Structured, multi-week programmes for pain that has lasted 3 months or longer. We use a bio-psycho-social approach — addressing the body, the mind and the lifestyle factors that keep chronic pain alive.
Pain that has lasted three months or more is fundamentally different from acute pain. The original injury — if there was one — has usually healed. What's keeping the pain alive is a combination of sensitised nerves, deconditioned muscles, unhelpful movement patterns, fear of pain, sleep disruption and stress.
Treating chronic pain like acute pain — with rest, painkillers and passive treatment — usually makes it worse. Chronic pain rehabilitation is a structured, multi-week programme designed specifically to break the chronic pain cycle.
At our Chembur clinic, our chronic pain programme combines pain neuroscience education, graded exercise, manual therapy, sleep and stress strategies, and pacing techniques. Patients commit to 8–12 weeks — and the results are often life-changing for people who've struggled with pain for years.
Conditions where pain has lasted 3+ months and standard treatment hasn't fully resolved.
Pain lasting 3+ months — most common chronic pain condition.
Persistent neck pain often linked to posture and stress.
Widespread chronic pain with fatigue and sleep issues.
Long-standing nerve-related leg pain.
Long-term joint pain in osteo or rheumatoid arthritis.
Pain that didn't resolve as expected after injury.
Pain that persists 6+ months post-surgery.
Long-standing trigger-point and muscle pain syndromes.
Daily or near-daily headaches resistant to medication.
When standard physio sessions aren't enough — these are the signs of chronic pain that needs structured rehabilitation.
Pain that has lasted longer than expected healing time.
You've already seen multiple doctors and tried many therapies.
You've stopped activities you used to enjoy.
Pain disrupts sleep, mood is affected by pain.
A four-pillar bio-psycho-social approach delivered as a structured weekly programme.
Pain story, history, medications, sleep, mood, exercise, daily life — everything that affects pain.
Pain neuroscience taught in plain language — understanding pain reduces fear, which reduces pain.
Slow, structured return to movement — breaking the avoidance cycle without flare-ups.
Pacing, sleep hygiene, stress strategies and exercise habits that stick beyond the programme.
What's actually included across the 8–12 weeks — every week building on the last.
Understanding pain biology cuts pain intensity in many patients.
Carefully progressed activity — never enough to flare-up, always enough to advance.
Hands-on work to support comfort and movement gains.
Trigger-point release for myofascial component of chronic pain.
Activity-rest balance to avoid boom-bust pain cycles.
Sleep is critical — poor sleep amplifies pain. We teach evidence-based sleep strategies.
Diaphragmatic breathing and progressive muscle relaxation to reduce pain sensitisation.
Track progress with NPRS, Oswestry, FABQ — objective measurement.
What patients gain from committing to the full 8–12 week programme.
Most patients report 40–70% reduction in pain at 12 weeks.
Return to work, activities and hobbies you'd given up.
Many patients reduce or stop chronic painkillers.
Sleep quality is one of the earliest improvements.
Understanding pain takes away its frightening mystery.
Tools and habits that keep pain controlled for life.
From first call to full recovery — here's exactly what happens at each stage.
Comprehensive evaluation including pain, function, sleep, mood and goals — using validated questionnaires.
Detailed explanation of the 8–12 week journey, what to expect each week, and the commitment required.
1–2 sessions per week of 60 min — combining education, manual therapy, exercise progression and self-management.
15–30 min/day of exercises, breathing or relaxation between sessions.
At 4–6 weeks we re-test all outcome measures and adjust the plan.
Final assessment + long-term self-management plan + 1, 3 and 6-month follow-up check-ins.
"I had chronic back pain for 11 years — three MRIs, two surgeries, daily painkillers. The 12-week programme here was hard work but it changed everything. I'm off medication, working full days and even back to gym. I only wish I'd come sooner."
