Shoulder Pain

This one is personal for me. Whilst for regulatory reasons I can’t claim to be a shoulder specialist, it is an area of the body that I have a special interest in. Shoulder pain has been something I lived with for a long period of time. Thus a lot of the professional development I have done since graduating has been focused on the shoulder.

The shoulder joint is special in the sense that it is a ball and socket joint that is very mobile. This allows humans to do phenomenal things such as push / pull / throw and carry. The trade off is that the joint is prone to injury as one of the most common physiotherapy presentations.

Conditions we routinely treat include

• Impingement syndrome

• Rotator cuff tears

• Frozen shoulder / Adhesive capsulitis

• Bursitis

• Labral tears / SLAP tears

• Shoulder dislocations

• Fractures (collarbone/ clavicle, scapula, humerus)

• Referred shoulder pain

• Shoulder surgery prehab

• Post shoulder surgery rehabilitation
