Understanding persistent pain
Pain that outlasts the original injury.
Pain that lasts longer than three months is considered chronic. Over time, the nervous system can become more sensitive, so pain continues even after tissues have healed. This pain is real, and it can affect sleep, mood, work and relationships.
Fibromyalgia involves widespread pain, fatigue, poor sleep and trouble concentrating. There is no single cure, but a steady, well-paced approach can make a meaningful difference.
Common experiences
Widespread aching, flare-ups with activity or stress, fatigue, poor sleep and feeling stuck in a cycle of doing too much then too little.
Why it persists
A sensitized nervous system, deconditioning, stress and sleep problems can all keep pain going.
Team approach
Our physiotherapist, massage therapist and clinical counsellor work together on the physical and emotional sides of pain.
How we help
Small steps, lasting change.
- Pain education to help you understand what is happening
- Graded activity and pacing to break the boom-bust cycle
- Gentle strength, mobility and aerobic exercise
- Relaxation, breathing and sleep strategies
- Massage therapy for comfort and tension relief
- Counselling for stress, mood and coping skills
What to expect
Go at a pace that works for you.
We start where you are, not where you think you should be. Activity is increased gradually so your body can adapt without major flare-ups.
Progress is measured by what you can do: walking further, sleeping better, returning to hobbies or work, as well as changes in pain.
Common questions
Good to know.
Will exercise make my pain worse?
Some discomfort is normal when starting, but a well-paced program should not cause lasting flare-ups. We adjust as we go.
Is fibromyalgia treated differently?
The principles are similar, with extra attention to fatigue, sleep and very gradual progression.
Do you offer counselling?
Yes. Our Registered Therapeutic Counsellor offers support with stress, coping and the emotional impact of long-term pain.
Do you direct bill insurance?
Yes, we direct bill many extended health providers and handle WCB and motor vehicle accident claims. Our front desk can confirm your coverage when you book.
