PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR THE SHOULDER

A common complaint here is the so-called impingement syndrome (now referred to as subacromial pain syndrome). A rotator cuff that is too weak often plays a role here. This problem can be counteracted by suitable physiotherapy and regular training. Frozen shoulder, on the other hand, usually occurs without a known trigger. Accordingly, the therapy here is to be individually designed and must be precisely adapted to the current symptoms. Common shoulder injuries include subcapital humerus fracture (fracture below the humeral head) and shoulder dislocations, which in more severe cases may also involve injury to the labrum and long biceps tendon (SLAP les ion). Injuries to the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint (rotator cuff tears) and the ligamentous part of the acromioclavicular joint (the small joint between the collarbone and the acromion) also occur.

  • Our goal will be that you are initially as pain-free as possible and then can fully restore the mobility and strength of your shoulder with targeted training.
