Shoulder pain is a common problem that can affect everyday activities like lifting, reaching, driving, or even sleeping comfortably. It can develop for many reasons, including:

  • Poor posture – slouching at a desk or working at a computer for long periods

  • Repetitive strain – from work, hobbies, or sports

  • Sports injuries – such as sprains, strains, or overuse

  • Frozen shoulder or rotator cuff problems – which restrict movement and cause ongoing pain

  • Arthritis or age-related wear and tear - Osteopathy uses gentle manual techniques to release tension, improve mobility, and encourage healing in the shoulder and surrounding muscles.

Shoulder pain can sometimes be felt not only in the joint but also in the neck, upper back, or down the arm, and it may limit how freely you can move.

If shoulder pain is affecting your daily life, book an appointment today to see how osteopathy can support your recovery and restore movement.
