Relief for Shoulder & Arm Pain
A personalised, whole-body approach to ease pain and restore comfortable, confident shoulder and arm movement. We focus on helping your entire body support upper limb function, not just treating a sore joint in isolation.
What's it for?
This service is for adults dealing with shoulder and arm issues like rotator cuff irritation, frozen shoulder, bursitis, or pain that lingers post-injury or post-surgery. It also supports those navigating pain or weakness that extends down the arm or into the hand, whether due to nerve involvement, joint stress, or movement compensation patterns.
If you're struggling after a shoulder operation, frustrated by recurring flare-ups, or limited by overhead work, lifting, or reaching, this care is designed to get you moving more freely and confidently. It's also suited for people who’ve had short-lived relief from other treatments and are ready for something more holistic.
What You Might Notice
You might find it hard to reach overhead, put on a jacket, or lie on your sore side without discomfort. Everyday tasks like carrying groceries or using a keyboard can feel harder than they should.
Some people notice stiffness building over time, or a sharp catch in certain movements. Others feel like the pain is starting to affect their sleep, posture, and confidence — especially if they’ve tried standard exercises or been told to “just wait it out.”
If you've had moments of thinking, “why is this still happening?” or “I’m scared I’ll make it worse,” you're not alone. This service is built around helping you feel safer in your body and find lasting strategies that actually make sense.
How I Work
You won’t get a one-size-fits-all program. I’ll assess what’s really driving the issue, whether it’s the shoulder itself, or a ripple effect from your spine, ribcage, pelvis or posture. Treatment may include hands-on physiotherapy, motor control retraining, or whole-body alignment therapy to help your system work together again.

The Goal
To help you understand what’s going on, ease unnecessary tension or fear, and give you a practical, effective path forward, one that supports shoulder comfort in the short term and real movement freedom over time.
Who It’s For
This service is especially suited to people who:
- Want to move past short-term fixes and get to the root cause
- Prefer a clear, step-by-step plan
- Are open to learning about how their whole body might be involved
- Are ready to participate in their recovery
It’s not ideal for those looking for a quick one-off session or guaranteed outcomes in a set timeframe.
Common Questions
“Do I need surgery?”
Not always. Many shoulder conditions, even those that sound serious, can be improved without surgery. We’ll talk through the best course of action for your situation.
“I’ve tried exercises before — what’s different?”
Most programs don’t consider the role your whole body plays in how your shoulder functions. We look beyond the joint to your ribcage, spine, hips and posture and build a plan around those insights.
“I’m worried about making it worse.”
That’s a common concern. We start gently, within safe ranges, and adjust based on how your body responds.
