What Is Shoulder Physio?

The shoulder is one of the most complex joints in the body. Designed for mobility and heavily reliant on the structures around the joint to perform at 100%, it is often injured.

Our experienced physios are skilled in treating this area of the body. We’ve successfully treated thousands of clients over decades for shoulder injuries such as shoulder bursitis, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injury and shoulder impingement as well as post surgical rehabilitation.

We cover the intricacies of the shoulder set-up in our blog, ‘What Causes Shoulder Pain?’.
