Understanding Shoulder Pain Mitcham & Aspendale Gardens, Victoria
Shoulder pain can significantly impact your daily activities and overall well-being. It often arises from various factors, including overuse injuries, acute injuries, or degenerative conditions.
If you suspect an overuse injury, addressing it promptly is important to prevent worsening conditions and higher medical costs.
Our experienced physiotherapists focus on treating shoulder pain through a non-invasive and evidence-based approach, ensuring effective recovery and long-term results.

Common Shoulder Injuries
The shoulder is a highly mobile joint, making it prone to common injuries such as:
- Rotator Cuff Injuries: Tears, tendinopathy, and impingement caused by overuse or trauma.
- Frozen Shoulder: A condition that limits shoulder movements and causes pain and stiffness.
- Shoulder Instability: Joint instability resulting from dislocations or weak supporting muscles.
- Shoulder Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa causing pain during movement.
- Overuse Injuries: Resulting from repetitive activities, particularly arms overhead movements.
- Acute Injuries: Trauma such as muscle strains or joint capsule damage.
Identifying the cause of your shoulder injury is essential for effective recovery. At Full Speed Performance, we provide targeted assessments and personalised treatment to restore strength, mobility, and function.
