Shoulder pain
Caoimhe Garvey

Shoulder pain is a common issue that can significantly impact daily life and mobility, whether it is due to an injury, overuse, or underlying conditions. Understanding what causes shoulder pain is key to effective treatment.
Common culprits include rotator cuff injuries, tendons, muscle imbalances, poor posture, or even issues like frozen shoulder.
As physiotherapists, we assess shoulder pain by examining range of motion, strength, and any specific movements that trigger discomfort. A quick postural analysis is also an extremely important factor. Through this assessment, we pinpoint the root cause of your pain.
Treatment may involve
- A combination of exercises to strengthen supporting muscles
- Manual therapy
- Soft tissue therapy
- Dry Needling
