Understanding my Shoulder Pain

Why does my shoulder hurt?

Did you have an incident, or did your shoulder just get sore over time?

We treat traumatic shoulders and those that just get sore over time a bit differently.

Different issues also vary depending on age: from rotator cuff strains, tears, arthritis, dislocations, SLAP lesions and frozen shoulder.

What can we do about it?

Is your shoulder stiff, painful or hypermobile? There’s a different approach to each.

Jenkins Physiotherapy uses hands on manual therapy, exercises, dry needling, advice and ongoing recommendations to help your body recover. We can also recommend the right supportive bracing when it’s needed.

We find ways to strengthen affected joints and muscles, and progressively restore active range of movements.

We also want to find exercise that you can do that is healthy and gets you back to normal.

You should know that tendons can take weeks and sometimes months to heal.

Flare ups can happen, but we manage that and get going again.

How can I get started?

Simply reach out to our friendly admin team, or go to our booking page and schedule an appointment at Jenkins Physiotherapy, Madeley in the Perth northern suburbs.

Remember your health fund card, or any referral documents from your GP or specialist to present to admin on arrival.

Wear something comfortable, so that we can assess the area that is of main concern.
