What it is

Shoulder pain physiotherapy treats rotator cuff tendinopathy and tears, subacromial impingement, bursitis, instability and post-surgical shoulders. The shoulder trades stability for range, so control of the shoulder blade matters as much as the joint itself.

Treatment settles the irritated tissue first, then loads the cuff progressively so overhead reach returns without pain.

Symptoms we see

Pain on lifting the arm to shoulder height or above
Difficulty reaching behind the back or fastening clothing
Night pain when lying on the affected side
Weakness lifting or carrying with the arm away from the body
Clicking or a painful arc during movement
A sense of the shoulder slipping or being unstable

Common causes

Rotator cuff overload, tendinopathy or partial tear
Subacromial impingement and bursitis
Poor scapular control with rounded posture
Repetitive overhead work, gym pressing or racquet sport
Traumatic dislocation or subluxation
Referred pain from the neck

Our approach

Assessment: Active and passive range, impingement and cuff strength testing, instability tests, scapular rhythm observation and a cervical screen to rule out referred pain.
Treatment: Ultrasound or IFT for pain, manual mobilisation of the glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joints, soft tissue release, then progressive rotator cuff and scapular loading.
Home program: Band-based cuff exercises with clear progression, sleeping position advice, and rules for what overhead activity to continue.

Techniques used

Rotator cuff loading

Graded isometric to resisted work that restores tendon capacity.

Scapular control training

Retrains the shoulder blade so the joint has a stable base.

Joint mobilisation

Restores glide in a stiff or restricted shoulder capsule.

Soft tissue and trigger point release

Relieves the guarded upper trapezius and cuff muscles.

Taping

Short-term offloading of the painful structure so exercise can progress.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the pain worse at night?

Lying compresses the subacromial space and the cuff loses the pumping effect of movement. Position advice plus loading usually settles night pain within two to three weeks.

Can a rotator cuff tear heal without surgery?

Partial and many full-thickness degenerative tears become pain free with structured strengthening. Large traumatic tears in younger patients are referred for surgical opinion.

Should I stop gym pressing?

Temporarily modify rather than stop. We swap to pain-free angles and rebuild pressing as the cuff tolerates load.
