Shoulder pain can make it impossible for you to exercise or play your favourite sport. It can also make it hard for you to do everyday tasks such as grabbing something overhead or reaching behind your back. It can also cause you to have lingering worries about your health which can stress you out.

Our goal is for you to experience relief and recover as soon as possible. This way, you can get rid of the worries about your health and get back to your active lifestyle.
Is physiotherapy good for shoulder pain?
Yes. Physiotherapy can help reduce and get rid of the pain. It can also help you adopt helpful habits that will prevent recurrence. For example, better posture and some lifestyle modifications can remove the tension and make your bones and muscles move more smoothly and efficiently. This will take away some of the strain that goes into your shoulders and other parts of your body.
In relieving most types of shoulder pain, the following approaches are often effective:
Manual therapy
Therapeutic exercises
Education on the nature of pain (so you’ll be better aware of your posture and habits)
Quick exercises you can do at home or work
Full rest and inactivity is often not recommended. That’s because our bodies are meant to move and physical inactivity can cause other worse problems for our health and mood. It’s important to maintain some activity and ensure that you’re doing them safely and properly to prevent the pain from getting worse. Here, our physiotherapists can advise you of what safe activities you can do and how to do them.
