Shoulder Pain
The shoulder plays a crucial role in daily activities, which is why shoulder pain or injury can be particularly frustrating and debilitating. The shoulder joint is a complex structure with several potential sources of pain, including tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bursae. Because of this complexity, it's essential to have a personalized rehabilitation plan that addresses the specific source of your pain. Shoulder injuries commonly result from overuse, repetitive motions, or increased load, but can also be caused by trauma, such as sports injuries or motor vehicle accidents. Symptoms often include sharp or aching pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, and difficulty performing everyday tasks like dressing or cleaning. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, we recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our therapists.
How Can We Help?
Although shoulder injuries can be painful and frustrating, they often respond well to physiotherapy treatment. Our therapists will conduct a thorough assessment to identify the factors contributing to your pain and create an individualized treatment and management plan tailored to your needs.
