Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can turn simple things into frustrating ones.

Getting dressed. Reaching into a cupboard. Sleeping on your side. Lifting at work. Training in the gym. Playing golf. Throwing a ball.

When your shoulder hurts every time you use it, it’s easy to start avoiding the movements that bother it.

At Motion, we’ll help you understand what’s happening, get things settled and work towards getting your shoulder back to doing what you need it to do.

You don’t need to know exactly what’s causing your shoulder pain before coming to see us.

We’ll start by understanding when it began, how it behaves, what makes it better or worse and what your shoulder is stopping you from doing.

We’ll then assess the areas relevant to your symptoms. This may include your shoulder movement, strength and mobility, alongside specific tests where they’re useful.

Sometimes symptoms around the shoulder can also be influenced by the neck or nerves, so we’ll assess these where appropriate rather than assuming every painful shoulder is purely a shoulder problem.

From there, we’ll explain what we think is happening and what you can do about it.
