It’s time to rethink pain management and chronic pain

Holistic Chronic Pain Management at Aspire Physiotherapy Bunbury

Pain has both physical and psychological components. It’s important to treat the source on both levels.

Our principal physiotherapist, Tyne Timmers, holds a Masters in Medicine (Pain Management). She introduced a holistic, biopsychosocial approach at Aspire Physiotherapy Bunbury.

This approach combines psychology with physical therapy. It guides both assessment and treatment of chronic pain.

Unfortunately, along the way they often have become less and less active, wasting away muscle resulting in weakness, fatigue and potentially causing other injuries, or secondary injury.
A lack of movement through fear of harm can actually have a devastating impact on a person’s mental and physical wellbeing resulting in a downward spiral of more pain and even less mobility.

With a Masters in Medicine (Pain Management) our principal physiotherapist Tyne Timmers has introduced a holistic approach to chronic pain management at our clinic.

This is informed by psychology to provide a unique biopsychosocial approach to both the assessment and treatment of chronic pain.

By identifying the origins of pain and disability and potential barriers to rehabilitation, this evidence-based approach consistently delivers superior outcomes for our clients in comparison with a solely biomedical approach typical of most physical practitioners.

If you’re frustrated with the way your pain has been managed and would like to rid yourself of pain so you can feel and act like yourself again, book an initial appointment with one of our physiotherapists today to get an initial assessment.
