Shoulders
Shoulder Pain
In order to allow you to use your arm for everyday activities of living and sports, your shoulder joint is designed to be very flexible. However, It’s very important that the muscles supporting the shoulder provide the shoulder with enough stability to prevent it from becoming irritated and painful. Common conditions of the shoulder, such as tendonitis, frozen shoulder and muscle strain can be successfully treated by Physiotherapy and Osteopathy using a combination of ‘hands on’ treatment and specific exercises to ensure the correct balance of flexibility and strength.
Sports Injuries
More and more people are participating in both recreational and competitive sporting activities in order to maintain their health and well being. From time to time sportsmen and women develop problems due to either a traumatic injury on the field of play or through repetitive strain whilst performing sport. People do not need to accept pain when participating in sport, as Physiotherapy and Osteopathy can help to identify the underlying causes of pain, including any faulty biomechanics, and deliver effective treatment to help people return to sport quickly and safely without their problem reoccurring.
