Shoulder pain can be uniquely debilitating, impacting nearly every aspect of daily life. From simple tasks like reaching overhead or lifting objects to sleeping comfortably at night, shoulder pain often limits mobility and independence in ways that are frustrating and overwhelming. Many people with shoulder pain worry about whether it will ever improve or if they'll need invasive treatments like surgery to find relief. Unfortunately, these concerns can lead to avoidance of physical activity, which may worsen the problem over time.

​

A common myth surrounding shoulder pain is that it's simply a sign of aging or "wear and tear" that can't be fixed, but this is far from the truth. While shoulder discomfort can result from injuries or chronic conditions like frozen shoulder, impingement, or rotator cuff tears, many cases can improve significantly with the right approach. Another misconception is that rest is the best solution; in reality, targeted movement and tailored guidance are often essential for recovery.

5 Most Common
Shoulder Conditions.

Rotator Cuff Pain

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize your shoulder. Injuries, such as tears or inflammation (tendinopathy), can cause pain, weakness, and difficulty lifting or rotating your arm. These injuries are often the result of repetitive overhead activities or trauma.

Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder occurs when the shoulder joint capsule thickens and tightens, leading to stiffness and significant pain. It usually develops gradually and can last for months or even years if not addressed.

Shoulder Impingement

This happens when the tendons or bursa in the shoulder become compressed during movement, causing pain and irritation. It’s often linked to repetitive overhead motions, poor posture, or muscle imbalances.

Shoulder Instability

Instability occurs when the shoulder joint becomes loose, often due to dislocations, subluxations or repetitive strain. It can lead to pain, weakness, and a sensation that the shoulder might “give out.”

Arthritis

Arthritis can cause joint inflammation, pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. While osteoarthritis develops gradually due to wear and tear, rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that can affect the joint lining. Both can severely impact daily activities.
