Hospital CEO, Jo Munday, explained the program takes a unique collaborative approach towards pain management through comprehensive education, physical activity and psychological support.
‘The involvement of a truly multidisciplinary team working in partnership with patients is what sets this program apart.
‘With a Pain Specialist, Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Exercise Physiologist, Psychologist and Pharmacist working with them, patients are seeing real and sustainable improvement in how they manage their pain.
‘Having that team of experts on your side and understanding your individual needs makes a real difference in the lives of people with chronic pain’, says Jo.
