Musculoskeletal injury and pain can negatively affect how you feel and what you can do. This can then affect how well and quickly you recover or whether the injury or pain returns or becomes chronic.
If an injury or pain continues over time, it can affect your mental, social and physical health, and ultimately, your experience of who you are and how you fit into the world. This is particularly so for working professionals and athletes who are used to functioning at high levels.
Our support is specifically designed for working professionals and athletes with musculoskeletal injury or pain, and is available on-line and face-to-face. Guided by research and good practice, our proactive approach aims to:
Everyone’s experience of injury and pain is different, and only you will know how it feels and affects you. We listen, help you make sense of what you are experiencing, and help you to use your psychology to achieve your best outcome.

We therefore know how important it is for you to recover.
