Understanding Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is the most flexible joint in your body — but that flexibility also makes it vulnerable. Whether it's a frozen shoulder that slowly locks you up, a rotator cuff injury from overuse, or shoulder impingement that causes sharp pain with movement, each condition needs a tailored approach.
At Happy Life Physiotherapy, we assess your shoulder thoroughly — how it moves, what hurts, what's limited — and build a treatment plan that respects your pain while gently restoring function.
Common Shoulder Conditions We Treat
Stiffness and pain that gradually limits movement. We use gentle mobilization to restore motion.
Tears or inflammation of the muscles and tendons that stabilize your shoulder.
Pain when lifting your arm, caused by tendons pinching in the shoulder joint.
A feeling that your shoulder might pop out of place — common after dislocations.

Tips for Shoulder Health
- Avoid carrying heavy bags on one shoulder — distribute weight evenly
