Shoulder

There are many reasons people have problems with their shoulders.  The shoulder joint is a very flexible joint, designed primarily for mobility it undergoes at times, high levels of strain as we work through the incredible functional ability of this region. This strain influences the joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons. 

Some injuries to the shoulder are traumatic, such as a fracture or dislocation. Others are related more to overload or wear and tear and some shoulder pain can be referred from the neck and upper back. So, you can see that it may take some time from an experienced doctor or physiotherapist to uncover what is wrong with your shoulder and what factors are contributing to it. Only once this is done can an effective treatment plan be developed. This may involve seeking more information from a scan or x-ray or being referred to an orthopaedic specialist. 

The physiotherapists at Physio@439 take their time to take a detailed history, and objective assessment to fully understand your shoulder problem. From there they can plan an effective treatment strategy.  Some of our physiotherapists work with leading shoulder surgeons in Adelaide and assist them with their post-surgical rehabilitation programs.
