Physiotherapy is a highly effective approach to treating shoulder pain, offering relief and facilitating recovery without the need for surgery or medication. Shoulder pain can arise from various causes, including muscle strains, tendonitis, bursitis, or joint instability.

​

The first step in physiotherapy is a comprehensive assessment by a skilled physiotherapist, which involves examining range of motion, muscle strength, and palpation to determine the root cause of the pain. Based on this evaluation, a customized treatment plan is created to address the individual’s specific needs.

​

Treatment for shoulder pain often combines manual therapy, targeted exercises, and electrotherapy techniques. Manual therapy, such as joint and soft tissue mobilization, helps restore movement and alleviate pain. Therapeutic exercises are designed to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance stability around the shoulder. Modalities like ultrasound, heat or cold therapy, and electrical stimulation may be used to further reduce pain and control inflammation.

​

Physiotherapy focuses on restoring full mobility, increasing strength and stability, and minimizing pain and inflammation. It also addresses posture and movement patterns to prevent future issues. Consistent physiotherapy sessions and adherence to prescribed exercises and home care routines are key to achieving the best results.
