Chronic pain isn’t just frustrating—it can interfere with every part of life, from work and sleep to daily movement and mental well-being.
Whether it’s persistent back pain, osteoarthritis, or a recurring injury, living with pain can feel like a never-ending cycle.
At Corio Bay Sports Treatment Clinic Colac, our skilled physiotherapists are here to help you break that cycle through proven, personalised treatment options.
What Is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain is pain that persists for more than 12 weeks, even after the original cause or injury has healed. It can be caused by conditions such as:
- Back and neck pain
- Osteoarthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Tendonitis
- Nerve pain
- Repetitive strain injuries
Many people think they just have to “live with it.” But with the right physiotherapy approach, you can find relief and regain control of your life.
How Physiotherapy at The Corio Bay Sports Treatment Clinic Colac Helps with Chronic Pain
At The Corio Bay Sports Treatment Clinic Colac, we offer a comprehensive and evidence-based approach to chronic pain management. Our goal is not just to reduce pain—but to help you move better and live more comfortably.
1. Individualised Treatment Plans
Every body is different. Our experienced physiotherapists conduct a full assessment to create a tailored treatment plan that targets the root cause of your pain. This plan may include hands-on therapy, exercise, and self-management techniques.
2. Hands-On Pain Relief
We use manual therapies such as joint mobilisation, soft tissue massage, and dry needling to relieve pain, reduce tension, and restore movement. These therapies help reduce pain signals and improve mobility.
3. Strength & Movement Therapy
Chronic pain often results in muscle imbalances, stiffness, and deconditioning.
We guide you through targeted strengthening and mobility exercises to improve your body’s support system and prevent flare-ups.
4. Clinical Pilates
Our clinic offers Clinical Pilates, a gentle and effective way to build core strength, improve posture, and support long-term pain relief.
Supervised by trained physiotherapists, Clinical Pilates is ideal for those dealing with lower back pain, joint issues, or postural imbalances.
We also can incorporate Weight training for those wanting to delay the effects of bone density loss from Menopause.
5. Hydrotherapy
Water-based therapy is especially helpful for those experiencing pain with weight-bearing movements. Our Hydrotherapy sessions reduce joint stress and pain while allowing safe, low-impact movement—perfect for arthritis, post-operative recovery, and chronic pain conditions.
6. GLA:D® Program for Hip & Knee Osteoarthritis
We are proud to offer the GLA:D® program at our Colac clinic—a research-backed exercise and education program designed specifically for people with hip and knee osteoarthritis. GLA:D® helps improve strength, stability, and pain levels so you can stay active and independent.
7. Education & Self-Management
Physiotherapy is not just about treatment—it’s about empowerment. We teach you how to manage your pain, understand your condition, and make long-term lifestyle adjustments that support recovery and prevent relapse.
8. Natural, Drug-Free Pain Relief
Physiotherapy offers a holistic, medication-free approach to pain management. By treating the underlying causes rather than masking symptoms, we help you achieve long-term, sustainable results.
