Shoulder pain assessment, treatment and rehabilitation

Shoulder Conditions We Treat

We see a range of shoulder problems, including sports injuries, ongoing shoulder pain and post-operative rehabilitation.

  • Injuries affecting the muscles and tendons around the shoulder, often causing pain, weakness and difficulty lifting the arm.

  • Pain and increasing stiffness that can significantly reduce shoulder movement, particularly reaching overhead or behind your back.

  • Damage to the cartilage around the shoulder joint that can cause pain, clicking, catching or a feeling of instability.

  • Shoulder pain that can occur when lifting the arm, often linked to changes in movement, strength and load rather than one specific structure.

  • A shoulder that feels loose, weak or as though it may give way, sometimes following an injury where the shoulder has partially or fully come out of position.

  • Rehabilitation following shoulder surgery, including rotator cuff repair, stabilisation procedures and other shoulder operations.

  • Irritation of a fluid-filled sac around the shoulder, which can cause pain, tenderness and discomfort with movement.

  • Pain and irritation in the rotator cuff tendons, often aggravated by reaching, lifting or repetitive activity

  • Item description

  • Pain, tightness or tension around the shoulder, upper back or neck that may be affecting movement, posture, work or exercise.

  • Injuries to the joint at the top of the shoulder, commonly caused by a fall or direct impact.

  • Shoulder, neck or upper back pain and tension linked to prolonged sitting, desk work or repetitive daily activities.
