About shoulder and arm pain

Shoulder and arm conditions are characterised by movement restriction in the shoulder, elbow or wrist. This is usually accompanied by a sharp or dull ache, burning pain or pain in your arms or forearms.

Arm pain can be due to overuse (repetitive strain) or traumatic injury. Arm pain can also be a sign that another part of your muscular skeletal system is misaligned – such as your neck.

Shoulder and arm pain is usually treated with a soft tissue massage around the surrounding muscles to decrease tension/ restriction. The joint is then mobilised and scar tissue is broken down (if appropriate). You will be prescribed specific stretches, tailored to your circumstances and ability.
