Part of recovery from an injury may include issues with persistent pain.

Our program’s philosophy is to enhance the patients’ understanding of pain physiology and how modern principles of self-management and a cognitive approach will enhance their functional recovery. We attempt to ease the fear and anxiety around pain and how being active and positive will help control or manage the pain.
