Approximately 20% of Australians have experienced pain that has persisted for more than 3 months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Acute pain is your brain&#8217;s way of warning you that your body is in danger. This is a normal protective response. If body tissue is inflamed or damaged the &#8220;danger&#8221; sensors become more sensitive. If pain persists then changes in the brain may also occur, or an immune or movement response may become more sensitive as well. Then chronic pain may result.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">OT4Change can assist people with persistent pain to regain control over the daily lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1636956460929{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Understanding Pain in less than 5 minutes, and what to do about it!<\/h5>\n<div id=\"info\" class=\"style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer\"><\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"gem-youtube gem-wrapbox gem-wrapbox-style-no-style rounded-corners gem-wrapbox-position-below\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><div class=\"gem-wrapbox-inner gem-ratio-style\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%\"><iframe class=\"gem-wrapbox-element img-responsive\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C_3phB93rvI?rel=0&amp;wmode=opaque\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Credit for the video to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hnehealth.nsw.gov.au\/pain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.hnehealth.nsw.gov.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1539776173479{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div id=\"fullwidth-block-6632123804dfd\" class=\"fullwidth-block fullwidth-block-parallax-vertical clearfix\" data-mobile-parallax-enable=\"1\" style=\"padding-top: 200px;padding-bottom: 200px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (typeof(gem_fix_fullwidth_position) == \"function\") { gem_fix_fullwidth_position(document.getElementById(\"fullwidth-block-6632123804dfd\"));
