Shoulder Pain Physiotherapy

Shoulder pain is the 3rd most common musculoskeletal complaint. The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body — and that mobility comes with inherent instability. At ASPIRE we are first-point-of-call experts in all types of shoulder pain.

Common Causes

What causes this condition?

🔄

Rotator Cuff Conditions

Rotator cuff tendinopathy, partial and full thickness tears are extremely common. Weakness causes the humeral head to impinge surrounding structures causing pain and dysfunction.

🫧

Bursitis & Impingement

Sub-acromial impingement and bursitis cause a painful arc of movement. Highly responsive to targeted physiotherapy and strengthening.

🧊

Frozen Shoulder

Adhesive capsulitis causes progressive stiffness and pain across all ranges. Our physiotherapists are experienced in managing all stages of frozen shoulder.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can physiotherapy fix a rotator cuff tear? ▾
Partial rotator cuff tears respond very well to physiotherapy. Full thickness tears may also be managed conservatively depending on size and symptom severity.
How long does shoulder physiotherapy take? ▾
Most shoulder conditions show significant improvement within 6–12 sessions. Frozen shoulder may take longer given its natural stages.
Do I need a scan for shoulder pain? ▾
Not necessarily. Most shoulder conditions are clinically diagnosed. Your physiotherapist will refer for imaging if needed to confirm diagnosis.
