Ongoing pain is much more than just a pain experience.
Whether it’s neck pain, back pain, hip pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, or ankle pain, it often comes with changes in fitness, weight, fatigue, sleep, and mood. It can also cause worries about future work, travel, and lifestyle.
Anastasia Pchelina has lived and worked in Geelong for over 15 years and will get you on the right track quickly. In addition to traditional physiotherapy methods, she takes a fresh, holistic, and modern approach to pain management.
She stays up to date with the incredible revolution in pain neuroscience, where our understanding of persistent pain has changed dramatically.
We now understand that persistent back, spinal, or joint pain initially involves the joints and tissues but later becomes influenced by reduced fitness, fears, and your nervous, hormonal, and inflammatory systems. A supportive, validating, trauma-informed approach to rehabilitation, exercise, and education is crucial.
Her skills range from traditional physiotherapy techniques like massage, stretches, dry needling, taping, therapeutic exercise, and Clinical Pilates, to modern techniques such as pain neuroscience education, graded motor imagery, and methods to recreate safety in movement.
Geelong, you are in good hands!
With our extended consultations she takes the time to listen, understand and build a trusting relationship.
Her goal is that you are empowered to find the perfect toolbox that will set you up for long term success.
