All of Evolving Pain therapists have had extensive experience coaching our people back to living. We do this by working within your world, and acting as a sherpa assisting you on your individual mountain. For change in the human biome to occur we need to challenge the status quo. We know this can be really scary, so we approach this with upmost compassion, sensitivity and respect to your circumstances and capacity

Part of this journey involves you getting you in the drivers seat, buckling up and taking you on an adventure. Let’s be sure to have some fun along the way, and find the light behind the shadows, even in the darkest of days. With a curious and creative lens we explore novel movement and sensory motor patterns in an attempt to break existing neural networks, than can be well-meaning but unhelpful at times.

We work in an integrative, embodied way, reconnecting and re-establishing you into your world, respecting the relationship between both mind and body.

FAQs

What is pain coaching, and how is it different from traditional physiotherapy?

Pain coaching from our physiotherapists or occupational therapists focuses on the emotional, mental, and behavioural aspects of living with chronic pain. Physiotherapy generally addresses physical movement and function. Pain coaching helps you develop strategies to manage your unique situation and become the boss of pain flare ups, stress and other symptoms.

Who is pain coaching suitable for?

Pain coaching is ideal for individuals living with persistent or chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, pelvic pain, or hypermobility. When pain starts to impact your sleep, mood, confidence, or independence, pain coaching is an incredibly helpful service.

What happens during a pain coaching session?

Pain coaching sessions are personalised to each client, their condition and symptoms. We may discuss your experiences with pain, identify flare up triggers, explore pacing and relaxation techniques, and build practical tools to navigate setbacks.

Can pain coaching help me if I’ve already tried other treatments?

Yes. Pain coaching beautifully complements other health treatments like other allied health or medical support. Many of our clients find that pain coaching is the missing piece of the puzzle in managing their chronic pain.
