Pain Management Service

The Physiotherapy Department offers a very limited service to the Pain Management Team (2.5. Hours/ Week). This service can be accessed via referral from SIVUH Consultants only.

International Best Practice stresses the importance of exercise to alleviate chronic pain, consequently we encourage patients to stay active in whatever genre they enjoy.
