Pain doesn’t always mean damage...

One of the biggest advances in modern pain science is recognising that pain is a protective experience created by the brain, not simply a measure of tissue damage.

That’s why two people with the same injury can experience very different levels of pain, and why pain can sometimes persist even after tissues have healed.

Understanding this doesn’t mean the pain is “all in your head.” Your pain is real. It simply means the brain and nervous system play an important role in how pain is experienced.

At West Coast Physio, we use an evidence-based approach to help patients understand their pain, regain confidence in movement and return to the activities they enjoy.
