Long Term Conditions and Chronic Pain

I have worked in healthcare for over 20 years which has provided me with a variety of different skills in managing long term conditions. Osteoarthritis is an often misunderstood diagnosis and is usually a part of the body’s normal aging process. It does not necessarily mean that you will need to stop doing the things you enjoy. In fact, if you are able to continue with an active lifestyle and manage flare ups appropriately then your outcome is likely to be much more positive. A persons experience of pain and disability is variable and even when you have been told you have osteoarthritis this does not necessarily mean you will go on to have a joint replacement. I can help you understand the physical and mental processes that contribute to having pain for a long time, help you manage your flare ups and then start to take positive steps towards improving your physical health.

If you would like to discuss if physiotherapy is right for you then don’t hesitate to contact me either by phone or email.
