Physio exercises can overcome shoulder pain
Shoulder pain can be a debilitating condition that affects many individuals, limiting their ability to perform daily activities and compromising their quality of life. Fortunately, physiotherapy has been shown to be an effective treatment option for shoulder pain. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of physiotherapy for shoulder pain and provide two research articles that support this claim.
Physiotherapy for shoulder pain typically involves a combination of exercises, manual therapy, and education to help individuals manage their symptoms and improve their shoulder function. A study published in the Journal of Physiotherapy found that a combination of exercise therapy and manual therapy was effective in improving shoulder pain and function in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy. Additionally, a systematic review published in the Journal of Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy found that exercise therapy was effective in reducing pain and improving shoulder function in individuals with shoulder impingement syndrome.
