Shoulder Pain

Why Shoulder Pain Happens

The shoulder joint is one of the most mobile and complex joints in the body. It relies on a delicate balance of muscles, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and bursae to function properly. Because of this complexity, shoulder pain can stem from many different structures and can significantly affect everyday activities.

Common causes of shoulder injuries include:

  • Overuse and repetitive movements

  • Poor lifting technique or sudden increase in training load

  • Sports trauma or motor vehicle accidents

  • Postural stress and muscular imbalances

​

Symptoms of Shoulder Injuries

Shoulder pain often presents as:

  • Sharp or aching pain (especially when lifting or reaching)

  • Stiffness and reduced mobility

  • Weakness or instability in the joint

  • Difficulty with daily tasks like dressing, carrying, or overhead movements

​

How Physiotherapy Helps

At Pro Perform Physiotherapy in Woodvale, we tailor every shoulder rehabilitation program to the underlying cause of your pain. Our treatment approach includes:

  • Comprehensive assessment to identify contributing factors

  • Hands-on treatment for short-term pain relief (manual therapy, joint mobilisation, soft tissue release)

  • Targeted exercise programs to rebuild strength and restore mobility

  • Education on load management and posture to reduce flare-ups

  • Sport or work-specific rehab for safe return to activity

We progress rehab from early pain management to strength and stability training, ensuring you regain both function and confidence.
