Chronic Pain Physiotherapy
Personalised treatment plan
Chronic pain is pain that persists for more than 12 weeks, even after the initial injury or condition has healed. Unlike acute pain, which serves as a warning signal, chronic pain can continue without an obvious ongoing cause. It often results from conditions such as arthritis, back problems, fibromyalgia, nerve injuries, or after surgery.
Chronic pain is complex and may be influenced by physical, emotional, and psychological factors. Because of this, it often requires a holistic treatment approach to help people manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
What Does Chronic Pain Cause?
Chronic pain can affect every part of daily life. Common effects include:
- Persistent aching, burning, or sharp pain in affected areas
- Muscle weakness, fatigue, and reduced mobility
- Sleep disturbances due to ongoing discomfort
- Increased sensitivity to pain (hyperalgesia) or pain in response to normally non-painful activities (allodynia)
- Reduced independence in daily activities and work
- Emotional challenges such as anxiety, frustration, or depression linked to ongoing pain
If not managed effectively, chronic pain can become a long-term barrier to living an active and fulfilling life.
How Can Physiotherapy Help with Chronic Pain?
Chronic Pain Physiotherapy in Birmingham focuses on helping you manage long-standing pain, improve function, and regain control of your daily life. Physiotherapists use a combination of physical, educational, and self-management strategies to address the physical and psychological impact of chronic pain. Treatment may include:
- Gentle, progressive exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility without overloading sensitive tissues.
- Manual therapy to ease stiffness and improve movement in affected areas.
- Pain management strategies, such as pacing activities, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle advice.
- Education on how chronic pain works (pain neuroscience education), helping you understand and manage flare-ups more effectively.
- Posture and movement training to reduce strain on the body and promote confidence in movement.
- Holistic support, addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of living with pain.
The aim is not just to reduce pain, but to restore confidence, promote independence, and improve overall quality of life.

Highly recommend.
I had been dealing with persistent shoulder pain that was affecting my daily life and sleep. After trying various treatments with little success, I visited caregate clinics, where Raj recommended shockwave therapy. The results were amazing!

Very happy with treatment.
My arm had no good movement after stroke. Walking was very hard, very slow. Raj helped me lot. He gave very good exercises, was very patient with me. Now my arm is stronger, I can hold things better. My walking is also better, more balance.

I can’t recommend him highly enough!
I had been struggling with severe lower back pain and sciatica, which made even the simplest tasks unbearable—especially sleeping. After seeing Raj my pain levels reduced significantly, and for the first time in weeks, I was able to get a good night’s sleep.

So grateful for the support and dedication.
At 77 years old, I was struggling with persistent leg pain that made even simple daily activities difficult. From my very first visit, I was treated with such kindness, patience, and professionalism. Their expert care has made a real difference, and I now feel much more confident in managing my pain.

I’m back to doing what I love!
I sprained my ankle playing sports, and at first, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get back to my usual activities. They provided me with exercises that were perfect for my age and helped me regain strength and mobility.
