OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY | PHYSIOTHERAPY | BIOKINETICS | DIETETICS

Living with chronic pain often means learning to manage an ongoing condition rather than waiting for a single cure. Understanding how your body responds to movement, activity, nutrition, and stress is central to long-term improvement.

Outcomes are consistently better when people with chronic pain are actively involved in their own care. Rehabilitation-based therapies play a critical role in helping patients regain function, reduce flare-ups, and build sustainable self-management strategies. At The Pain Collective, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, biokinetics, dietetics, and mindfulness-based approaches form an integrated part of comprehensive pain care.

  • OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

    Occupational therapy (OT) focuses on helping people participate more fully and comfortably in daily life, despite pain or physical limitations. The goal is to support independence, function, and quality of life by addressing how pain affects everyday activities.

    Occupational therapists work with individuals to adapt tasks, environments, and routines related to self-care, work, and leisure. In chronic pain, OT often helps with pacing, energy conservation, ergonomics, activity modification, and strategies to reduce pain flare-ups while maintaining meaningful participation in daily life.

  • PHYSIOTHERAPY

    Physiotherapy focuses on the assessment and management of movement, function, and pain. Physiotherapists help people restore mobility, strength, and confidence in their bodies through targeted exercise, manual therapy, education, and movement retraining.

    In chronic pain, physiotherapy aims not only to reduce pain, but to improve physical capacity, reduce fear of movement, and support long-term function. Treatment is individualised and often progresses gradually, helping patients move safely and effectively within their capabilities.

  • BIOKINETICS

    Biokinetics is a clinical exercise-based profession focused on the prevention and management of injury, chronic disease, and physical dysfunction through movement.

    Biokineticists design structured, individualised exercise programmes that help improve strength, endurance, joint health, and overall physical resilience. In chronic pain care, biokinetics supports long-term conditioning and helps patients transition from rehabilitation into sustainable, independent movement.

  • DIETETICS

    Dietitians are healthcare professionals specialising in nutrition and dietary management. They provide evidence-based guidance on how food choices influence inflammation, energy levels, metabolic health, and overall well-being.

    In chronic pain, dietetic input can support the management of inflammation and associated conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. Dietitians work with patients to develop realistic, individualised nutrition plans that support health, recovery, and long-term disease management.
