Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can be caused by inflammation and dysfunction of the structures around the shoulder joint such as: shoulder bursitis, shoulder tendonitis, impingement syndrome or rotator cuff muscles and their tendons.

It is also possible that shoulder pain can be felt from a problem elsewhere in the body such as: the neck, nerves, upper back and even the diaphragm! Physiotherapists are experts at assessing whether your pain is coming from the shoulder or another source.

The anatomy of the ball and socket joint, combined with the movements of the shoulder blade and collar bone make the shoulder an extremely complex mechanical system. Therefore, the shoulder is very sensitive to abnormal loads and tensions.

Repetitive actions and poor muscle control can contribute to the formation of shoulder pain.

Following a thorough assessment and diagnosis with East Cliff dedicated physiotherapists, you will discover that there are many treatments available for managing shoulder pain. These include massage, joint mobilisation/manipulation, ultrasound, postural modification and a specialised home exercise programme. Our teams expertise will ensure that we find the right treatment to alleviate and manage your pain. Contact Us today to book an appointment.

Testimonials...

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

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

Excellent physio care delivered with skill and confidence

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.

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.
