Chronic Pain Management

Offering a new chronic pain program in Adelaide, Marelle uses a health coaching model, which involves collaboration with you! When you have had pain for a long time, chances are you have a pretty good idea about what works and what doesn't. After a thorough initial assessment, we will come up with a list of options to best treat your pain problem. Marelle will assist you to make decisions and therapy is then focused on strategies to make small, lasting changes over time.

Dance Physiotherapy

Dance physiotherapy recognises the concerns and challenges unique to dancers. Marelle has lectured to tertiary dance students on biomechanics and injury prevention, and has been involved in screening dancers at entry to tertiary dance for many years. She has modified this screening process to also include younger dancers for injury prevention, technique improvement and to assess individual suitability for the demands of dance.

Health Professionals

Marelle uses a biopsychosocial model for treatment, which merges biological, psychological and social contributions to pain conditions. All therapy is delivered within a health coaching framework - increasing the likelihood that patients will more effectively act in accordance with the treatment and lifestyle recommendations appropriate to their chronic pain conditions.
