🚨 PAIN DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN DAMAGE!

Ever wondered why some pain settles after a few days or weeks… while other pain seems to stick around long after the original injury has healed?

🤔 Acute pain is your body's alarm system. It usually comes on suddenly after an injury or inflammation and helps encourage you to protect the area while it heals.

But sometimes the alarm system stays switched on 🔔 — even after the original injury has healed.

This is where persistent pain can come in.

Pain lasting longer than 3 months can be influenced by changes in how your brain and nervous system process pain. Your scans might be normal, the tissues may have healed, but everyday things like movement, touch, stress or even the fear of movement can still turn the volume up on your pain.

The good news? Persistent pain doesn't mean you're broken. 💪

At East Gosford Physiotherapy & Exercise Physiology, we can help you understand what's happening, gradually rebuild confidence in movement and develop a personalised pain-management pathway to get you moving and back to doing the things you enjoy.

📖 Want to understand the difference between acute and persistent pain — and why pain can continue even after an injury has healed?

🔥 Think you might have bursitis?
That painful, irritated spot around your shoulder, hip, knee or elbow might be more than just a "tight muscle"!

Bursae are tiny fluid-filled sacs that act like cushions between bones and soft tissues, helping reduce friction and absorb pressure. When they're exposed to too much compression they can become irritated and painful.

So what causes bursitis? 🤔
It can be triggered by things like:

🏃 A sudden increase in exercise
💪 Muscle tightness or weakness
🧍 Postural changes
🔁 Repetitive movements or overuse
⚖️ Muscle imbalances around a joint

Physiotherapy can then help address why the bursa became irritated in the first place—through hands-on treatment, targeted stretching, strengthening and correcting movement or postural factors.

And here's the important part 👇

Getting the pain down is only half the job.

The goal is to identify and address the factors that caused the excessive stress in the first place, so you can get back to normal activity without the bursitis continually coming back.

We've gone into more detail about what bursitis is, what causes it and how physiotherapy can help in our latest blog.

Not all shoulder, hip, knee or elbow pain is bursitis. An assessment is important to determine the most appropriate treatment
