The Benefits of Physiotherapy for Shoulder Pain and Scheduling Your Treatment

Shoulder pain can be a persistent and frustrating issue, affecting everything from lifting objects to basic daily movements. Whether caused by an injury, poor posture, or a degenerative condition, physiotherapy provides an effective, non-invasive way to relieve pain and restore movement.

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can result from various conditions, including:

• Rotator Cuff Injuries – Tears or inflammation in the shoulder’s rotator cuff muscles can cause pain and limited movement.
• Frozen Shoulder – Stiffness and reduced mobility in the shoulder joint, often worsening over time.
• Tendonitis and Bursitis – Inflammation of the tendons or bursa due to overuse or repetitive motion.
• Arthritis – Wear and tear in the shoulder joint can lead to stiffness and discomfort.
• Poor Posture and Muscle Imbalances – Sitting for long periods or carrying heavy bags can create imbalances that cause pain.

How Physiotherapy Can Help

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in reducing shoulder pain and restoring movement. Here’s how:

1. Pain Management and Inflammation Reduction
   Techniques such as soft tissue massage, manual therapy, and electrotherapy help reduce pain and inflammation.
2. Restoring Mobility and Flexibility
   Joint mobilisation and stretching exercises improve shoulder movement and reduce stiffness.
3. Strengthening Shoulder Muscles
   Targeted strengthening exercises enhance stability and prevent recurring injuries.
4. Postural Correction and Ergonomic Advice
   Improving posture can relieve strain on the shoulder, preventing pain from returning.
5. Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation
   A personalised rehabilitation plan helps maintain a strong, pain-free shoulder.
