Neck and Shoulder Pain
Shoulder Pain Treatment at Compass Physio & Trim Physio
Expert Chartered Physiotherapy in Enfield, Kilcock & Trim
Shoulder pain is one of the most common conditions we see in clinic. Whether your pain has come on suddenly after an injury, built up gradually over time, or is linked to sports, work, or daily activities, our team of Chartered Physiotherapists are here to help.
The shoulder is a highly mobile joint that relies on a delicate balance of muscles, tendons, and ligaments to function properly. When something goes wrong, even simple movements like reaching overhead, dressing, or sleeping can become painful and frustrating.
At Compass Physio and Trim Physio, we don’t just treat the pain—we identify and address the root cause, giving you long-term results and confidence in your shoulder again.
Common Shoulder Conditions We Treat
Our physiotherapists are highly experienced in diagnosing and treating a wide range of shoulder issues, including:
- Rotator cuff injuries (tears, tendinopathy, weakness)
- Shoulder impingement syndrome
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Bursitis and tendonitis
- Bursitis and tendonShoulder instability or dislocationitis
- Post-surgical shoulder rehabilitation
- Sports-related shoulder injuries
How Physiotherapy Can Help Shoulder Pain
Our approach combines hands-on treatment, movement strategies, and progressive rehabilitation to get you back doing the things you love. Treatment may include:
- Soft tissue therapy and joint mobilisation
- Dry needling and trigger point release
- Tailored exercise programmes to restore strength and mobility
- Postural and movement retraining
- Education and strategies for daily activities to reduce irritation
- Access to our exercise app with videos and progress tracking
Our goal is not just short-term relief but long-lasting recovery—helping you return to sport, work, or daily life with confidence.
