Rotator Cuff Strain – Don't Shoulder the Burden Alone!
Shoulder pain making daily tasks a struggle? A rotator cuff strain can limit your movement and strength, but early management can make all the difference.
Here’s how we handle it:
1️⃣ Pain Relief: We use a variety of manual therapies, including massage, dry needling, and mobilisations, to reduce pain and restore function.
2️⃣ Exercise Prescription: Keeping the shoulder mobile with pain-free exercises helps prevent stiffness and improve recovery.
3️⃣ Load Management: Prescribing the right exercises at the right intensity allows you to stay active while keeping pain under control.
4️⃣ Gradual Return to Activity: Once the pain settles, a structured return to activity, combined with long-term targeted strengthening, improves function and reduces the risk of re-injury.
🚨 When to Seek Help:
🔶 Persistent pain or weakness
🔶 Difficulty lifting or rotating your arm
🔶 Clicking, clunking, or instability in the joint
