Depending on how the shoulder is damaged, our treatment often involves a combination of the following modalities:

  • Osteopathy by working with the soft tissues such as muscles, tendons and ligaments, and improving joint mobility with gentle mobilisations, osteopathy is an effective hands-on treatment.
  • Acupuncture a gentle yet effective way to calm down your pain. Whilst the thought of having needles inserted is often scary, acupuncture isn’t as horrific as it sounds! Using super fine needles, you barely feel them.
  • Kinesiotaping can help with a multitude of things including reducing swelling and bruising along with offering gentle, non-restrictive support to the area.
  • Shockwave Therapy is excellent for injuries that are slow to heal and are an ongoing problem. Using radial pressure waves, the treatment helps to stimulate a healing response and accelerate your recovery.
