💪 Shoulder pain slowing you down?
You might be dealing with shoulder tendinopathy — one of the most common causes of shoulder pain in active people and desk workers alike.
🩻 It happens when the tendons around the shoulder (often the rotator cuff) become overloaded, irritated, or weakened over time — usually from:
Repetitive overhead movements (lifting, throwing, swimming) 🏋️♀️
Poor posture or shoulder mechanics 💻
A sudden increase in training load 🚀
⚠️ Common signs include:
Dull, aching shoulder pain (especially lifting the arm)
Pain lying on that side at night
Stiffness or weakness in the shoulder
💡 What helps?
✅ Relative rest — don’t stop moving, but ease off painful loads
✅ Targeted exercise — strengthening and mobility are key
✅ Sports massage or soft tissue therapy — helps manage pain, improve movement, and support rehab
✅ Gradual load progression — tendons love consistency, not surprises!
💬 If shoulder pain is haunting your workouts or your sleep, don’t ignore it — early management makes all the difference.
💆♂️ Book in for an assessment or sports massage and let’s get your shoulder moving comfortably again!
