Condition
Shoulder Pain
Assessment and treatment for shoulder stiffness, weakness and pain that limits your daily movement.
The shoulder is one of the body’s most mobile joints, which also makes it vulnerable to pain, stiffness and instability — whether that’s developed gradually or followed a specific injury.
How home physiotherapy can help
Your HSR physiotherapist will assess your shoulder’s movement, strength and stability, and ask about how your symptoms affect everyday tasks like reaching overhead, dressing, or carrying shopping. Treatment is tailored to your specific findings and typically combines hands-on techniques with a progressive, targeted exercise programme.
Because shoulder problems are often linked to daily tasks and habits, a home assessment lets your physiotherapist see exactly how you use your shoulder in the activities that matter most to you.
What a session may include
- Assessment of shoulder movement, strength and stability
- Hands-on treatment to ease pain and stiffness where appropriate
- A progressive exercise programme to rebuild strength and control
- Practical advice for daily activities and, where relevant, sport
Shoulder pain following a sporting incident is also covered from a broader perspective on our sports injuries page.
