Common Shoulder Injuries We Treat at Specific Physiotherapy
At Specific Physiotherapy, we fully understand the impact of shoulder injuries on your daily activities.
Our experienced team treats a wide range of shoulder joint conditions, including adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), shoulder bursitis, rotator cuff tears, shoulder dislocations, shoulder impingement, and shoulder instability.
With our dedicated support and customised treatment plans, we aim to help you regain full strength and resume your daily activities without the burden of shoulder pain or limitations.
Adhesive Capsulitis - Frozen Shoulder
Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, can be a source of persistent shoulder pain and limited mobility. This condition occurs when the joint capsule of the shoulder becomes inflamed and tight, leading to restricted movement. At Specific Physiotherapy, our shoulder rehabilitation programs are designed to address the root causes of frozen shoulder. Whether you’re dealing with a true frozen shoulder or recovering from surgery, our rehabilitation strategies aim to alleviate inflammation, restore your shoulder joint’s mobility, and help you regain the ability to raise your arms overhead with improved comfort and recovery.
Shoulder Bursitis
Shoulder bursitis can significantly disrupt shoulder movement and lead to discomfort.
Our physiotherapy treatment at Specific Physiotherapy focuses on addressing shoulder problems caused by this condition.
We target areas of inflammation and work to reduce it while also addressing any associated weakness.
Our holistic approach aims to restore movement, break down scar tissue, and improve overall shoulder function so you can regain full control and mobility in your shoulder and neck area.
Rotator Cuff Tear
A rotator cuff tear can cause persistent shoulder pain and hinder your upper arm’s mobility.
This injury affects the rotator cuff muscles and tendons, particularly the supraspinatus, leading to discomfort and limited movement.
At Specific Physiotherapy, we understand the challenges posed by a rotator cuff tear and provide professional care to address this injury.
Our tailored treatment plans aim to promote healing, strengthen the shoulder blade, and restore the function of the rotator cuff, ensuring an extended period of recovery and minimising the impact of this tear on your daily activities.
Shoulder Dislocation
Shoulder dislocation can result in excruciating shoulder pain and compromise the mobility of your upper arm.
This type of shoulder injury requires careful attention to prevent further injury and ensure a swift recovery.
At Specific Physiotherapy, we treat shoulder dislocations and provide professional guidance on how to regain strength and mobility in this mobile joint.
For further information on our tailored rehabilitation programs and how we can help you recover from a shoulder dislocation, contact us today.
Shoulder Impingement
Shoulder impingement often leads to persistent shoulder pain and discomfort, affecting the stability and mobility of your shoulders.
This condition typically involves the compression of the rotator cuff tendons between the shoulder blades, resulting in pain and limited joint function.
At Specific Physiotherapy, our physiotherapy rehabilitation programs are designed to assist in alleviating shoulder impingement symptoms.
We focus on strengthening the shoulder muscles, improving joint stability, and promoting movement to help you regain full function and comfort in your shoulders.
Shoulder Joint Instability
Shoulder joint instability can significantly impact your range of motion and daily activities.
Our shoulder physiotherapy at Specific Physiotherapy addresses this condition, focusing on strengthening the surrounding muscles and providing effective treatment to enhance shoulder stability.
Our experienced physiotherapists are dedicated to helping you regain confidence in your shoulder’s motion and function, ensuring that you can enjoy an active lifestyle.

What are some good shoulder physiotherapy exercises?
Shoulder physiotherapy exercises play a pivotal role in addressing a range of shoulder issues, including rotator cuff injuries, shoulder instability, and stiffness. An effective exercise program tailored by a sports physiotherapy professional may encompass exercises like rotator cuff strengthening, range-of-motion exercises, and neck and body stretches to alleviate tension and improve joint mobility. These exercises target key shoulder muscles and joints, promoting recovery and ensuring that you’re ready to return to sports or daily activities with confidence.
Here are five effective physiotherapy shoulder exercises that can help alleviate shoulder pain:
Pendulum Exercises
This gentle exercise involves bending at the waist and allowing your arm to hang down. Slowly swing your arm in small circles, both clockwise and counterclockwise. This exercise helps improve shoulder mobility and reduces stiffness.
Rotator Cuff Strengthening
Perform exercises like external and internal rotations using resistance bands or lightweight dumbbells. These exercises target the rotator cuff muscles, enhancing stability and reducing pain.
Scapular Retraction
Sit or stand with proper posture and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Hold for a few seconds and then release. Repeat this exercise to strengthen the muscles that stabilise the shoulder blades.
Wall Angels
Stand with your back against a wall and your arms bent at a 90-degree angle, forming a “W” shape. Slowly slide your arms up the wall as high as you can without pain, then lower them back down. This exercise improves shoulder mobility and posture.
Cross-Body Stretch
Gently pull your affected arm across your chest with your opposite hand, holding it just below the elbow. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds to relieve tension in the shoulder and improve flexibility.
Remember to consult with our physiotherapist before starting an exercise program for shoulder pain to ensure that the exercises are appropriate for your specific condition. We will ensure you receive proper guidance on technique and progression with each exercise we give you.
