Physiotherapy for Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is a very mobile joint which allows for the wide range of movement of the arm. However this mobility comes at a loss of stability, which leaves the shoulder highly susceptible to injury. Injury to the shoulder can be cause a loss of range of movement, pain and decreased strength. Physiotherapy aims to overcome these problems and restore normal movement to the shoulder. Some of the main causes of shoulder injury include:
- Adhesive capsulitis
- AC joint injury
- Calcific tendinopathy of the rotator cuff
- Dislocation of the shoulder joint
- Fracture
- Frozen shoulder
- Labral tear
- Levator scapulae syndrome
- Muscle imbalance
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy
- Rotator cuff tear
- Shoulder impingement
- Shoulder instability
- Thoracic outlet syndrome
- Winging scapula
