Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is pain that persists beyond the expected healing time and can affect many areas of life, including movement, sleep, work, and emotional wellbeing. It is often influenced by a combination of physical, nervous system, and lifestyle factors. Our care focuses on improving function, reducing pain sensitivity, and supporting safe, gradual movement.

Spine & Sports Forster will work with you to support long-term pain management, improve movement, and rebuild your confidence in daily life.

Living with chronic pain can be DIBILATATING, but support and guidance can help improve movement, confidence, and quality of life.
