Pain Therapy in Surrey, BC
Break the cycle of chronic pain with evidence-based pain therapy and rehabilitation in Surrey, BC.
What is Pain Therapy?
Chronic pain — pain lasting more than 3 months — affects millions of Canadians and is often poorly understood and undertreated. Modern pain science has transformed how we understand and treat persistent pain, recognizing that it involves complex interactions between the nervous system, psychology, and physical factors.
At Amari Physio & Massage, our pain therapy approach integrates contemporary pain neuroscience education with manual therapy, graded exercise, movement retraining, and cognitive-behavioural strategies. We help patients understand their pain, reduce fear of movement, and build a path to active, functional lives.
Whether you have fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome, chronic back pain, or persistent post-injury pain, our evidence-based pain therapy program is designed to reduce your pain, improve function, and help you reclaim your life.
What Pain Therapy Can Help
Our Approach: What to Expect
Assessment
A comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment explores the physical, psychological, and social contributors to your persistent pain.
Pain Neuroscience Education
We help you understand why you hurt — how the nervous system contributes to chronic pain — which is itself therapeutic and reduces pain catastrophizing.
Active Rehabilitation
Graded exposure to movement and activity, combined with manual therapy, gradually restores function and confidence.
Self-Management
We equip you with tools and strategies to manage your pain independently — reducing reliance on passive treatments over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can physiotherapy really help chronic pain?+
Yes — physiotherapy using contemporary pain science approaches shows strong evidence for reducing chronic pain and improving function. The combination of education, manual therapy, and graded exercise is particularly effective.
Is chronic pain 'all in my head'?+
Chronic pain is real and has physical mechanisms, but it involves the nervous system becoming sensitized over time. Understanding this is a key part of recovery — it does not mean the pain is imaginary.
What is pain neuroscience education?+
Pain neuroscience education (PNE) teaches patients how the nervous system contributes to pain, why pain can persist after tissue healing, and how to reframe their relationship with pain. Research shows PNE reduces pain intensity and improves movement.
How long does chronic pain therapy take?+
Chronic pain requires a longer-term commitment than acute injury treatment. Most programs span 8–16 sessions over 2–4 months, with ongoing self-management strategies provided from the start.
