Sub-Conditions

Rotator Cuff Injuries

What It Is
The Rotator cuff is a group of muscles that help to rotate the shoulder and provide stability to the shoulder joint. These muscles can become injured with overuse injuries at work, during sports or exercise, doing home renovations, or with a slip and fall. The rotator cuff can be an especially frustrating injury because it can take a long time to heal.

How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapy can help by first improving mobility in your shoulder with soft tissue release and joint mobilizations. We then will guide you through corrective exercises to maintain movement and build strength in your shoulder.

Shoulder Impingement

What It Is
Shoulder impingements are caused when one or more of the tendons in the shoulder become pinched in the joint. The shoulder is a very complex joint with many moving parts and if all of those parts aren’t moving together, pinching can happen.

How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapy can help by improving your mobility with soft tissue release and joint mobilizations, use ultrasound to reduce inflammation and improve tendon healing, and guide you through corrective exercises to maintain movement and rebuild strength.

ACJ sprains

What It Is
The AC joint is the connection of the shoulder blade to the collar bone. This joint is often sprained by falling on the shoulder in sports or workplace injuries.

How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapists use ultrasound to reduce inflammation and increase tissue healing. We utilize soft tissue release techniques to increase your range of motion and mobilize the joint once appropriate healing has occurred. We will also provide home exercises to increase your strength and range of motion.
