Ever struggled with shoulder pain just from doing everyday things, lifting your arm, reaching for something, or even putting on a jumper? Yeah, that could be shoulder impingement, and it’s more common than you’d think.

In our latest article, we cover:  ✨ What shoulder impingement actually is  🏋️‍♂️ Why physio exercises aren’t just “fancy gym workouts”  💡 How to ease pain and get back to full movement  🧘‍♀️ Small posture hacks that make a big difference

In our latest article , we break down:  • What causes rotator cuff pain  • Why early treatment matters  • What physio and sports therapy involve  • Recovery tips you can use at home

When Shoulder Pain Is More Than Just a Twinge 

It’s easy to ignore a dull ache or tell yourself it’ll ease off on its own. But when your shoulder starts to protest with every lift, reach, or night’s sleep, there’s usually something more going on.  Often, it’s bursitis. A small inflamed cushion in your shoulder joint can make everyday movement feel like a battle. 

At True Physio, our skilled practitioners offer a broad range of specialised treatments, from Sports Massage and Shockwave Therapy to Acupuncture and Chiropody. Your initial consultation involves a thorough assessment to understand your goals and create a personalised strategy to address your specific needs.
