What Causes Shoulder Pain?
Shoulder pain can have many different causes. It may result from an acute injury, repetitive movements, poor posture, lifting, gym training or age-related changes. Muscles, tendons, ligaments, bursae and joints can all contribute to shoulder pain.
A thorough assessment helps identify the underlying cause of your symptoms so treatment can be tailored to your individual needs rather than simply treating where it hurts.
How We Can Help
At Elite Performance Therapy, every treatment begins with a thorough assessment to understand what’s causing your shoulder pain.
Treatment may include hands-on therapy, soft tissue techniques, stretching, mobility work, a personalised rehabilitation programme and, where appropriate, medical acupuncture (dry needling). Every treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Our aim isn’t simply to reduce your pain. We want to restore normal shoulder movement, improve strength and help prevent your symptoms from returning.
Keeping Your Shoulders Healthy
Good shoulder function relies on strength, mobility and control. We’ll provide practical advice and simple exercises to help improve your shoulder function, reduce stiffness and lower the risk of future problems.
Understanding why your shoulder became painful is just as important as treating it, which is why rehabilitation forms an important part of every treatment plan.

What our clients say:
“I met with Isy in early January 2021 as I’d been suffering with a long standing shoulder injury for over 18 months and wanted some new ideas and input as to how to improve it as well as hands on treatment. I’ve found Isy’s knowledge and approach to this excellent as well as her great work she introduced me to her colleague Sarah (Chiropractor) which complimented the work Isy had already done. Three months in and lots of attention from Isy and Sarah, the shoulder is considerably better than it was before. Thank you very much.”
