]]> Around 47.5% of adults with Tourette syndrome suffer from pain due to tics. There is currently not much research available to suggest the use of physiotherapeutic treatment methods to offer relief from tic pain and/or a reduction in the severity of tics, however, there is self-reported evidence online and within the Tourette’s community.

If evidence states that pain and tic severity could be reduced through physiotherapy, it will help people with Tourette’s manage their symptoms by raising awareness of the potential benefits of physiotherapy, and physiotherapeutic treatment methods. Symptom management in Tourette’s could help improve the quality of life for individuals with Tourette’s.

Participants will be asked to complete a 10 minute anonymous online questionnaire.
