A painful, stiff shoulder that gets steadily harder to move. I'll help manage the pain and keep as much movement as possible, as early as possible.
Deep shoulder pain, often worse at night
Struggling to reach behind your back or above your head
Difficulty getting dressed or reaching for a seatbelt
Stiffness that has slowly got worse over weeks or months
Frozen shoulder happens when the tissue around the shoulder joint thickens and tightens. It's most common between the ages of 40 and 60 and also in women. Although the cause is relatively unknown it can be induced by a previous shoulder injury and its also more likely if you have diabetes.
It usually moves through painful, stiff and recovery phases and can take many months to settle. The right treatment at the right stage can ease the pain and help you keep moving.

Do I need a referral from my GP?
No. You can book directly. If I think you need a scan or a GP's opinion, I'll tell you.
Will my health insurance cover it?
Most major insurers don't cover sports therapy, but some smaller providers that cover alternative therapies will refund your fees. Check with your insurer.
What should I wear?
No specific clothing is required
A rough description is plenty. I'll get back to you as soon as I'm out of clinic.
