Common Conditions

​

The Shoulder is compromised of the Humerus, the Scapula and Clavicle and can present with many injuries that may occur from trauma or from overuse and can contribute to imbalances in the shoulder complex that consists of 20 muscles all acting on it. Poor movement patterns, reduced muscular strength/endurance, poor stability or a lack of mobility can all contribute. To be able to ascertain accurately the most suitable way forward we use conventional methods and digital technology in our assessment to determine not just your diagnosis but other contributing factors. There are many Shoulder injuries we see in Edinburgh Physiotherapy and here are just some of the most common conditions listed below that we see.

I saw Stuart for my Shoulder which was a rotator cuff tendon injury. I was deeply impressed at how quickly he identified the problems with my shoulder blade and the lack of mobility causing my pain. After a short period of rehabilitation and treatment, i regained normal movement and was pain-free.
