Rotator cuff pain, frozen shoulders, rowers, swimmers and climbers.
Pain when you lift your arm, reach behind you or lie on that side. Usually the tendons of the rotator cuff complaining about load.
An ache on the outside of the upper arm, sharper when you lift the arm out to the side or overhead, and often worse at night when you lie on it.
Expect six to twelve weeks of steady exercise. Night pain usually eases first.
Tendons like load, gradually. Rest makes them weaker and too much too soon makes them angrier, so the work is finding the middle. We build a programme that strengthens the shoulder a little more each week, and help with the pain along the way.
Most shoulders get better without injections or surgery. When one does not, we will tell you, and who to see.
We usually start with physiotherapy session, 45 minutes, €50.
Something to start with at home
8 to 10 slides, once or twice a day. Some discomfort is fine; sharp pain means stop lower.
A shoulder that becomes painful and then stiff over months. It does thaw. We help with the pain and keep you moving while it does.
A deep ache, then gradual stiffness: reaching up to a shelf or behind to fasten something becomes impossible. Often in people between forty and sixty, and more often with diabetes.
It is slow: often a year or more from start to finish, though most of that time is much better than the start.
In the painful phase, gentle movement and advice on sleep and pain relief. In the stiff phase, more stretching and strengthening. We explain what to expect in each phase, which takes a lot of the worry out of it.
We usually start with physiotherapy session, 45 minutes, €50.
Something to start with at home
30 seconds each way, a few times a day, especially before sleep.
Not sure this is you? Most people are not a textbook case. Book a first assessment and we will find out together.
