Rotator cuff tears, bursitis, labral tears, frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, impingement, shoulder separation and dislocation or subluxation all cause damage to the shoulder's soft tissues.

The highly trained physiotherapists and Physioplus Health are trained to look at the whole body to assess the contributing factors of your pain. Muscle weakness, poor flexibility, poor posture, repetitive motions, neck and mid back stiffness, medical history, family history, systemic diseases, and much more can contribute to shoulder pain and loss of function.
