Upper Arm Pain Management at Ulverston Physio
Normal function of the upper arm is crucial for performing daily activities. When upper arm function is compromised, even simple tasks such as washing, dressing, cooking, and also cleaning can become challenging. Upper arm injuries can also affect your participation in sports involving throwing, catching, lifting, running, and swimming, emphasising the importance of maintaining healthy upper arm function.
At Ulverston Physiotherapy, your Chartered Physiotherapist Les Potter will conduct a comprehensive assessment and provide targeted treatment for upper arm problems and injuries as part of a personalised rehabilitation program designed to help you achieve your specific goals.
Physiotherapist Les Potter will perform an initial Physiotherapy assessment at our Ulverston Physio clinic to identify the underlying causes of your upper arm issue. Following this assessment, a combination of treatments will be employed, pending Physio findings to address what can often be painful and debilitating injuries. These treatments may include massage therapy, muscle stretching, mobilisation, manipulation, and a robust functional rehabilitation program focused on maximising movement and strength of your upper arm to facilitate a return to your daily activities or sports.
In most cases, upper arm pain can be resolved well with the appropriate assessment and treatment at our Physiotherapy clinic in Ulverston. However, there might be some situations when shoulder pain does not improve, and you may need to contact your GP for further investigations. If this is required, we will explain the full process to you as part of your care and treatment pathway.
