Shoulder Pain Treatment
Your shoulder has the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body, which also makes it vulnerable to injury.
Move Freely Again Without Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can appear when you reach overhead, lift a bag, play sports, or even try to sleep comfortably. Whether it feels like a sharp sting, a dull ache, or a complete loss of movement, shoulder pain can affect your daily activities and make simple tasks feel overwhelming. At Silver Physio, our clinicians specialize in identifying the root cause of your discomfort and creating treatment plans that restore strength, mobility, and confidence in every movement.
Why Does Shoulder Pain Happen?
Your shoulder has the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body, which also makes it vulnerable to injury. It functions as a ball and socket joint supported by muscles, tendons, cartilage, and fluid-filled bursae. When any part of this system becomes irritated, worn out, or injured, pain and limited mobility follow.
The type of pain you feel depends on the underlying condition. For example, impingement may cause pain when lifting your arm, while arthritis can create constant aching. Shoulder injuries can develop suddenly after trauma or slowly over time due to repetitive movements, poor posture, or muscle imbalances.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Impingement
Lower back pain is one of the most frequent injuries in golfers. Our physiotherapists assess your golf swing and follow-through to identify causes of strain. Treatment may include manual therapy, soft tissue techniques, and targeted exercises to restore strength and mobility.
Rotator Cuff Injury
This overuse injury causes inflammation on the inside of the elbow and can extend down the forearm. It makes swinging and lifting motions painful. We provide exercises, stretching, and manual therapy to relieve pain and restore function.
Tendinitis
Repetitive swinging can cause swelling in the tendons controlling hand and finger movement. Our team uses specific exercises and therapy to reduce inflammation and improve tendon mobility.
Frozen Shoulder
Rotator cuff injuries occur from repetitive swinging or acute trauma. Damage to the shoulder muscles and tendons can limit your range of motion. We combine strengthening exercises, manual therapy, and rehabilitation programs to restore full shoulder function.
Arthritis
Rotator cuff injuries occur from repetitive swinging or acute trauma. Damage to the shoulder muscles and tendons can limit your range of motion. We combine strengthening exercises, manual therapy, and rehabilitation programs to restore full shoulder function.
