PhYSIO for Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can sneak into everyday life, whether you’re reaching into a cupboard, typing at your desk, or lifting weights at the gym. At Pro-Form Physiotherapy in Sydney, our team provides expert physio for shoulder pain, helping you move freely again and get back to the activities you love.

Whether the pain started suddenly or gradually built up over time, addressing the root cause early is key to avoiding chronic issues, compensatory injuries, and disrupted movement patterns.

  • The shoulder joint is incredibly mobile, which makes it more prone to injury. It relies on a delicate balance of strength, mobility, and stability across several joints and muscles. When that balance is thrown off, even slightly, pain and dysfunction can follow.

    Some common causes of shoulder pain include:

    • Rotator cuff injuries (strains, tears, tendinopathy)

    • Bursitis or impingement

    • Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)

    • Poor posture and muscular imbalances

    • Labral injuries or instability

    • Referred pain from the neck or upper back

    Whether you’ve had an acute injury, woke up with pain, or have been battling discomfort for weeks, a physiotherapist can help pinpoint the cause and start you on a targeted recovery path.

  • You should consider seeing a physiotherapist if you're experiencing:

    • Difficulty lifting your arm overhead or reaching behind your back

    • Pain while sleeping on your side

    • Clicking, grinding, or instability in the joint

    • Pain that limits exercise or sport performance

    • Shoulder weakness or fatigue with repetitive tasks

    These symptoms could indicate a deeper biomechanical issue that’s worth addressing early to prevent longer-term problems.

    The sooner you start treatment, the faster you can regain movement, strength, and comfort in your shoulder. Let our expert physios in Sydney help you build a strong, stable shoulder that moves the way it’s meant to.

  • At Pro-Form Physiotherapy, our physio for shoulder pain services begin with a thorough assessment of your shoulder mechanics, strength, and movement. We don’t just treat the shoulder in isolation, we look at how the whole body supports or contributes to the issue.

    Your treatment plan may include:

    • Manual therapy to release tight tissues or mobilise stiff joints

    • Targeted strengthening of the rotator cuff and the neighbouring joints

    • Postural and ergonomic corrections

    • Dry needling or taping techniques

    • Load management advice, particularly for gym-goers or active individuals

    Our goal is not just to reduce pain but to rebuild strength, mobility, and confidence in your shoulder function.
