Whether your shoulder pain has developed gradually or followed an injury, it can make even simple daily activities difficult. Reaching overhead, lifting, dressing, driving or sleeping comfortably can all become painful and restricted.
Our experienced clinicians provide a thorough assessment to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms before creating a treatment programme tailored to your goals. Our focus is not only to relieve pain, but to restore strength, movement and confidence so you can return to the activities you enjoy.
Unlike many physiotherapy clinics, we combine hands-on treatment with progressive rehabilitation using our fully equipped gym facilities, functional exercise spaces and specialist rehabilitation equipment, ensuring your recovery continues beyond the treatment couch.
