If you're experiencing shoulder pain, stiffness, or discomfort, it can be easy to dismiss it as a passing issue or attribute it to overexertion.
You might think it's just a typical ache or stiffness that comes with age and assume it'll vanish on its own. However, despite the lack of an obvious cause, the pain persists and has been lingering for a significant period.
If this scenario sounds familiar, you're not alone – this is a situation we frequently encounter. In fact, persistent shoulder pain ranks among the most prevalent concerns we address at Physio Performance.

Shoulder pain can stem from various reasons, including rotator cuff injuries, tendonitis, bursitis, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), arthritis, shoulder impingement, or shoulder dislocation.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination by a healthcare professional to assess range of motion, strength, and any signs of injury or inflammation. Imaging tests like X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound may be ordered to identify specific issues.
Treatment for shoulder pain often includes rest, pain management (e.g., medication or injections), physical therapy, exercises to strengthen shoulder muscles and improve flexibility, and sometimes, in severe cases, surgery.
Recovery time varies based on the cause and severity of the shoulder pain. Acute cases might improve within a few days or weeks, while chronic shoulder pain might require ongoing management and take longer to alleviate.
While rest is important initially, maintaining some level of gentle activity and specific shoulder exercises, as advised by a healthcare professional, can often aid in recovery and prevent stiffness.
Maintaining good posture, avoiding overuse or repetitive strain on the shoulder, incorporating shoulder-strengthening exercises into a fitness routine, and using proper techniques for lifting or carrying heavy objects can help prevent shoulder pain.
It's advisable to seek medical attention if shoulder pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by weakness or limited mobility, or if it follows an injury or trauma.
In some cases, chronic shoulder pain might lead to reduced mobility, muscle weakness, or restricted daily activities if left untreated. Seeking timely medical advice can help prevent potential complications.
Yes, certain exercises focusing on shoulder mobility, strengthening, and flexibility can alleviate shoulder pain. Your healthcare provider or physiotherapist can recommend specific exercises tailored to your condition.
Ensuring proper ergonomic setup of workstations, taking frequent breaks to stretch, maintaining good posture, and avoiding activities that exacerbate shoulder pain can help manage discomfort while working.
Please note that these FAQs provide general information and should not replace personalised advice from a qualified healthcare professional. It is important to consult with a trusted physiotherapist to assess your individual case and determine the most suitable treatment plan for your shoulder pain.
