Pain Rehabilitation Service

What does pain assessment involve?

Our multidisciplinary pain rehabilitation team consists of:

  • Pain Rehabilitation Care Coordinator
  • Physiotherapist
  • Occupational Therapist
  • Psychologist
  • Social Worker
  • Pain and addiction specialist

Pain is complex and usually has multiple causes and contributing factors. Therefore over a period of weeks a comprehensive pain assessment will be undertaken by several members of our multidisciplinary team, you will then participate in pain education, stress management and engage in individual treatment sessions as required.

On completion of the assessments, the care coordinator and physiotherapist will discuss with you the main factors identified as contributing to your pain and work with you to develop a self management treatment plan.

What then?

After working through your management plan, we will review things with you. Although most chronic pain cannot be cured, most pain can be better managed.

The aim is for you to return to the care of your GP with a better understanding of your pain and more skills to manage it yourself.

“It was absolutely fantastic from day one”

“I had been in so much pain and not coping. James is marvelous – he’s so onto it and now I understand why things were happening” “with the exercises I do daily, together with the skills and strategies I’ve learnt, I’m in a really good place now.”

“I had been in a deep, dark hole, but now, with everything in my life, I’m about 85%!”
