Body areas

Shoulder

The shoulder is highly mobile. That makes it adaptable, but it can also be vulnerable to strain from repetitive or overhead activity.

Understanding the concern

About Shoulder concerns

Shoulder concerns can develop gradually from repetitive tasks, sport or posture, or follow a specific strain. They often affect reaching, dressing, lifting and sleep.

Rehabilitation usually focuses on restoring range of motion, strengthening the muscles that support the shoulder and gradually returning to the activities you need.

Common experiences

  • Discomfort reaching overhead or behind the back
  • Night discomfort when lying on the side
  • Weakness lifting objects
  • Stiffness or reduced range of motion
