Understanding Shoulder Pain:

Shoulder pain can arise from various conditions, two common ones being:

• Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): This condition causes stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint due to inflammation and thickening of the capsule surrounding the joint. It typically progresses through three stages: freezing (pain and limited movement), frozen (severe stiffness), and thawing (gradual improvement in movement).
• Shoulder Arthritis: Wear and tear of the cartilage in the shoulder joint can lead to osteoarthritis, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.

Symptoms of Shoulder Pain:

• Pain in the shoulder, often worse at night or with certain movements.
• Difficulty reaching overhead or behind the back.
• Limited range of motion in the shoulder joint.
• Weakness in the arm.
• Clicking or grinding sensations in the shoulder.

Benefits of Physiotherapy for Shoulder Pain:

Physiotherapy offers a safe and effective approach to managing shoulder pain without medication or surgery. Here are some key benefits:

• Pain Relief: Physiotherapy techniques like manual therapy, ultrasound, and modalities can help reduce pain and inflammation.
• Improved Range of Motion: Exercises designed to stretch and strengthen the shoulder muscles and improve joint mobility.
• Restored Function: Regain the ability to perform daily activities with greater ease and confidence.
• Strength and Stability: Targeted exercises strengthen muscles around the shoulder joint, improving stability and preventing future injuries.
• Reduced Reliance on Medication: Physiotherapy can help manage pain, potentially reducing the need for pain medication.
