Shoulder Pain

The shoulder joint allows a lot of movement, however, this movement comes at the expense of stability and security, and is often the cause of many dislocation and instability conditions. The shoulder joint is a “ball and socket” joint, and is supported by a network of ligaments and muscles. More specifically, the shoulder joint is supported and controlled by four muscles known as the rotator cuff: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis. Shoulder pain occurs when these small, but very important stabilisers are easily overloaded and injured due to poor exercise design and technique.

Here at The Physicaltherapy Centre all our treatment of shoulder pain are individualised to the patient.
