Shoulder pain questions.
Straight answers to what people ask us most.
I've tried physiotherapy before, but it keeps coming back. Why is my shoulder sore again?
This is a common question that comes up during our Initial Consultation for shoulder pain. Your shoulder was more than likely relieved of symptoms, but you weren't given the tools to keep strengthening in the long term. We have a whole host of different measures and tests we can use to make sure your shoulder stays strong and pain-free in the long term.
Do I need to operate on my Rotator Cuff Tear?
Seeing a muscle tear written on your MRI report can be scary initially, however, the outcomes are often not as scary as you think. Your first and best option should be to rehabilitate that Rotator Cuff Tear to be stronger than ever before. Often times, getting an operation can be detrimental for the long-term health of your shoulder.
My doctor told me to rest my shoulder, but it's still sore. Why is that?
Often this is the wrong advice for your shoulder injury. Yes, you may need to stop doing the activities that are aggravating the issue, however, you still need to strengthen the area involved. If we don't, the tissues get weaker and become even more painful.
