Shoulder Physio Auckland

Shoulder pain can be both uncomfortable and concerning. Fortunately, your trusted shoulder physio in Auckland at Refine Health can help! With our expertise in understanding musculoskeletal issues, we can provide relief through a combination of modalities like strengthening rotator cuff muscles (stabilising the shoulder), massage, acupuncture, or taping to support muscles. The most important part in this process is receiving a correct diagnosis from your physio. Your physio can help to do this by referring you for ultrasound imaging or x-ray, or sending you to an orthopedic shoulder specialist for a second opinion.

This combined approach helps to reduce pain levels while also addressing the underlying cause of the discomfort. Utilising a personalised plan with physiotherapy can lead to success for many individuals looking for relief from shoulder issues.

Shoulder pain can be limiting, but with the right physio treatment, it can be improved. The amount of treatment you need depends on a combination of factors; this could include what therapies we use, as well as if you make any changes to your lifestyle. Generally speaking, it may take up to 6 treatments spread over several weeks to see a change in your shoulder pain. During the sessions, our physios will assess how you are progressing, and the number of treatments may be adjusted according to how quickly you improve.

Shoulder pain is a common complaint among active individuals. Your shoulder physiotherapist in Auckland will help you with knowing which exercises to avoid when dealing with shoulder pain to ensure successful rehabilitation of the injury. In general, when recovering from any shoulder injury, it's best to avoid exercises that require movement overhead or rotational movements, as these put extra pressure on the shoulder joint and increase the risk of exacerbating an existing injury. It’s also essential to pay attention to any other indicators that may indicate further injury or worsening of existing injuries, such as increased swelling or sudden shooting pains.
