Most of us are using our hands constantly throughout the day and the shoulders facilitate this. Therefore shoulder issues can hinder your ability to move freely and can cause a great deal of pain and discomfort.

The shoulder is a very mobile structure but relies on its surrounding muscles for stability and control of movement. As a result we see a lot of patients with rotator cuff problems involving the muscles around the shoulder but we also see other conditions such as frozen shoulder, which can be particularly disabling for many.

When treating shoulder issues it is always important to consider the surrounding anatomy and other factors. Stress, posture or even back or elbow issues can have a substantial impact on the health of the shoulder so our practitioners will always manage the shoulder as part of “the bigger picture”.
