The service, run by a clinical psychologist and a specialist physiotherapist, both with over 20 years of experience and have worked together for over 15 years, specialises in chronic or persistent pain and helping patients manage their long-term pain conditions.
Understanding Persistent Pain Conditions and Their Impact
