Our approach to pain
At Movement in Mind, we understand that many individuals feel frustrated and discouraged by ineffective, expensive and time consuming therapies. We view pain not just as a challenge but as an opportunity for transformative change.
By combining the latest insights in pain science with personalised, active rehabilitation strategies, we empower you to reclaim your movement and well-being, reigniting hope and resilience on your journey toward a more fulfilling life.
Understanding Chronic Pain: The Science Behind It
Exercise physiologists and physiotherapists play a critical role in helping patients understand the nature of their chronic pain.
We can explain how movement and exercise influence pain pathways and the brain's response to pain. Through personalized assessments, we provide insights into how specific physical activities can modulate pain perception. By debunking myths about movement and pain, we empower individuals to make informed decisions about engaging in physical activity, which is often counterintuitive for those experiencing chronic pain.​
Pain Education: Empowering Patients with Knowledge
As educators, exercise physiologists and physiotherapists are uniquely positioned to deliver comprehensive pain education. We can utilise hands-on training to demonstrate how various movements affect pain levels and overall function.
By cultivating a supportive learning environment, we encourage our patients to ask questions, express concerns, and share their experiences.
Additionally, we can provide resources tailored to individual needs, helping patients better understand their specific pain and how graded exercise and activities can serve as a pivotal tool in managing it.
Functional Rehabilitation: Prioritizing Movement and Quality of Life
At Movement in Mind, our clinicians are central to developing and implementing functional rehabilitation programs that focus on active engagement rather than passive treatments.
We design individualised exercise plans that incorporate strength training, flexibility, and functional exercises aimed at enhancing daily life activities. By using a gradual and progressive approach, we help patients reclaim their movement and confidence. This active participation fosters a sense of ownership over their rehabilitation process, leading to better outcomes and a return to cherished activities.
Innovative Approaches in Pain Management: The Modern Rehab Perspective
In the realm of modern rehabilitation, exercise physiologists and physiotherapists are at the forefront of integrating evidence-based practices and innovative methodologies into pain management.
We strive to stay informed about the latest research in pain science, continuously adapting our techniques based on new findings. Our collaborative approach, often working alongside other healthcare providers, allows for a holistic management plan that addresses not only physical symptoms but also emotional and psychological aspects tied to chronic pain.
