The shoulder is one of the most mobile and most easily irritated joints in the body, which makes shoulder pain both common and often slow to resolve on its own. Whether it’s a nagging ache that’s crept in over months, sharp pain when reaching overhead, or stiffness that’s making it hard to sleep on that side, our Sydney CBD physiotherapists can help you understand what’s going on and build a plan to get it moving properly again.
Many shoulder conditions, particularly rotator cuff and impingement issues, are aggravated by lying on the affected side or by the arm position during sleep. We can suggest sleeping positions and pillow support alongside treatment.
Most shoulder conditions respond well to physiotherapy without surgery. We’ll monitor your progress and let you know if imaging or a specialist opinion looks necessary.
Frozen shoulder is a gradual stiffening of the shoulder joint that can take months to resolve. Physiotherapy can help manage pain and maintain movement through each stage of recovery.
Often yes, with some modification. We’ll help identify which movements are safe to continue and which need to be adjusted or temporarily avoided while you recover.
