What is Shoulder Pain Physiotherapy?
The shoulder is one of the most complex and frequently injured joints in the body. It relies heavily on the surrounding muscles, tendons and ligaments for stability. Shoulder pain can arise from multiple structures and accurate diagnosis is critical because different shoulder conditions require different treatment approaches.

- Pain in the shoulder at rest or with movement

- Weakness in the shoulder or arm
- Clicking, catching or locking in the shoulder
- Stiffness and restricted range of motion
- Pain radiating down the arm or into the neck
Common Causes
- Rotator cuff tear or tendinopathy
- Shoulder impingement syndrome
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Acromioclavicular joint sprain or arthritis

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a scan for my shoulder?
In most cases no. Your physio can diagnose shoulder conditions clinically. If imaging is needed we will advise you and refer appropriately.
How long does a shoulder injury take to heal?
Most rotator cuff tendinopathies resolve within 6 to 12 weeks with appropriate treatment. Frozen shoulder typically takes longer. Your physio will give you a realistic timeline.
Can physiotherapy fix a rotator cuff tear?
Physiotherapy is the first line treatment for most rotator cuff tears. Many partial tears respond very well to conservative management.
Will my shoulder pain come back?
With proper rehabilitation including the strengthening and movement retraining we provide the risk of recurrence is significantly reduced.
