Lets kick start this blog-site by talking about Shoulder Injuries.
Shoulder injuries can be very restrictive in your day-to-day life, sport- or job performance.
We will share 4 tips for recovery from shoulder injuries:
1. Get in balance. The shoulder joint needs the
perfect balance of strength and flexibility to keep it in great shape
and injury free. Your physiotherapist can assess your movement and show
you how to strengthen the rotator cuff to keep the shoulder positioned
optimally in the joint to prevent improper mechanics while moving the
arm.
2. Correct poor postural habits. Improving your
movement, strengthening your shoulder muscles, and correcting poor
postural habits can improve your shoulder function and reduce pain.
Learning the right skills for your activity is important for preventing
many shoulder injuries. Your therapist can
help you improve your
movement and posture.
3. Keep it loose. Frozen shoulder is a debilitating
and painful condition, which is a common complication of many shoulder
injuries. Physiotherapy can help with pain relief and a faster recovery,
and we can show you how to keep the shoulder moving through the full
available range of motion to maintain optimal muscle balance around the
shoulder girdle. There are specific exercises to correct imbalances.
4. Get the right advice. Shoulder dislocations,
separations and instabilities require specialized rehabilitation to
protect your injury and have you back to full activity. With
physiotherapy, the need for shoulder surgery can be reduced; if you do
need surgery your physiotherapist will refer you to a physician. We can
help you with pain relief, protection from further injury and a full
rehabilitation plan.
