Physiotherapy Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain is a common issue that can significantly impact your daily life, making even simple tasks challenging and uncomfortable. Whether it's caused by a rotator cuff injury, frozen shoulder, arthritis, or another condition, shoulder pain can limit your mobility and reduce your quality of life. At West Calgary Physio & Massage, we specialize in providing effective physiotherapy for shoulder pain, offering unique treatment approaches tailored to your specific needs.  

The Problem of Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can arise from various causes, including overuse, poor posture, trauma, or degenerative conditions. Common symptoms include stiffness, swelling, weakness, and a reduced range of motion. If left untreated, shoulder pain can lead to chronic discomfort and further complications, affecting your ability to work, exercise, and perform daily activities.  

Unique Treatment Approaches at West Calgary Physio & Massage

At West Calgary Physio & Massage, we understand that each patient's shoulder pain is unique, and we develop customized treatment plans to address the root cause of your pain. Here are some of the unique approaches we use:  

Comprehensive Assessment

Our first step is a thorough assessment to identify the underlying cause of your shoulder pain. We take the time to review your medical history, conduct a detailed physical examination, and understand your symptoms and lifestyle. This comprehensive assessment allows us to create a personalized treatment plan that targets your specific condition.  

Joint Mobilization and Manipulation

One of our unique treatment methods involves joint mobilization and manipulation. These hands-on techniques help to restore proper joint function, reduce pain, and increase mobility. By gently moving and stretching the shoulder joint, we can alleviate stiffness and improve its range of motion.    

Customized Exercise Programs

Exercise is a crucial component of our physiotherapy for shoulder pain. Our physiotherapists design customized exercise programs that focus on strengthening the muscles supporting the shoulder, improving flexibility, and enhancing overall stability. We guide you through each exercise, ensuring that you perform them correctly to maximize their effectiveness and prevent further injury.  

Postural Correction and Ergonomic Advice

Poor posture is a common contributor to shoulder pain. At West Calgary Physio & Massage, we provide postural correction exercises and ergonomic advice to help you maintain proper alignment in your daily activities. By improving your posture, we can reduce the strain on your shoulder and prevent future pain.  

Patient Education and Self-Management

Education is a key component of our approach. We empower our patients with the knowledge and tools they need to manage their shoulder pain and prevent recurrence. Our physiotherapists will teach you about proper body mechanics, techniques to avoid shoulder strain, and self-care strategies to maintain your progress between sessions.
