the tendons from the bones. • The labrum: This is the cartilage that helps reinforce the cup that the ball fits into. Your shoulders can accomplish several physical feats due to their structure — however, this also means that they are at an increased risk of injury. When something becomes damaged in the shoulders, pain and discomfort develop. This pain may range from a dull ache to shooting pains, depending on the severity of the condition. COMMON CONDITIONS THAT CAUSE SHOULDER PAIN Pain from an acute injury can be sudden and intense, making it difficult for you to move your shoulder at all. Pain due to wear and tear or degenerative changes are often more achy and sore. The most common conditions affecting the shoulder are: • Strains: A strain occurs when a muscle or tendon is stretched too far or torn. Strains that are not resolved fully can lead to ongoing shoulder pain, making it difficult to partake in exercise or even daily tasks. • Tendinitis: Tendinitis in the shoulder joint occurs when the joint is injured or overused. This typically happens due to the demands of a sport or labor-intensive job, which can cause the tendons to experience ongoing irritation. • Cartilage injury: An injury to the cartilage will typically lead to a limited range of motion and may lead to decreased strength in the affected shoulder. Often you will experience pain when moving your arm in specific ways, but not others.
Have you been living with shoulder pain that wakes you up during the night? Do you find reaching overhead to be difficult and painful? You may be living with shoulder pain that can be resolved with physiotherapy. At Physio Studio, we have the solutions that you are looking for! Our shoulders are the most flexible and movable joints in the body. The shoulder joint consists of a ball and shallow socket that allows for an impressive range of motion. This mobility makes the shoulder more susceptible to injuries and pain because it depends on muscles to maintain stability and strength. When these muscles around the joint become weak or injured, the joint mechanics are affected, resulting in inflammation and pain. Call Physio Studio today to schedule an appointment with one of our physiotherapists so we can help you get back to your daily life, free of shoulder pains! UNDERSTANDING YOUR SHOULDER Your shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint, meaning that the humerus (ball) fits perfectly in the corresponding space in the shoulder blade (socket). Each end of the bone is protected by thick cartilage that offers mild support and allows for fluid movement. The shoulder has the following essential structures: • The rotator cuff: This is a group of muscles surrounding the shoulder joint providing support and movement through a wide range of motion. • The bursas: These are small sacs of fluid that cushion and protect COME BACK TO PHYSIOTHERAPY SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT TODAY!

LOOK UP AND DISCOVER THE RELIEF YOU DESERVE
• Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the two most common types of arthritis. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage in the shoulder joint experiences significant “wear and tear,” typically due to age or excessive overuse. Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the immune system sees the joints as a threat, resulting in pain and inflammation. In both cases, pain and loss of motion are typical. • Frozen shoulder: Medically referred to as adhesive capsulitis, a frozen shoulder can occur if you have been bedridden or your arm has been in a cast or sling for a while. Unfortunately, it can also happen without an apparent cause. This condition causes tissues to stiffen up and causes this painful condition to occur. HOW PHYSIOTHERAPY CAN HELP Rehabilitation should start immediately following most injuries to ensure the fastest recovery possible. A physiotherapist with experience treating shoulder pain will thoroughly evaluate the severity of your injury and identify any other limitations affecting your recovery, mobility, stability, or strength. At Physio Studio we will create a targeted, individualized care plan to promote accelerated recovery and future injury prevention. Your physiotherapist will guide you through a series of exercises designed to help the injury and return to your pre-injury abilities. We will start with pain management and restoring mobility to the injured shoulder. Next, we will focus on progressing your strength and dynamic stability exercises designed to restore function and prevent injuries. We will also incorporate any appropriate pain relief technique to help ensure you can resume doing all the activities you love.

PENDULUM WITH SUPPORT Start by placing your unaffected hand on a table or chair for support with your affected arm hanging straight down in front of your chest. Slowly start moving your hips from side to side and let the momentum from your lower body cause your hanging arm to begin moving in a side to side motion. As symptoms improve, increase the diameter of your swing, but never force it. 3 sets, 10 reps.
