Chronic Pain
At Mend, we strive to deliver outcomes for our clients suffering from chronic pain through the use of unique targeted strength training. We believe that targeted strength training is one of the most effective methods in the prevention and treatment of chronic pain.
Three Steps to Recovery
Treat Symptoms
We understand how much pain can impact our lives. So our first goal is to always relieve your primary symptoms- usually pain relating to stiffness, tightness, inflammation etc.
Our therapists will use the latest and best assessment and training techniques to treat your symptoms quickly and effectively.
2. Identify underlying Causes
Often the underlying cause or causes are not adequately identified- and so can not be addressed. In this scenario it is not long before the symptoms return. This is arguably the hardest and most important step- one which Mend therapists specialise in.
3. Long-term Prevention.
Pain or stiffness not being present only signifies you are under the pain threshold. To undo years of poor posture, weakness and stiffness Mend will set you up with an individualised, integrated and progressive strengthening programs effectively breaking the cycle of pain.
The Chronic Pain Dilemma
Most people will have back pain in their lifetime- and most recurrently. The main reason for these recurrent episodes is that even if treatment is successful, it is often stopped once symptoms subside- leaving the causes of the symptom untreated.
Breaking the cycle
To prevent another episode of chronic pain or break the current cycle of pain, the first step is to identify all of the direct, indirect and lifestyle causes of your pain and dysfunction.
Once identified, these causes are treated accordingly preparing you for the third and final stage of your rehabilitation Journey.
