Shoulder pain can have various causes, and with it´s function limited, compromise many daily activities. Starts with modest aches and pains caused by a strained muscle. After that, can go to severe bone-on-bone friction caused by arthritis, until an acute pain due to injury or trauma.

Here are some common reasons for shoulder pain:
Rotator Cuff Injuries: The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint. Injuries or tears to the rotator cuff can cause pain and limited range of motion.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): This condition involves stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, and it often develops gradually. Range of motion becomes limited, and daily activities may become challenging.
Tendonitis or Bursitis: Inflammation of the tendons (tendonitis) or the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joints (bursitis) can cause shoulder pain.
Shoulder Impingement: This occurs when the shoulder’s rotator cuff tendons are pinched between the bones of the shoulder. It can result in pain and restricted movement.
Arthritis: Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can affect the shoulder joint, causing pain and stiffness.
Nerve Compression: Compression of nerves in the neck or upper back can lead to shoulder pain.
Referred Pain: Sometimes, pain from other areas, such as the neck or upper back, can be felt in the shoulder.
Shoulder Dislocation: The shoulder joint can become dislocated due to injury, causing severe pain.
Remember, the specific approach to physiotherapy will depend on the nature and cause of your shoulder pain. It’s essential to work closely with a qualified physiotherapist and follow their guidance. If you’re experiencing shoulder pain, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
