Does this sound like your shoulder?
Your shoulder hurts to reach for something on a high shelf.
Putting on your seatbelt or a jacket hurts.
You wake up at night when you roll onto that side.
Washing or tying your hair is hard.
Your shoulder pinches when you smash in badminton or serve in tennis.
The pain comes back after the gym or a long day at the laptop.
Why your shoulder pain keeps coming back
Your shoulder joint sits on your shoulder blade. When you lift your arm, the shoulder blade should turn to make room. Long hours at a desk and weak upper back muscles can stop it doing that.
Think of a crane. The arm can only lift well when the base under it is steady. When the base wobbles, the arm strains.
Your rotator cuff, the small muscles around the joint, then does extra work and gets pinched and sore. Rest calms it down, but the base is still unsteady.
So your physiotherapist checks your shoulder blade, upper back and neck as well as your shoulder before treatment starts.
What happens in your shoulder physiotherapy treatment session
Each session is 45 to 60 minutes and strictly one-to-one. Your first visit follows these four steps.
Assessment
You tell us where it hurts and what makes it worse, including at night. We watch how your shoulder blade moves as you reach, test your rotator cuff, and check your neck, which can also cause shoulder pain.
Hands-on treatment
Your physiotherapist uses hands-on treatment to ease your pain and loosen the stiff areas, so your arm moves more freely. The method depends on what we find.
Exercise therapy
You start exercises in the same session, often with light weights, to strengthen your rotator cuff and the muscles around your shoulder blade. We watch your form and correct it.
Your plan
Before you leave, you get exercises for home and a plan built around the reach or lift you want back.

Shoulder problems we treat
We treat a range of shoulder conditions, whether it’s an acute injury, long-term pain or recovery after surgery.
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
The lining of the joint tightens, so your shoulder gets stiff and painful over months. We bring back your movement step by step.
Rotator cuff injury
The rotator cuff is the group of small muscles that keep your shoulder joint in place. We settle the pain, then rebuild their strength.
Shoulder impingement
A tendon gets pinched under the bony tip of your shoulder when you lift your arm. We free up the movement and strengthen the muscles around it.
Shoulder bursitis
A small fluid-filled sac on top of the shoulder swells and gets sore, often from overhead work. We calm it down and change the movements that irritate it.
Arm pain from the neck (cervical radiculopathy)
Pain, tingling or numbness down your arm that starts from a nerve in your neck. We find the nerve and treat what is pressing on it.
Shoulder dislocation and instability
Your shoulder has slipped out of place, or it feels loose. Once a doctor has checked it, we strengthen the muscles that hold it steady.
Shoulder rehab after surgery
Getting your movement and strength back after surgery, such as a rotator cuff repair. We follow the limits your surgeon has set.
Not sure which one you have?
That’s what the assessment is for. Your physiotherapist will tell you what they find.

Common questions about shoulder physiotherapy
How many shoulder physiotherapy sessions will I need?
It depends on what is causing your shoulder pain and how long you’ve had it. A shoulder that has been stiff for months usually needs more time than a recent strain. After your assessment, your physiotherapist will suggest a plan.
Can frozen shoulder be treated without an injection?
Physiotherapy is one option, and you can start it without seeing a doctor first. After your assessment, your physiotherapist will tell you whether physiotherapy alone suits your shoulder, or whether you should also see a doctor about other options, such as an injection.
Do I need a doctor's referral or a scan first?
No. You can book with us directly, and your physiotherapist will assess your shoulder on your first visit. Bring any X-ray or MRI reports you already have. If your physiotherapist thinks a scan would help, they will tell you to see a doctor, who can arrange one.
Can I claim physiotherapy on insurance?
It depends on your insurer. With Great Eastern, we help with a direct claim, subject to eligibility. With other insurers, you pay first and we give you a physiotherapy report and receipt so you can claim. We don’t accept Guarantee Letters.
Can I keep going to the gym while I see a shoulder physio?
It depends on what is causing your shoulder pain. After your assessment, your physiotherapist will tell you which exercises and sports to keep doing, which to change and which to rest for now.
Does shoulder treatment hurt?
Mostly, no. Hands-on treatment is there to ease your pain. A stiff shoulder can feel uncomfortable as we work on its movement, but your physiotherapist keeps it at a level you can manage and checks with you as they go.
What should I wear and bring?
Wear loose clothes you can move in, such as a T-shirt and shorts. Bring any X-ray, MRI or ultrasound reports you have. If you don’t have any, that’s fine.
What language does your team speak?
Our team speaks English, Malay and Mandarin, and some of us also speak Hokkien, Hakka and Cantonese. If you’d prefer a language other than English, mention it in your WhatsApp message when you book.
