The Pain Management Challenge
Persistent pain and injuries can effect your work, exercise, relationships, mental health and sleep. So if they go untreated, they can pose a serious threat to your wellbeing.
Between 20-25% of people in Western society report one or more chronic pains. Many of which start off as an injury that wasn’t properly rehabilitated. So effective rehabilitation remains a very important one in the 21st Century.
Even many pain sufferers who fully dedicate themselves to their recovery find it hard to find effective relief. Thus becoming frustrated with over-simplistic treatments and a narrow range of treatment options.
