Shoulder Pain and Injuries

About Shoulder Injuries

Most patients who have experienced shoulder discomfort often complain of pain, stiffness in the joint or instability (clicking). These can be caused by a variety of reasons such as:

  • Muscle strains
  • Tendinopathy (tendon disorders that cause swelling or pain)
  • Arthritis
  • Joint instability
  • Hypermobility
  • Ligament sprains and tears

Shoulder pain is particularly common among the working population, racket sports players, and throwing sports players. It is unique to each individual but often has common causes, such as rotator cuff weakness or poor sitting posture.

Our physiotherapists will assess your shoulder and provide treatments for immediate relief. Our treatments include mobilization, soft tissue release, acupuncture, shockwave therapy and more.

Additionally, our physiotherapists will tailor an individualized home exercise routine for you to relieve your pain. This will include exercise tips and tricks to help you manage your pain in the long term and a step-by-step explanation of how you can return to your daily routine or resume doing sports.
