03 Pain Medicine & Rehabilitation

Move Beyond Pain.
Return to Life.

Pain can affect much more than the body. Persistent pain may interfere with sleep, mobility, work, exercise and everyday activities — so we treat the source, not just the symptom.

About the Department

Pain is a condition in its own right

Our Pain Medicine & Rehabilitation service focuses on identifying the source of pain and developing a personalised strategy to improve comfort and function.

Pain medicine is recognised as a distinct specialty in major hospitals, often working alongside orthopaedics and physical medicine & rehabilitation — and that is exactly how it works here.

Our Approach

We look wider than the painful spot

Instead of treating pain as an isolated symptom, we look at six things together. Our goal is to help you gradually return to meaningful daily activities.

Pain source

Where the pain is actually coming from, rather than where it is felt.

Movement

How you move, and which patterns are keeping the pain going.

Strength

The capacity your joints and muscles need to cope with daily load.

Lifestyle

Sleep, activity, work and the habits that shape recovery.

Function

What you need to be able to do — at home, at work, in sport.

Recovery

A realistic path back to meaningful daily activity.

Pain source, movement, strength, lifestyle, function and recovery

Don't let pain define your day.

Find out what is actually driving your pain — and what can be done about it.
