Physio Spirit / Shoulder pain
A shoulder that won't lift.
Shoulders lose range quickly and get it back slowly, so the sooner it is assessed the better.
Does this sound like you?
Physiotherapy can help manage symptoms commonly associated with the problems below. What is right for you depends on an individual assessment.
- Can't reach a high shelf, or behind your back
- Sleeping on that side wakes you
- Pain putting on a shirt or fastening a seatbelt
- It started after a fall, a lift, or nothing at all
- The arm feels weak rather than just sore
- You have been told it is a rotator cuff or frozen shoulder
What we actually do about it.
Manual therapy
Hands-on mobilisation to give the joint its range back.
Dry needling
Releasing the tight rotator cuff and upper back muscles.
Taping
Shoulder blade support so the joint tracks properly as you move.
Band rehab
Progressive TheraBand work — the part that actually keeps it better.
Your first appointment.
Get assessed
