How can Physio help me?
Shoulder pain is a very common condition seen by physiotherapists and provides a vital role in you recovery.
A Physiotherapist can provide you with a thorough assessment of your shoulder pain and consider all of the factors which are contributing to your pain. Understanding what is happening to your shoulder and why is essential for good clinical outcomes. A physiotherapist will spend time with you explaining this and how you can help yourself and then an individual treatment plan can be designed and implemented.
We regularly see patients before and after surgery with a broad range of injuries including fractures, muscle, tendon or ligament injuries, dislocations, nerve conditions and arthritis.
