Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain is probably one of the most frustrating conditions to suffer with, and certainly a very complex one to treat.

​

There are four main things to know about Shoulder Pain:

​

1.  The pain is not a good indicator of the problem

​

2.  Don't always worry about the scans

​

3. EXrcise is almost always the best way to treat it.

​

4. Surgery should only be considered as a last option.

​

1.  Exercise is almost always the best way to treat it.

​

The shoulder is a very complex joint and unlike the hip which is a ball and socket joint, the shoulders socket is only a third of the size of the head of the upper arm bone, the Humerus.

​

This means that the shoulder is almost entirely dependent on ligament support (known as Passive structures) and muscle control (known as Active structures).

​

Because of this

​

1. don't just put up with it it will often not get better

​

2.  come for an appointment and assess fully what is going on
