Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)

ME/CFS is a debilitating condition that causes severe fatigue, particularly after very light exertion. This condition is becoming more prevalent in the community and is similar to long Covid. Physiotherapy can help people with ME/CFS by treating musculoskeletal aches and pains without exercise therapy, but with a variety of passive techniques and appropriate resting positions. Physiotherapists can also help clients learn pacing strategies, prescribe appropriate equipment and identify other services that may benefit the client to conserve their energy.

If required, we can offer shorter appointments to preserve your spoons. We are happy to work in darkened rooms and understand that you may need to minimise communication.
