Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal problem that can affect lifting, reaching, sleep, and everyday activities. At The Physio Group, we provide expert physiotherapy assessment and treatment for shoulder pain across our Belfast, Newry, and Newcastle clinics.

Symptoms may develop following sport, gym training, repetitive work activities, or gradually due to posture and muscle imbalance. Patients often experience pain when lifting the arm, weakness, stiffness, or discomfort when lying on the affected side.

Our physiotherapists carry out a detailed assessment to identify the underlying cause, which may involve tendon irritation, joint stiffness, muscle weakness, or movement dysfunction. Treatment may include hands-on manual therapy, mobility work, strengthening exercises, and rehabilitation tailored to individual goals.

Following our Reduce, Restore, Return approach, we aim to reduce pain, restore normal shoulder movement and strength, and help you return confidently to work, sport, and daily life while preventing recurrence.
