Scapular Dyskinesia

Scapular Dyskinesia or ‘winging scapula’ results from a muscular imbalance in the postural muscles that act to keep the shoulder blade against the thoracic spine. This can result from injury, muscular weakness or nerve damage.
The disordered movement pattern of the shoulder blade may also cause other conditions in the shoulder such as impingement syndrome due to the stress it places on the tendons.

Our shoulder blade requires ordered movement to maximise muscle function and to allow us to complete overhead activities.

Physiotherapy treatment of this condition requires soft tissue manipulation and an individualised exercise programme to strengthen the weak muscles, reduce the activity of the muscles that are over active and restore a natural resting position of the shoulder blade.

Testimonials...

Just wish I’d seen Hayley many years ago after my breast surgery. After 18 months of pain I am now almost pain free having had treatment for a few short months from Hayley. Thank you so much

Three different orthopaedic consultants referred me to Nick Garland for knee, back and wrist problems and I have returned for golf related injuries. I have been absolutely delighted with the treatments received and will continue to recommend the practice to family and friends. The practice provides high levels of professional expertise coupled with an integrity that I found lacking in most other chiropractic/osteopathy/physiotherapy practices I have visited over the years. They are first class, friendly and competent.

Excellent physio care delivered with skill and confidence

Hayley is Ace! All staff friendly and helpful. Reception team EXCELLENT too! Have recommended to several people and they think the same

Excellent service; all round mind body and soul. I was in great pain and was very anxious when I first came for physiotherapy and have now made a 100% recovery.
