New in 2008! Cognitive Behavioural Approach to Chronic Pain Management and Exercise.

Home Visit Physio was contracted by Northern Sydney General Practice Network in 2008 to deliver the pilot “Step Up" program in the Northern Sydney Health area.

The program is based on the Royal North Shore Hospital Pain Management and Research Centre’s “Seniors ADAPT” program for chronic pain management.

A session involves Physiotherapist lead fun, informative group discussions, simple exercises, stretching and relaxation. In keeping with evidence-based practice, a cognitive-behavioural approach addresses fear /avoidance behaviours and teaches clients to set achievable goals. Despite the presence of chronic pain, clients set personal goals which provide internal motivation for physical activity. The client experiences a renewed sense of confidence and self-empowerment. Their personal exercise program becomes a way to achieve lifestyle goals.

Participant testimonials:

“All sessions have been most helpful and enjoyable” – Mary.

“I welcome the opportunity to stretch muscles I had forgotten” – Nancy.

"I'm 92, and I didn't think it was possible any more to do the things I've been doing in the step up program.  It's been good for me.  I didn't think at my age I'd ever get back to anything like that."
