Shoulder Pain treatment FAQs
Can exercise really help improve my shoulder issues?
Indeed it can. Pain reducing medication will only mask the discomfort and not combat the causes of your shoulder issues. With a tailor made exercise program, you will improve your shoulder health at the rate that is appropriate for you. Small improvements are still improvements and will provide you with a sense of achievement, furthering your confidence in the program that we will provide.
What types of exercises are suitable for shoulder pain?
It ultimately depends on the affected tissues in your shoulder, and best treatment outcomes are assisted with an accurate diagnosis from your GP. Nevertheless, any range of motion issues that are present will be a top priority to work on, as strength and endurance improvements without correct range of motion will not provide a great outcome. The shoulder is an incredibly complex joint and requires the right program.
Can exercise worsen my shoulder?
There is always an inherent risk of injury with any exercise, but the risk without corrective exercises is greater. At EP360, our duty is to provide safe and effective programs. We will of course provide you with a thorough understanding of the movements, how to perform them correctly and how frequently. It is likely that you will experience some discomfort during the process, but mild discomfort should not be conflated with injuries occurring.
How soon can I expect to feel the effects of exercise on my shoulder pain?
Timelines vary due to the person and the complexity of your issue. You are likely to experience improvements in just a few weeks. It can be difficult to notice improvements, so retesting range of motion and strength can show you the objective changes over the course of your treatment.
Can exercise help reduce reliance on pain medications?
Yes, in many cases. Regular exercise has been shown to reduce the need for pain medications in some individuals. However, any adjustments to medications should be done under the guidance of your healthcare provider.
