Pain that outlasts the original injury by months or years isn't a sign that something is broken beyond repair. Over the last two decades, the understanding of how chronic pain actually works has changed considerably, and that understanding now shapes how it's treated here.
Why Pain and Movement are Linked
Pain and movement are both survival mechanisms. Pain changes how you move, and how you move changes pain. Research proves that in some people even just thinking about a movement can affect swelling and discomfort. Treatment is geared to address those changes, using techniques that respect how protective the nervous system can be, while still making steady progress.
What This Looks Like in Practice
We work together to develop a plan, not a one-size fits all protocol. Many clients are surprised by how much changes once they are working with a practitioner who understands the unique challenges of chronic pain.
