How Bridge Physiotherapy can treat Shoulder Pain.
The shoulder is a complex structure, and pain in the shoulder or upper arm can be caused by a problem with the muscles, tendons and other soft tissues or by arthritis in the joint. Sometimes pain in the shoulder can also be related to a problem in the neck.
Shoulder problems are very common, often have a simple cause and resolve within a short period of time.
How can I help myself to get better?
Minor injuries, such as mild sprains and strains, can be treated at home and should start to improve after a few of days. Using a protection, rest and ice regime initially can help.
Many episodes of shoulder pain get better or improve on their own, however if symptoms do not resolve you will likely benefit from gaining advice from Physiotherapy.
