Physiotherapy for Shoulder Pain
When it comes to shoulder injury rehabilitation, the initial protocol typically involves protecting the injured area, resting it, applying ice, and doing some gentle exercises to maintain pain-free movement. After that, your therapist will develop a personalized program for you, including range-of-motion and strength-building exercises, to help you get back to your regular activities. If you’re working with a physiotherapist who specializes in shoulder rehab, they may also use techniques like taping, joint mobilization, soft tissue treatment, or dry needling to further improve your shoulder’s recovery. All of these techniques are designed to ensure the best possible outcome for your shoulder injury. The tone of voice used is professional.
Physiotherapy Treatment for shoulder pain
Bursitis
Bursae, which are tiny sacs filled with fluid, are situated in the joints of the human body. These sacs serve as cushions between bones; however, inflammation can occur, leading to swelling and discomfort. This can hinder normal daily activities such as dressing or grooming.
Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
Excessively overloading the rotator cuff tissue can result in weakness and pain. This can be caused by repetitive tasks performed in challenging or awkward positions or degenerative changes in the tissue. It is important to take care of the rotator cuff to avoid such issues.
Rotator Cuff Tendon tears
Tears in tendons may occur as either partial or full thickness and can be caused by acute injuries or degenerative changes that result from aging and overuse. As a professional in this field, it is important to note that no information can be omitted when discussing the causes of tendon tears.
Instability
Shoulder instability occurs when the components that keep the ball centralized in the socket joint fail to do so effectively. This can happen when the upper arm bone is dislocated partially (known as a subluxation) or fully (known as a dislocation). This can result in the tearing and loosening of ligaments, tendons, and muscles around the joint, leading to repeated dislocations. Shoulder instability can also be caused by inherent joint characteristics or repetitive movements in specific positions.
Arthritis
The shoulder joint is susceptible to various forms of arthritis, but osteoarthritis is the most prevalent type. This condition is typically induced by the gradual deterioration of the joint due to regular usage.
