Here at our Dublin clinic, we see a lot of people suffering with persistent shoulder pain and help them to recover. People of all activity levels can suffer with shoulder pain. Incredibly active people may often overload their shoulder. This sometimes involves doing things in the gym that their shoulder can’t completely cope with.
Other times people can experience shoulder pain for no apparent reason. That pain can be quite debilitating and can even spread down their arm. There can be a lot of fear and avoidance around this pain and people end up doing less and less expecting the pain to go. However, that pain comes back when they try to move and use it again. It can therefore have us stuck in a vicious cycle not really knowing what to do.
We fully listen to your story. Generally, your pain is telling you that something needs to change and what works for shoulder rehab is an active exercise-based approach as opposed to a passive approach like massage, needles and other modalities. Rest definitely does not get you out of pain long term.
We will listen to what you may be doing or not doing and what you want to be able to do. We will thoroughly assess your neck and shoulder. Making a change in the first session is something we achieve here at the clinic to show you what you can do to help yourself. You will get your exercise plan directly to your phone after the session.
Once you experience more control over your shoulder pain and able to change your symptoms, generally that enables you to become more active again and start getting back doing the things you enjoy. If you have any questions or are looking to make an appointment, get in touch and we’ll get you back doing what you love.
