Our Story

Founded in 2019 by Alison Jane Gillham, Link Chronic Pain Rehabilitation was created to meet a growing need for community-based, multidisciplinary pain services in the South East.

Alison is a highly experienced physiotherapist and clinical pain specialist, with a career spanning over 30 years. Her work in the NHS, private sector, and legal settings highlighted a gap in holistic, accessible care for people living with persistent pain. LINK CPR was her solution — a service built to deliver real rehabilitation beyond hospital walls.

Treating the whole person, not just symptoms

Our Mission

We help people with long-term pain rebuild their lives. We know that pain affects more than just the body — it impacts mental wellbeing, work, relationships, and independence.

That’s why our model combines physiotherapy, psychology, occupational therapy, and mindfulness — supported by links with leading pain consultants. Every programme is individualised, compassionate, and designed to work in real-world settings.

Alison’s Experience

Alison Gillham brings decades of practical insight to every care plan. Her credentials include:

  • Advanced practice in chronic pain services (NHS & private sector)
  • Medico-legal expert witness work
  • Regional case management and multidisciplinary team leadership

Alison maintains current best practices through continual CPD, conference attendance, and clinical supervision. She is known for her client-focused approach and passion for tailoring rehab to each person’s journey.
