Rehabilitation programmes are designed to help you recover from an acute injury, surgical procedure or a flare-up of a long-term condition.
Effective rehabilitation will ensure you can return to your daily life and/or fitness routine as soon as possible. It can also reduce the risk of the injury recurring or adversely affecting other areas of your body and movement.
If you struggle with recurring or persistent pain, or experience discomfort that moves around your body, you may find yourself repeatedly treating the symptoms of your pain but never getting to the cause.
I can help you to explore multiple techniques that can assist in managing or resolving your recurring or persistent pain.
