Shoulder Pain
Feeling the pinch?
Are you struggling with persistent shoulder pain just under your collarbone that just won’t go away? When it comes to living with shoulder pain, everybody we see wants to know:
Why is this happening to me?
Why am I still suffering with shoulder pain after putting up with it for 6 months - sometimes more?
People think that when they get persistent shoulder pain, the pain is going to go away on its own. That they’ll wake up one morning and like "magic", it’ll be as if it never happened. But months later you’re still living with nagging pain even worse than it was when it came on.
Do you find that you’re
- Struggling to raise your arm overhead?
- Losing strength in your shoulder when it comes to sports or movements you need for work?
- Regularly icing or using heat on your shoulder after activity?
Has that ever happened to you?
What have you tried already?
- Just resting and staying away from activity... only to find it’s got worse!
- Staying on painkillers for much longer than you want to
- Waited for ages for your NHS appointment
- Resigned yourself to it as you’re "not getting any younger"
- Looked online but were confused by the amount of information on the web
You’re not alone!
Many people are suffering from nagging shoulder pain that just doesn’t seem to go away and are confused as to why, especially since they can’t track down the beginning to just one incident. It just seemed to come on one day and didn’t get any better.
Here are a few things that may help
- Working towards a better posture
- A good routine of light stretches for the chest and upper back
- Specific exercise to improve shoulder position and stability
- A well structured, progressive approach to treatment
