- Pain when lifting the arm overhead
- Pain reaching behind the back

- Weakness when lifting or pressing

If you are experiencing these symptoms, a physiotherapy assessment can help determine the cause and guide treatment.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain We Treat
Shoulder pain can develop gradually or after a specific movement or activity. Some common causes we see include:
- Rotator cuff irritation or overload
- Gym or weight training injuries
- Swimming related shoulder pain
- Sports injuries involving throwing or overhead movement
- Repetitive lifting or reaching at work
- Shoulder impingement or tendon irritation
- Sudden increases in training load
Shoulder pain often develops from a combination of movement and loading factors. Our assessment identifies the key contributors so treatment can be targeted and effective.
