Pain

Pain can be managed in lots of different ways, analgesia, heat, ice, or change of perception, pain is a very big subject to explore and presents in most of our patients in physiotherapy so its important to know how to manage it appropriately and guide the service user in reducing it.

Pain is a complex idea and its commonly mis-understood by service users. It is a subject that should be approached with caution when discussing with service users and changing peoples minds about it can be quite difficult depending on their beliefs.
