Shoulder Physios

Struggling with Shoulder Pain or Injury?

Shoulder issues can limit your ability to train, lift, or even move comfortably day to day. We help active people recover from shoulder injuries with a clear, hands-on approach.

  • Rotator cuff, AC, dislocation, Frozen Shoulder, labrum, bursitis and instability & more.

  • Overhead lifting or sport-specific shoulder pain

  • Post-surgical rehab and return to full function

We’ll get you back to strong, pain-free shoulder movement.

Why Choose Us As Your Shoulder Physio?

Our physios work with active people and athletes who rely on their shoulders for performance. We use evidence-based treatment and tailored strength programs to get results.

  • Sport and performance-focused rehab

  • Progressions from manual therapy to strength and control

You’ll leave each session with clarity and direction.

What to Expect

We start by assessing how your shoulder moves, what’s limiting it, and where strength deficits might lie. From there, we guide you through treatment and recovery.

  • Shoulder-specific strength and control testing

  • Hands-on treatment and rehab plan

  • Tailored exercises that evolve as you improve

We help you move better, lift stronger, and stay injury-free.
