Patient Success Story – treating Shoulder Pain with Physiotherapy

Are you struggling with shoulder pain? Do you want to be able to live a long active and healthy life like Claire, a 43 year old from Denmead?

This is Claire, she attended Physio-logical as she had severe pain and stiffness in her right shoulder. Her goal was to be pain-free and get back to her high level gym workouts.

On assessment her pain was 10/10, her movement was restricted – 25’ shoulder flexion, 40’ abduction, lateral rotation 20’. Claire was diagnosed with acute sub acromial bursitis right shoulder.

Claire was given some bespoke exercises which worked really well alongside education and hands on treatments. By session 2 Claire had regained 95% range of movement and her pain eased. Claire continued with weekly treatment, she is now back to doing everything she wants to do in the gym, she will now slowly increase the weights gradually over time.

Claire said:

Natalie has provided excellent treatment, helping me with recovery from shoulder bursitis which at the time of the first appointment was very painful and my range of motion was extremely limited. Natalie takes time to listen and asks me about my goals, the treatment is not just about getting pain free but about being able to return fully to exercise.  I like how the follow up exercises are given to me as videos online so I can easily refer to them after the appointment, and I was also given some stretches to build into my gym sessions to help prevent a reoccurrence. I am very pleased to now be back in the gym, pain free, and rebuilding my strength.
