SHOULDER PAIN

TROUBLE RAISING THE ARM.

Rotator cuff injuries are the most common causes of shoulder pain. Pain is commonly referred to the upper part of the arm when the supra spinatus muscle is strained or torn. It can be difficult to raise your arm above shoulder height when doing things such as hanging out washing or reaching for things high up in cupboards.

Releasing the trigger points in this and other rotator cuff muscles can decrease tension and local inflammation.

GENERAL TIGHTNESS and STRESS

The Trapezius muscles is massive and wraps across the shoulder into the neck. This muscle can cause headaches and pain if it is tight. Stress will usually manifest in tight shoulders, so trigger point therapy is a great way to overcome this.
