Chronic pain affects one in three adults over the age of 65, impacting more than three million Australians. It can significantly disrupt a person’s quality of life—physically, emotionally, socially, and even economically. For older adults, chronic pain often leads to reduced mobility, increased social isolation, and a greater reliance on care services.
integratedliving’s Pain Management Wellness program is designed to empower older Australians with a deeper understanding of the factors that contribute to chronic pain. The program explores practical pain management strategies, including the roles of exercise, medication, nutrition, mental wellbeing, and evidence-based complementary therapies. Delivered through our network of community health services for seniors, the program also connects participants with relevant health support services and allied health services—such as physiotherapy and dietetics—to support ongoing pain relief. Whether accessed in person or via our home health care services, the program offers a flexible, holistic approach to managing pain and improving overall wellbeing.
