Understanding Your Shoulder Pain
Shoulder problems are one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, affecting people from all walks of life—from office workers and new parents to manual labourers and sportspeople.
Pain and stiffness may appear gradually or come on suddenly after an injury, and it can have a big impact on your ability to work, sleep, and stay active. But often, shoulder pain doesn’t start in isolation. Underlying issues such as general stiffness, poor posture from prolonged sitting or cycling, or biomechanical habits can all influence how the shoulder moves and loads. In some cases, conditions like hypermobility or muscle imbalance can lead to instability or overload, predisposing the shoulder to injury.
At Redrock Physio, we look beyond the shoulder itself. We assess the whole body to understand how the spine, thorax, and lower limbs may be contributing to the problem. Getting to the root of the issue—not just the site of pain—helps us build more effective rehab plans that address the cause, not just the symptoms. This approach helps people get better faster and stay better for longer.
Your shoulder pain is personal—how it affects you, what it's stopping you from doing, and what you'd like to get back to. Recovery is a journey, and choosing the right physiotherapy team is the first step. If you're ready to take that step, we’d be proud to walk alongside you and help you restore strength, confidence, and ease in your movement.
What Physiotherapy Can Do
At Redrock Physio, we understand that no two shoulder issues are the same. Whether you're dealing with subacromial impingement, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tears, instability or brachial plexus-related symptoms, the key is a proper diagnosis and a tailored plan.
We don’t hand you a sheet of generic exercises and send you on your way. Instead, you’ll get a one-to-one approach that blends hands-on therapy, expert guidance, and exercise rehab that adapts as you improve.

Why Choose Redrock Physio
At Redrock, we take a hands-on and movement-focused approach to recovery. As a physiotherapy-led practice with a strong drive for rehabilitation, we use our gym facilities to guide functional exercises that reflect real-life movements. This is supported by personalised home-based rehab and clear video demos to help you stay on track between sessions.
We also offer specialist tools like shockwave therapy and Reformer Pilates to target strength, flexibility, and tissue healing when needed. It’s all part of building long-term resilience—not just easing pain in the short term.
When you're treated within Redrock Physio clinic, you are supported by a whole team—not just one clinician working in isolation. Everyone shares the same philosophy of care, so even if your treatment involves different members of our team, the approach remains consistent, coordinated, and personal. And if your symptoms aren’t changing, we won’t leave you stuck.
We work closely with trusted consultants in imaging and orthopaedics to help get to the root of the problem quickly and thoroughly. Our treatment plans are collaborative, clear, and focused on real results—not a one-size-fits-all handout.
