Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can range from mild stiffness to sharp, disabling discomfort. It often affects your ability to perform everyday tasks like reaching, lifting, or sleeping comfortably. Physiotherapy is an effective way to relieve pain and restore full shoulder function.

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

• Rotator cuff injuries or tears
• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
• Tendonitis or bursitis
• Shoulder impingement syndrome
• Arthritis or joint degeneration
• Shoulder dislocation or trauma
• Poor posture or repetitive strain

How Physiotherapy Can Help

Our physiotherapists will:

• Assess your shoulder's strength, flexibility, and movement
• Identify the root cause of your pain
• Provide hands-on treatments such as massage and joint mobilisations
• Design a personalised exercise program to improve mobility and strength
• Teach you techniques to avoid further injury and manage pain
• Support your gradual return to work, sports, or daily activities

When Should You See a Physiotherapist?

Book an appointment if you experience:

• Persistent shoulder pain
• Pain that worsens with movement or at night
• Weakness or numbness in your arm or hand
• Difficulty lifting or using your arm normally

Tips to Protect Your Shoulders
