Chronic pain defined as pain lasting more than three months affects every aspect of life, from sleep and work to relationships and mental health. Unlike acute pain, chronic pain often involves changes in how the nervous system processes pain signals, meaning the body becomes hypersensitive even when the original injury has long healed. Our integrated approach combines physiotherapy, CBT-based pain education, graded activity, and mindfulness techniques to retrain your nervous system, reduce pain sensitivity, and help you rebuild a fuller, more active life.

Fibromyalgia is a complex condition characterised by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and heightened sensitivity to touch and pressure. It is frequently misunderstood and mismanaged often leaving sufferers feeling dismissed and without a clear path forward. At Movin Care, we take fibromyalgia seriously. Our programs combine gentle graded exercise, pacing strategies, CBT-based techniques for managing pain flares and fatigue, and mindfulness practices, building a management plan that gives you real tools to reduce symptom severity and improve daily functioning.

CRPS is one of the most challenging and poorly understood chronic pain conditions causing intense, disproportionate pain, swelling, skin changes, and extreme sensitivity, often following an injury or surgery. Treatment requires a highly specialised, carefully paced approach. We use graded motor imagery, mirror therapy, desensitisation techniques, and CBT-integrated pain psychology alongside gentle physical rehabilitation working to calm the overactive nervous system and gradually restore function and confidence in the affected limb.

Stress and anxiety have a measurable, physiological effect on pain tightening muscles, amplifying nerve sensitivity, and lowering your pain threshold. Many people experience very real, very debilitating physical pain that is significantly driven or worsened by psychological stress. Our integrated approach addresses both sides simultaneously using CBT techniques to identify and reframe pain-amplifying thought patterns, alongside physical therapy to release muscular tension and restore comfortable movement. The result is a calmer nervous system, reduced pain, and greater emotional resilience.

Pain that has no clear structural cause on scans or tests is not imaginary. It is a genuine neurological experience that deserves the same care and respect as any other condition. Psychosomatic and medically unexplained pain is increasingly well understood in modern pain science as a product of a sensitised nervous system, unresolved emotional stress, or learned pain responses. We approach these presentations with curiosity and compassion using pain neuroscience education, CBT, mindfulness, and graded physical activity to help you understand your pain, reduce its intensity, and reclaim your life.

Sometimes pain outlasts the injury that caused it persisting for months or years after the tissue has healed. This is not weakness or imagination; it is the nervous system stuck in a protective loop that no longer serves you. Our post-injury chronic pain programs combine hands-on physiotherapy to address any remaining physical contributors with CBT-based strategies to break the cycle of pain, fear, and avoidance helping you gradually and safely return to the activities and movements you've been avoiding, with far less pain than you expect.
