Had enough of shoulder pain?
Why painkillers are rarely the answer
Shoulder pain can make getting dressed, reaching up or a good night’s sleep feel like hard work. We find the cause and build a plan to get your shoulder moving freely again.
So many people with shoulder pain ask us:
“How did this happen?”
“Why do I have to continue putting up with this?”
You only realise how much you use your shoulders when one starts to hurt. Simple tasks you took for granted become awkward and uncomfortable. You hope to wake up one morning and find the pain has gone, but sadly that rarely happens.
The shoulder is a complex joint with more movement than any other in your body. That also means that when it goes wrong, it is unlikely to fix itself.
If you are reading this, you probably have shoulder pain you hoped would go away, and it hasn’t.
Is this something you have experienced?
The shoulder is a complex area, so you may well have been given conflicting advice. Understandably, many people start to accept pain and stiffness as part of life, and believe they have no choice but to live with it.
