Mates4Mates Persistent Pain Program
- Are you a veteran impacted by their service who is living with chronic pain?
- Do you want to self-manage your pain through exercise and wellbeing?
- Are you wanting to become more educated around your pain?

What is the Persistent Pain Program?
Developed by Mates4Mates, the Persistent Pain Program is designed by our Exercise Physiologists and Psychologists to help veterans gain a better understanding and greater confidence in managing their chronic pain.
Across six weeks, the program will provide veterans with an understanding of the impacts that pain can have on their physical and psychological wellbeing and strategies their can implement to manage their pain.
Plus, learn how to increase functional capacity with exercise and how to implement strategies to increase overall quality of life.
