Shoulder Pain
Shoulder Pain
There are many reasons why people develop shoulder pain, and it can affect any age group. The shoulder joint is intricately designed to facilitate a broad spectrum of movements, yet this flexibility also makes it prone to numerous injuries and ailments. Shoulder pain can manifest in different forms, from a constant, dull ache to intense, stabbing pains that limit your arm’s mobility. Shoulder pain can significantly impact your daily life, affecting everything from simple tasks like dressing to more complex activities like lifting and sports.
Common Reasons for Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can result from various conditions and injuries, including:
- Rotator Cuff Injuries: Tears or strains in the rotator cuff muscles can cause significant pain and limit shoulder movement.
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): This condition involves stiffness and pain that gradually worsens over time, leading to limited mobility.
- Shoulder Impingement: When shoulder tendons are compressed during arm movements, it can lead to pain and inflammation.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the shoulder’s bursae (fluid-filled sacs) can cause pain and restrict movement.
- Arthritis: Degenerative joint diseases like osteoarthritis can lead to chronic shoulder pain and stiffness.
- Dislocations and Fractures: Traumatic injuries can dislocate or fracture the shoulder, resulting in acute pain and functional limitations.

Robin McAlpine Got an appointment with Paula who is knowledgeable, friendly and gives plenty (but not too many) of useful rehab exercises. Ben James Outstanding Physio, Paula is very professional, friendly and relaxed, and clearly very knowledgeable. The physio room itself has a nice vibe and is always clean. Particularly convenient if you are a member of St M's Gym. I would highly recommend. Zivile Stanton I was met by a smiling cheerful Paula who immediately diagnosed why I am having the back pain.
