Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia Support in Stockport and Surrounding Areas

Understanding Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia

Chronic pain and fibromyalgia are complex conditions that can cause persistent discomfort, tenderness, and extreme fatigue. These conditions often interfere with daily life, making simple tasks feel challenging. Common symptoms include:

  • Widespread Muscle Pain: A hallmark of fibromyalgia, this pain can affect multiple areas of the body, leading to tenderness and discomfort.
  • Fatigue: Chronic pain and fibromyalgia are often associated with severe fatigue, which can make physical activity and daily tasks feel overwhelming.
  • Muscle Stiffness: Stiffness in muscles and joints, particularly in the morning, can limit mobility and flexibility.
  • Sensitivity to Touch: Many individuals with fibromyalgia experience heightened sensitivity, where even light touch can cause pain.

Living with chronic pain and fibromyalgia can be isolating, but with tailored support and strategies, it is possible to manage symptoms and improve mobility, strength, and quality of life.

How SK Home Therapy Can Help

At SK Home Therapy, we provide personalised, in-home support designed to alleviate chronic pain and support individuals managing fibromyalgia. Our approach combines gentle exercises, stretching, and relaxation techniques that help reduce pain, improve mobility, and enable clients to manage symptoms more effectively.

Key Areas of Focus

Senior in Pain

Gentle Exercise and Movement: Engaging in regular, low-impact exercises can relieve stiffness and improve circulation. Our sessions include gentle exercises tailored to each client’s ability, ensuring gradual improvement without causing discomfort.

Stretching for Flexibility: Stretching is essential for reducing stiffness and promoting flexibility. We guide clients through controlled, therapeutic stretches that enhance mobility and relieve muscle tension.

Relaxation Techniques for Pain Relief: Chronic pain and fibromyalgia are often worsened by stress. We incorporate relaxation techniques, such as breathing exercises and gentle muscle relaxation, to reduce stress and help clients manage pain more effectively.

Building Endurance and Strength: While chronic pain may limit physical activity, building strength and endurance over time can improve overall functionality. Our sessions focus on gradual improvements, helping clients feel stronger and more resilient with each session.

Personalised Pain Management Strategies: Chronic pain and fibromyalgia vary greatly from person to person. We work closely with each client to develop pain management strategies that address their unique symptoms, enabling them to cope more effectively with discomfort.
