Chronic Pain Treatment and Relief in Melbourne
Chronic pain is pain that lasts longer than three months, and it can seriously impact your physical and mental well-being. Unlike acute pain, which is a sign of immediate injury, chronic pain can persist without clear evidence, making it tricky to manage. Common conditions include Chronic Lower Back Pain, Fibromyalgia, and Polymyalgia Rheumatica. The good news is that a holistic approach, especially with physiotherapy, can greatly improve your quality of life.

The Benefits of Physiotherapy for Chronic Pain
Physiotherapy offers many advantages for managing chronic pain. It can significantly reduce pain through techniques like manual therapy, dry needling, and targeted exercises.
It helps improve mobility, strength, and flexibility, making daily activities easier. By focusing on posture and body mechanics, physiotherapy also prevents future pain issues. It takes a holistic approach, addressing both physical and mental aspects of pain, and provides education on self-management, empowering you to take control of your condition.
With personalised care and a supportive environment, physiotherapy helps you regain your quality of life.
Multidisciplinary Approach
Chronic pain often requires a team approach. Your Physio may liaise with your ‘team’ and direct you to other health practitioners who can help you better understand your condition and improve your everyday activities.
We work closely with other healthcare professionals, including: GPs and Pain Specialists for comprehensive medical management psychologists to address the emotional aspects of chronic pain and exercise physiologists for advanced exercise programming.
How can physiotherapy treat chronic pain?
- Comprehensive Assessment and Personalised Plan
Your physio will discuss your condition, take your medical history, and perform some tests to understand your issue fully. This helps create a treatment plan tailored to you. - Manual Therapy and Techniques
Hands-on techniques, like joint mobilisation, manipulation, massage, and myofascial release, are used to reduce pain, relieve muscle tension, and improve mobility. - Exercise Therapy
We design a customised exercise program, including strengthening exercises to support painful areas, stretching to improve flexibility, and aerobic conditioning to enhance fitness and reduce pain. - Education and Self-Management Strategies
We help you understand chronic pain, teach you how to balance activity and rest, and offer stress management techniques. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools to manage your condition, with support from guided exercises via PhysiApp.
Ongoing support for long-term results
We believe in continuous support throughout your treatment journey. Regular follow-ups ensure your progress is monitored, and any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan can be made. As you improve, your exercises may evolve into more advanced physio exercises or clinical Pilates to continue building strength.
