What it is

Understanding shoulder pain treatment

The shoulder trades stability for mobility, which makes it prone to irritation — rotator cuff issues, impingement-type pain, frozen shoulder, and instability are all common and all treatable.

Common symptoms

  • Pain reaching overhead or behind the back
  • Night pain, especially lying on the affected side
  • Weakness lifting or carrying
  • Clicking, catching or a feeling of instability
  • Gradual loss of shoulder range

Common causes

  • Rotator cuff overload or tears
  • Repetitive overhead work or sport
  • Posture and shoulder blade mechanics
  • Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
  • Falls or direct trauma

How we treat it

Our approach at Mvmt Theory

Assessment identifies which structures are involved and, importantly, why they became irritated. Treatment blends hands-on therapy with a progressive strengthening program for the rotator cuff and shoulder blade — the foundation of nearly every successful shoulder recovery.
