The shoulder is made up of several joints, muscles, and tendons that give the arm a wide range of motion. This mobility can lead to instability or impingement of the shoulder's soft tissue or bones, causing pain. The pain may be temporary or persistent and may require medical attention.

Shoulder pain can completely disrupt your normal day-to-day life since it’s associated with a wide of motions such as throwing a perfect pitch or scratching your back.

The good news is that physiotherapy has the solution you are seeking.

Causes Of Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain may be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Arthritis in the shoulder joint
• Bone spurs
• Bursitis (inflammation of a fluid-filled sac)
• A broken shoulder bone
• Dislocated shoulder or shoulder separation
• Frozen shoulder (stiffness and pain in the shoulder)
• Overuse or injury of nearby tendons
• Nerve injury that affects shoulder movement
• Tears in the rotator cuff tendons, and poor shoulder posture and mechanics.

In some cases, shoulder pain may be referred to as pain from another part of the body, such as the neck or lungs, and is not worsened by movement.

Symptoms Of Shoulder Pain

Some common signs and symptoms of shoulder pain may include warmth or redness in the shoulder, pain in the neck, arm, or back, a clicking or grinding sensation when moving the arm, muscle stiffness and weakness, and limited range of motion.

Can Physiotherapy Help?

With proper and guided physiotherapy, shoulder pain can not only be reduced and controlled, but also eradicated.

But how?

With physiotherapy, the shoulder muscles get strengthened, which gives relief from pain. Gradually, the joint functions are restored, and the range of motion is normalized.

Since exercises release natural painkillers, the patient is not dependent on medications and side-effects.

Besides, Physical therapy can improve blood circulation, particularly in the injured part of the body, which can facilitate faster and more effective healing. Some examples of shoulder stretches that may provide pain relief include the pendulum stretch and the crossover arm stretch.
