Why is the shoulder joint so vulnerable?
The shoulder joint has the largest range of movement of any joint in the human body. This high mobility also makes it the point most vulnerable to injury.
What happens in the rotator cuff?
The group of muscles and tendons that keeps the shoulder girdle stable — the rotator cuff — is under constant strain. When micro-injuries in these tissues do not heal in time, they can lead to hard-to-reverse processes such as “frozen shoulder”.
What is shoulder impingement syndrome?
One cause of shoulder pain and restricted movement can be impingement syndrome — compression of the soft tissues in the shoulder. With a proper assessment and physiotherapy, it is possible to restore shoulder mobility and reduce discomfort.
When should you start physiotherapy?
If the condition does not require surgery, starting physiotherapy without delay is essential for restoring functional mobility and protecting physical health.
Treatment methods: Joint injections, Shockwave therapy.
