Shoulder Pain Management at Ulverston Physio
Normal shoulder function is essential for performing daily activities, as abnormal function can significantly affect even simple tasks such as washing, dressing, cooking, and cleaning. Shoulder injuries can also impact your ability to engage in sports that involve throwing, catching, lifting, running, and swimming, highlighting the importance of maintaining healthy shoulder function.
At Ulverston Physiotherapy, your Chartered Physiotherapist Les Potter will conduct a comprehensive assessment and provide targeted treatment for shoulder problems and injuries as part of a personalised rehabilitation program designed to help you achieve your specific goals.
Les Potter will carry out an initial Physiotherapy assessment at our Physiotherapy clinic in Ulverston to identify the underlying causes of your shoulder issue. Following this, a combination of treatments will be employed to address what can often be painful and debilitating injuries. These treatments may include massage therapy, muscle stretching, manipulation, mobilisation, and a robust functional rehabilitation program focused on strengthening your shoulder to facilitate a return to your daily activities or sports.
In the majority of cases, shoulder pain can be effectively resolved with the appropriate treatment at our Ulverston Physiotherapy clinic. However, there may be some instances where shoulder pain does not improve, and you may need to consult your GP for further investigations. If this is required, we will explain the process to you throughout your treatment journey and across your care pathway.
