Her Role at Centre for Pain Relief

Pain treatment does not end when pain is reduced.

For many patients, prolonged pain, illness or surgery can lead to reduced movement, weakness, loss of conditioning and fear of returning to normal activity. Physiotherapy therefore forms an important part of the Centre for Pain Relief's multidisciplinary approach to recovery.

Nerusha works within this broader pathway to help patients restore movement, physical capacity and function following treatment.

This can be particularly valuable for patients recovering from spinal procedures or surgery, patients who have become physically deconditioned through chronic illness or pain, and those requiring structured cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.

By combining specialist medical care with appropriate rehabilitation, our goal is to help patients move beyond symptom control towards better function, greater independence and improved quality of life.
