Yes. Managing chronic pain and fatigue often involves addressing the emotional impact. Physiotherapists provide relaxation techniques, pacing education, and support to improve overall wellbeing.

Each treatment plan is completely individualized, taking into account your specific symptoms, energy levels, lifestyle, and goals to ensure sustainable and meaningful progress.

Managing chronic conditions is a gradual process. Many patients notice small improvements within a few weeks, but long-term benefits often develop over months with consistent therapy and self-care strategies.

Not when guided properly. Physiotherapists create gradual, low-intensity exercise plans designed to boost energy, improve strength, and reduce pain without overwhelming the body.

Physiotherapists use a combination of gentle exercise programs, pain management strategies, breathing techniques, relaxation training, pacing strategies, and education to help individuals regain control over their symptoms.
