What causes shoulder pain?

Several factors and conditions can contribute to shoulder pain. The most common cause is rotator cuff tendinitis (swollen tendons) and impingement syndrome, where the rotator cuff gets caught between the acromion and humeral head.

Shoulder pain can also result from injury to another part of the body, such as the neck or arm is known as referred pain. Referred pain doesn’t get any worse when you move your shoulder.

Other causes of shoulder pain include arthritis, torn cartilage, torn rotator cuff, bone spurs, pinched nerve, broken shoulder or arm, frozen or dislocated shoulder or injury due to overuse or repetition.

I have been visiting Elliot for a couple of months and he has been doing an amazing job. I had a few major pains in my shoulder and back and he managed to help me to cope with them. I still visit him now and even though I am pregnant, he has adapted many of my exercises to suit my situation. He helps me a lot with low back and pelvic pains during pregnancy and keep me motivated to exercise. Thank you for your service - it is greatly appreciated.

A couple of months ago I had spine surgery for an L5,S1 herniation as I had searing sciatic pain which rendered me immobile. Judit the physiotherapist at Response Physiotherapy Brighton was incredible. Judit was highly attentive and sensitive to my healing needs. She used massage, accompanied me to the gym sometimes to show me a program to follow which was continually updated. This got my body to as good of a state as it could have been pre-surgery, and post-surgery sped up my recovery process. I have recovered so well that tomorrow I recommence my job as a Yoga Teacher. The speed of recovery has been completely surprising and welcome. Presently I have no pain, no numbness, and daily I continue to increase my strength and mobility. Judit is I N C R E D I B L E. Thank you.

I am nearing the end of my physio treatment for tennis elbow. I was really surprised at my whole experience as it was totally different from previous physio I have had in the past. I was expecting to do exercises with bands and that was about it. I got was an in-depth analysis at the first session on the root cause of my pain and the treatment was based around doing daily strengthening exercises for my grip, wrists and shoulders, plus a whole load of self-massage techniques around the affected and surrounding areas. I am now pain-free and so happy! I can't thank Josh enough for being so patient and supportive through my injury. He really is a fantastic physio!

For 5 years, I had a lower back problem which would frequently stiffen up leaving me incapacitated for a week at a time, and left me with an ongoing soreness that would be there most mornings; I'd stopped running and playing sport and it was getting me down. After the third flare-up in as many months, I finally used my insurance and booked with Phil after a recommendation from a friend. Phil very quickly diagnosed my problem and explained very simply and professionally what was wrong and what I needed to do; both in terms of muscle work but also my posture and how to manage my desk job for the good of my health. He taught me how to build up core strength without stressing my back and how to strengthen muscles in my back I never even knew I had. It's fair to say Phil has changed my life and I am exercising like I'm 22 again; not 42!
