What persistent pain means
Persistent pain continues or returns over a prolonged period. It does not mean the pain is imaginary or has one single cause: sleep, stress, activity, history and context can all influence how it is experienced.
What an assessment may add
A first appointment reviews your symptoms, movement, history and goals. It can also help identify activities you can maintain, what may need adapting and when coordination with other health professionals is appropriate.
Making progress without demanding a perfect recovery
Progress is often built through small, reviewable goals. Rebuilding confidence, tolerance for activity and participation in daily life can matter as much as changing pain intensity.
When to seek medical care
Seek urgent care for sudden loss of strength or sensation, fever, major trauma, chest pain, unexplained weight loss or new changes in bladder or bowel control.
Frequently asked questions about pain and recovery
Can physiotherapy help if pain has lasted for months?
It may help assess movement, review goals and organise an adapted progression. The response varies by person and no specific outcome can be guaranteed.
Do I need to stop exercising?
Not always. Activity can often be adapted to your tolerance and progressed gradually, provided there is no medical contraindication.
