Shoulder Pain
SHOULDER PAIN
Here at Active Health Solutions, we know that shoulder pain affects all your daily activities. From driving, to doing the dishes, to walking the dog, to reading the paper! Shoulder pain is debilitating, and we understand how frustrating it is to live with constant, daily discomfort.
THAT’S WHY TREATING SHOULDER PAIN IS VERY CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS, AND OF THE COUNTLESS PATIENTS THAT COME TO SEE US FOR HELP, MOST SHARE THE SAME CONCERN: WHY DID IT HAPPEN TO THEM, AND WHY HASN’T IT DISAPPEARED YET.

These are both really good questions – in fact, when it comes to shoulder pain, understanding why you have it is often the most difficult thing of all. Joints, ligaments, rotator cuff damage, or even dislocation could be the cause, and it’s important to find out which. Happily, though, the answer as to why your pain has lasted so long is a little bit simpler…
Many of our patients waited for months before coming in to see us, that is, before taking any action. They all share one common denominator: they believed that their shoulder pain would disappear on its own.
It didn’t, and in effect it just got so much worse. The problem is, while they were waiting for the pain to disappear – resting and avoiding movement – the muscles grew ever-tighter, and the joint started to lose even more strength and mobility. Resting for long durations of time was the first mistake.
Another common factor in the persistence of pain is the conflicting information that can be found around us. For many of our patients, YouTube, Google, and even advice from loved ones led them down garden paths, ultimately leading them to increase the pain and, most likely, damage the inflamed, sore area further. The problem here is that many patients then give up hope, resign themselves to the pain, and in the process they prolong their recovery time extensively.
IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING YOU’VE GONE THROUGH, DON’T WORRY. THERE IS HOPE. KEEP READING.
A visit to their GP’s results in the prescription of painkillers which, consequently, does nothing to target the root cause of the problem and everything to mask the issue and increase the pain exponentially. Eventually, many of our patients find themselves in a terrible cycle of painkillers, rest, and increased dosages. Their health is affected and they are even more depressed than before they took the medication.
Again, if this sounds like you, don’t worry. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. At Active Health, we realise that dealing with a problem like shoulder pain can often be overwhelming – we’re here to help.
TAKE A LOOK AT SOME MORE REASONS WHY YOUR PAIN MIGHT BE LASTING LONGER THAN IT OUGHT TO:
- You’ve waited for the pain to disappear, yet to no avail. It’s still there and you’re still battling daily.
- You’ve taken painkillers in the hope that you might be able to deal with the pain until it’s gone – they’ve only made the issue worse, though, and now your health is suffering.
- You’ve considered surgery as an end to your ordeal, yet you’re afraid of the possible complications.
- You’ve tried massages only to find that nothing really seems to change.
- You’ve tried hot and/or cold packs, the effects of which don’t last long and definitely don’t treat the root cause of the problem.
- You’ve listened to advice from family, friends, YouTube, and Google, yet nothing has worked and you’ve started to give up hope that anything will.
- You’ve begun to believe it’s an age-related issue, one that everyone struggles with. You’ve started to accept your pain.
- You’ve never really asked yourself what the real issue is, therefore you’ve never taken effective action to deal with it

Reasons Your Pain Might Be Lasting Longer Than It Should Be
1. You’ve rested the painful area for a prolonged duration of time, therefore increasing stiffness and immobility.
2. You’ve been taking painkillers that have only masked the pain and have done nothing to fix the root cause of the problem.
3. You’ve been trying stretches and exercises on Google or YouTube, only to find that things have gotten worse.
4. You’ve tried training despite your injury, trying too hard, too quickly, and injuring yourself more in the process.
5. You tried massages, but nothing has changed and you’re worse off than before.
6. You’ve tried hot and/or cold packs, but their effects don’t last long.
7. You’ve accepted your pain and have tried to work around it.

At this point, it is clear that something has to change. Waiting, taking painkillers, and trying ineffective methods just isn’t helping – and it isn’t making you any happier.
HOW CAN YOU GET RID OF THE PAIN, GET BACK YOUR FAMILY TIME, AND GET BACK TO DOING THE ACTIVITIES YOU LOVE? WELL, WE HAVE A FEW ANSWERS FOR YOU:
Put An End To The Procrastination. We really encourage you to take action: by making a conscious effort to get the help you need you will genuinely start with the best foot forward on your journey to recovery. Waiting and being immobile has only worsened your issue, and it’s time to make a change that truly produces the results you want.
Be Aware Of Your Posture. When it comes to shoulder pain, much of your suffering could be aggravated by the way in which you stoop, sleep, or even walk. Make sure that you’re always doing activities in a way that supports your shoulder. If you’re unsure about what that may mean, speak to a physiotherapist for guidance.
Furthermore, make sure you’re not carrying heavy weights – lifting anything especially heavy will aggravate your shoulder pain, even if you’re lifting it with the opposite arm! Remember, when you lift heavy things, your muscles strain, and that can often to lead to pain and inflammation in the painful area.
Visit A Qualified, Hands-On Physiotherapist. Physiotherapy is by far the most effective, fastest, and safest way of permanently relieving the pain in your shoulder. Unlike painkillers, physiotherapy isn’t a temporary bandage to your problem; physiotherapy treats the root cause of your issue, thus providing you with a permanent solution. Not only that, physiotherapy also gives you the tools to maintain a pain free life – tailor-made, personalised exercises and stretches give you the best possible chance to remain pain-free, do the activities you love, and maintain the life you deserve.

Do extra exercises. Contrary to what you may have heard, resting your shoulder actually aggravates the pain over a long period of time. In order to heal and to recover mobility, you need to strengthen the muscles and ligaments in that area. Being active and mobile is the best way to jump-start your recovery. So, in addition to the exercise routine you’ll receive from your physiotherapist, why not try doing some other gentle, low impact exercises? Walking, and Pilates are just a few examples of what’s available to you. Keep moving and you’ll begin seeing tremendous results!
