Shoulder Pain
Shoulder Pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint that can affect people of all ages and activity levels.
What is Shoulder pain?
The shoulder is a highly mobile joint, making it vulnerable to injury, strain, and degenerative changes. Pain may arise from conditions such as rotator cuff tendinopathy, impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder, arthritis, or postural dysfunction. It can interfere with daily tasks like lifting, reaching, dressing, or sleeping comfortably..
- Shoulder pain may be caused by:
- Overuse or repetitive strain (e.g. lifting, sports, desk work)
- Poor posture or workstation setup
- Rotator cuff injuries or tears
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Shoulder impingement or bursitis
- Joint instability or dislocation
- Referred pain from the neck or thoracic spine
- These issues can lead to inflammation, stiffness, weakness, and reduced range of motion.
- At Physio Matters, our Shoulder Pain Rehabilitation is designed to relieve pain, restore function, and prevent recurrence. It may include:
- Comprehensive assessment to identify the root cause
- Manual therapy – joint mobilisation, soft tissue release, and trigger point techniques
- Targeted exercise therapy – stretching, strengthening, and postural correction
- Dry needling or deep tissue release – to address muscle tension and trigger points
- Education on ergonomics and movement strategies
- Functional training – to support return to work, sport, or daily activities
- Our approach is evidence-based and tailored to your lifestyle, helping you move more freely and confidently.
