NEWSLETTER Your Resource for Health, Wellness & Caring For Your Body
A Deep Dive Into Your Shoulder The first step in resolving your rotator cuff injury is a comprehensive evaluation from one of our physiotherapists. We’ll start by discussing your medical history, including gathering details about your shoulder pain, any previous injuries, and your overall health. We’re especially interested in when your pain started, what the sensations feel like, and what mobility challenges you have. Next, we’ll perform a thorough physical examination, focusing on the affected shoulder. This includes assessing your range of motion, strength, and any signs of inflammation or instability. We also want to understand how your injury impacts your daily life, so we’ll take a look at your ability to perform essential tasks like reaching or lifting. A Personalized Care Plan All this information helps us determine the specific injury you’ve suffered so we can work with you to establish your particular rehabilitation goals. We’ll pull from various physiotherapy techniques to create a program tailored to your unique needs, including: • Manual Therapy: We often use manual therapy techniques, including joint mobilizations and soft tissue mobilizations, to alleviate pain and improve shoulder mobility.
