing back pain and sciatica
- Ongoing neck pain and related headaches
- Joint pain in the knee, hip or shoulder
- Osteoarthritis, most often in the knees and hips
- Old sports injuries that never fully settled
- Fibromyalgia and widespread pain
- Pain after surgery that is lingering longer than expected
How physiotherapy and sports therapy help
A thorough assessment
We listen to your whole story, look at how you move and find the things that keep your pain going. Then we explain it clearly, so you understand your body.
Graded exercise and strength
We build your movement and strength step by step, at a pace your body can cope with, so you can do more with less pain.
Hands-on treatment
Where it helps, we use hands-on techniques such as massage and joint mobilisation to ease stiffness and help you move more freely.
Pacing and flare-up plans
We help you balance activity and rest, and give you a simple plan for bad days, so a flare-up doesn’t undo your progress.
Sleep and activity advice
Pain and poor sleep often feed each other. We share practical tips on sleep positions, daily routines and staying active.
Working with your GP
If anything suggests you need tests or medical care, we’ll tell you honestly and refer you back to your GP.
What to expect
- Your Initial Consultation. This takes about an hour. You share your story and health history, and we carry out a thorough examination.
- Your Report of Findings. Within a day or two, we explain what’s going on, set your goals, give you your personalised care plan and start your first treatment.
- Your course of treatment. Sessions mix hands-on care, exercise and advice. We check your progress regularly and adjust the plan as you improve.
- Your home programme. You’ll have simple exercises to do between sessions, so you keep making progress on your own.
Pain that has built up over a long time usually takes time to settle, so we won’t promise a quick fix. We’ll give you an honest idea of timescales once we’ve assessed you, and everyone gets their own care plan.

Chronic pain FAQs
Can physio help pain I’ve had for years?
Often, yes. Long-standing pain can still improve with the right plan. We’ll assess you, explain what we find and tell you honestly how we think we can help.
Will treatment hurt?
We work at a level you’re comfortable with. Some exercises may feel like hard work or cause mild, short-lived soreness, and we’ll always explain what to expect and adjust things if needed.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on you and your pain. After your Initial Consultation, we’ll give you a personalised care plan with an honest idea of how many sessions to expect.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. We’re a private clinic, so you can book directly with us online or by calling 01252 449458.
Can you help with fibromyalgia?
We can help you manage fibromyalgia with gentle, graded exercise, pacing and advice that fits how you feel day to day. You can read more in our fibromyalgia article.
Should I rest or keep moving?
For most long-standing pain, gentle movement helps more than complete rest. The key is finding the right amount for you, and that’s exactly what we’ll work out together.
