Shoulder Pain Physiotherapy: How We Can Help You
Shoulder pain can disrupt your daily life, making it difficult to perform routine tasks or enjoy your favorite activities. At Thrive Health Group, our physiotherapists are experts in diagnosing and treating shoulder pain, helping you return to a pain-free and active lifestyle. Here’s how our shoulder pain physiotherapy services can benefit you.
Comprehensive Assessment
The first step in addressing shoulder pain is a thorough assessment. Our physiotherapists will:
Conduct a Detailed History: We will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any activities that may have contributed to your shoulder pain.
Perform a Physical Examination: This includes assessing your shoulder's range of motion, strength, and any signs of swelling or deformity.
Identify the Root Cause: Whether it’s an injury, overuse, or an underlying condition, we aim to pinpoint the exact cause of your pain.
Tailored Treatment Plans
Based on the assessment, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include:
Manual Therapy: Techniques such as joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, and myofascial release to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Therapeutic Exercises: Customized exercises to strengthen the shoulder muscles, enhance flexibility, and restore function.
Education and Advice: Guidance on posture, ergonomics, and activity modification to prevent further injury and manage pain.
Common Shoulder Conditions We Treat
Our physiotherapists are experienced in managing a wide range of shoulder conditions, including:
Rotator Cuff Injuries: Strains, tears, and tendinopathies affecting the muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Characterized by stiffness and pain, often requiring a structured rehabilitation program.
Shoulder Impingement (now referred to as Rotator Cuff related shoulder pain or subacromial shoulder pain): Caused by compression of the tendons or bursa in the shoulder joint, leading to pain during movement.
Arthritis: Degenerative changes in the shoulder joint causing pain and stiffness, often managed with a combination of exercise and manual therapy.
Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that reduces friction in the shoulder, leading to pain and restricted movement.
Tendonitis: Inflammation of the shoulder tendons, often due to overuse or repetitive strain.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
For those recovering from shoulder surgery, our physiotherapists provide post-operative rehabilitation to ensure optimal recovery. This includes:
Gradual Progression of Exercises: Starting with gentle range-of-motion exercises and gradually progressing to strength and functional training.
Pain Management: Techniques to control pain and swelling, allowing for smoother recovery.
Functional Training: Exercises to restore normal shoulder function and facilitate a return to daily activities and sports.
Preventative Care
Preventing shoulder pain is as important as treating it. We offer:
Strength and Conditioning Programs: Designed to improve shoulder stability and prevent injuries.
Education on Ergonomics: Tips on maintaining proper posture and body mechanics during work and daily activities.
Sports-Specific Training: For athletes, tailored programs to enhance performance and reduce the risk of shoulder injuries.
