Expert assessment and treatment for frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries, impingement, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Delivered by chartered physiotherapists at a CQC-registered clinic in Surbiton.
Shoulder pain can significantly affect daily life and sport. These are the symptoms our patients commonly present with.
Difficulty raising your arm, reaching behind your back, or performing overhead movements -- a hallmark of frozen shoulder and impingement.
Shoulder pain that wakes you up or prevents comfortable sleeping, particularly when lying on the affected side.
Sharp or catching pain when lifting objects, pushing, or pulling -- often indicating rotator cuff involvement.
Reduced strength in the shoulder, difficulty carrying bags, or inability to perform exercises at the gym.
Aching between the shoulder blades or at the top of the shoulder from prolonged desk work and poor posture.
Shoulder pain with throwing, swimming, tennis, or overhead sports -- often related to impingement or instability.
Shoulder pain is one of the most common conditions we treat. Our physiotherapists identify the root cause to deliver targeted treatment.
Progressive stiffness and pain that develops over weeks or months. Physiotherapy is essential to restore range of motion and speed recovery through each stage of the condition.
Tears, strains, and tendinopathy of the rotator cuff muscles. Common in overhead sports and lifting. Physiotherapy strengthens the shoulder and restores function -- often avoiding surgery.
Pain when raising the arm caused by compression of the rotator cuff tendons. Responds very well to physiotherapy including postural correction, scapular retraining, and graduated strengthening.
Recurrent dislocations or subluxations, common in contact sports. Rehabilitation focuses on strengthening the dynamic stabilisers to restore confidence and prevent recurrence. See our sports injury clinic.
Acromioclavicular joint sprains from falls or direct impact. Graded rehabilitation helps restore pain-free movement and return to sport.
Recovery after rotator cuff repair, shoulder decompression, labral repair, or replacement surgery. Structured physio is critical for optimal outcomes.
Our physiotherapists use evidence-based assessment and treatment to reduce pain, restore movement, and rebuild strength.
Detailed clinical assessment of your shoulder, including range of motion, strength testing, and special tests to identify the cause.
Clear explanation of your shoulder condition with a personalised treatment plan. Onward referral for imaging if clinically needed.
Manual therapy, exercise prescription, scapular retraining, and graduated loading to restore pain-free function and strength.
Sport-specific or work-specific rehabilitation to get you back to full function. Sports massage can support ongoing maintenance.
Recovery varies by condition. Here are typical timelines for common shoulder problems treated with physiotherapy.
4-8 weeks
Most impingement responds well to postural correction and scapular strengthening within 4-8 weeks of physiotherapy.
6-18 months
Frozen shoulder resolves through three stages. Physiotherapy significantly reduces recovery time and improves range of motion at each stage.
4-6 months
Post-surgical rotator cuff rehab follows a structured protocol with graduated loading over 4-6 months for return to full strength.
