Gym injuries Shoulder pain from lifting
Pressing and pulling volume adds up, and the shoulder is often first to complain. I treat gym shoulder pain with hands-on remedial soft tissue therapy in Paddington, Brisbane, working the rotator cuff and the whole complex.
Why the gym loads your shoulder
High pressing volume, overhead work and technique that slips under fatigue all load the rotator cuff and the front of the shoulder over and over.
Rarely just the shoulder
Mid-back mobility, how the shoulder blade moves, and the neck all feed shoulder pain. I treat the whole pattern rather than just the sore joint.
How the treatment works
Assessment
I take your history, watch how you move, and use orthopaedic testing to rule things in or out. Black and white: positive or negative.
Treatment
Hands-on soft tissue work, with real time on the table. I treat the whole area involved, not just the point of pain.
Education
You leave understanding your own body. A few sessions in, you can tell me what is happening and why. That is what keeps it from coming back.
Common questions
Can I keep training around it?
Usually yes, with the right adjustments while we treat the cause. I will tell you what to load and what to back off once I have assessed it.
Is this a sports massage?
No. This is clinical treatment for a specific problem, not a general relaxation rub down.
Settle the shoulder properly
Book an assessment and we treat the cause, not just the sore point.
