An NHS, nationally commissioned specialist centre providing pain rehabilitation for people of all ages with chronic pain

03/11/2026

How do we support young people with chronic pain when recovery is about much more than the physical symptoms? At , we explored what psychologically informed physiotherapy looks like in everyday practice. Through interactive exercises (chickpeas were involved!) and practical examples, the workshop looked at therapeutic relationships, noticing thoughts, emotions and body sensations, working with distress, and helping young people connect rehabilitation with what really matters to them.

Our team regularly run training events, for more information check out our website

When Terry was a patient here at BCPS, he struggled with walking, but since going through our rehabilitation program he has progressed tremendously and is now a member of our BCT team.

During our busy day of podcasting, Terry presented us with an amazing £100 donation fundraised from his very own sponsored walk! It is amazing to see just how transformative our programmes can be for patients, and how many are able to live better with their chronic pain.

Terry has also painted us some fantastic artwork to display in our building for staff and patients alike to enjoy. Thanks Terry, keep up the great work!

Last Thursday, we welcomed Paul from the Airing Pain podcast to record an episode with some of our wonderful BCPS Co-Production Team (BCT). As some of you may already know, BCT are a collaboration group of past patients, their families and our clinicians, who have been working hard over the last 2 years to shape and improve our services.

The recording process highlighted individual experiences of chronic pain, experiences of treatment here at BCPS and, most importantly, the amazing work that BCT have been doing to raise awareness of chronic pain and make treatment more accessible for all.

Thank you so much to Paul for promoting the work that BCT have been doing, and thank you to those who came along to Bath for day the to spread the word of BCT!

Keep an eye out for updates on when the episode is being released, and check out Airing Pain for a whole range of chronic pain related podcasts in the meantime👀

Really encouraging to see the BBC sharing important research from the University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, exploring the prevalence of self-harm among young people living with chronic pain, offering a valuable insight into the psychological impact of these conditions.

Some of the young people involved in this research have previously been through our programmes here at BCPS, and are now contributing towards raising awareness and developing understanding of chronic pain. The findings strongly resonate with our approach to rehabilitation and the importance of having psychologists at the forefront of our service. Supporting young people living with chronic pain means looking beyond pain itself and recognising the wider emotional and social experiences that can have such an important impact on their quality of life.

Pain Awareness Month | Week 4: Advance

As clinicians, we believe that advancing our understanding of pain is essential to improving the support we provide to children, young people, and their families.

Pain is complex and deeply individual. Supporting someone to live well with pain means considering their experiences, communication needs, developmental stage, neurodiversity, relationships, and life transitions alongside symptoms.

At BCPS, we are proud to be contributing to and learning from important conversations about pain across several international conferences this year. Sharing knowledge, exploring different perspectives, and listening to lived experiences helps us continue developing compassionate, inclusive, and psychologically informed approaches to care.

Jennifer Ford Consultant Physiotherapist and BCPS therapy lead will be presenting at EUPPT 2026:

📅 Thursday, 1 October | 15:15–16:45
Psychologically Informed Physiotherapy in Paediatric Chronic Pain: How Do We Do It?

📅 Friday, 2 October | 13:30–15:00
Treating Chronic Pain Differently: Neurodiversity, Life Transitions & Psychologically Informed Physiotherapy

At PReS last week, Dr Jeremy Gauntlett-Gilbert, Consultant Clinical Psychologist at BCPS, helped facilitate valuable discussions on neurodiversity, pain, and rheumatology. The sessions highlighted the need to look beyond diagnosis alone and consider each child's unique experiences, perspectives, and needs when communicating, assessing symptoms, and planning care. Ultimately, they served as an important reminder that no two healthcare journeys are the same.

These discussions offer valuable opportunities to reflect on how we can continue improving support for children and young people living with pain and their families.
