Pain Management Sydney
What is it?
Chronic conditions and disorders
Underlying medical conditions can manifest in the physical form of symptoms such as sciatica. Pain management programs from physiotherapy specialists can help reduce inflammation and therefore ease joint, muscle and nerve pain.
Muscle and ligament damage
Benefit from the latest expertise in exercise therapy. Reduce pain and restore function using therapeutic modalities such as massage, loading exercises and functional training.
Repetitive movement conditions
Repetitive motion disorders such as tendinitis and bursitis can be diagnosed using an ultrasound. Physiotherapy exercises can then help to relieve soreness and muscle or joint pain.
Sport and lifestyle injuries
Conditions such as ‘golfer’s elbow’ or ‘tennis elbow’ can be healed using techniques such as tendon massage, manual therapy, iontophoresis, bracing or splinting.
Mindset management
Chronic pain can have a huge impact on a person’s mindset and sense of self. Physiotherapists take an active approach to treatment, empowering the individual to set feasible goals and self-manage their condition.
Pain physiotherapy enables people suffering from chronic or acute pain to lead more comfortable and active lifestyles
Bespoke treatment programs draw on scientifically proven physiotherapy methods to help patients achieve healthy levels of activity. Expert clinicians help chronic pain patients using a multi-faceted approach, taking into consideration both the mental and physical impact of their condition. The aim is to provide acute pain management and a range of self-management techniques which help avoid a reliance on medication or the need for surgical intervention.

Benefits
Our pain management programs will help free yourself from the burden and discomfort of ongoing pain.
Physiotherapists are pain specialist experts, capable of identifying the root cause of chronic pain and inflammation, as well as designing bespoke treatment plans that will enable you to move, exercise and strengthen your body. Our physiotherapists also recognise the importance of addressing sleep, anxiety and stress in pain management, tapping into manual techniques and exercise to provide holistic patient care.
Method
Acupuncture, dry needling treatments, loading exercises, therapeutic ultrasounds and mild electric currents are just some of the therapeutic techniques that can be used to manage persistent pain, such as cancer pain and arthritic pain. A short period of rest is often advisable, but then exercises will be slowly introduced to reduce inflammation. These methods promote chemical change (of both mind and body) to help overcome dysfunction and manage chronic pain.
Results
Pain is a particularly complex issue which is why a collaborative and tailored approach to pain management is required. Your clinician will work with your GP to advise on any pain medicine required. They will also adapt treatment based on pain and mobility levels to help guide you through each stage of the recovery process and towards your health goals.
Post treatment
Your clinician can help educate friends, family and even your workplace in understanding how best to support the condition longer-term if required. You might also benefit from an ongoing partnership with a physiotherapist to help prevent certain acute conditions from developing into chronic pain.
With our knowledge and an evidence-based approach, our pain specialist team can assist in managing chronic pain, pain related to cancer, neuropathic pain and other pain conditions. We can provide a pain management program tailored to your individual needs and condition.

New patients might ask us…
Can I book over the phone?
Yes! You can call find the clinic phone numbers at the very top of the page on a desktop, or in the side menu on a mobile.
You will find our Receptionists very friendly and helpful. They will find a time that suits you and make sure you know where to park, how to get there and where we are.
Do I need a doctor to refer me to you first?
You do not need a referral from a doctor to see a physiotherapist however if you do have one please bring it along. We like to communicate with your doctor and any other practitioners involved in your care.
Will you remind me that I have an appointment with you?
Yes! You will have your appointment confirmed a day or so before by text, email or telephone call – whichever you prefer.
How long will my appointment be?
Appointments are scheduled a minimum of 30 minutes apart. We find that in the majority of cases that this is the most appropriate amount of time. In more complex conditions or for multiple injuries longer appointments can be arranged.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
Yes please! Any investigations or scans relating to the condition will help us understand your presentation better. Even if you just have the reports from scans they will be very helpful. Likewise any notes from other Therapists or doctors would be great. If you don’t have anything then don’t worry just bring yourself.
If you have problems related to walking or sport then please bring your runners or boots in for use to look at.
If you have a WorkCover claim or were injured at work then please bring your claim number. If you do not have a claim number but intend to get one please advise our receptionist when you arrive.
I'm running late!
Our aim is that everyone receives the attention they require and while achieving this we attempt to utilise all of our available time. If you are running late please call ahead and our Receptionist will check with your physio to see if it is possible to still see you. There may not be enough time to attend to your needs effectively. If we rush you through your treatment it is at best not helpful to you and at worst unsafe. We can simply reschedule your appointment for a later time.
