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.

STEP

We’ll Figure Out The Puzzle

We will sit you down and listen to your story so that we can identify how your pain began and how it is affecting your daily life.

STEP

Implement Simple Movement Habits

Using our unique approach we will make sense of your movement habits and find the true cause of your pain. In front of you we will both then draw out a clear roadmap to show you exactly what you need to do to get back to the activities you’re currently restricted from AND how long it will take.

STEP

Your Bespoke Movement Plan

Throughout your movement plan we will ease your pain quickly and work through ticking off each goal in every session. We will guide you with your bespoke plan and coach you through simple exercises so that you can easily implement into your busy lifestyle.

STEP

Progress In Every Session

You will see progress in every session with brand new exercises sent straight to your phone whilst having close support from us in-between sessions whenever you need to get in touch or have a question.

STEP

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Patrick did a super job diagnosing my injury correctly. Not only did his work help cure it but he set me on a pathway for general strengthening exercises. He showed me some useful and doable exercises and I'm feeling so much better than I did a few months ago. Often it takes just the right person with the right attitude to help you get started. Many thanks.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hi Patrick, I had reason to visit Compass Physio a few months ago. My right knee and left foot needed attention. Sarah Jane diagnosed the injuries and gave me rehab exercises. I attended four times at two week intervals. The injuries were assessed, progress noted and exercises were upgraded on each visit. Then Sarah Jane was happy I could progress without any further visits. She gave me a number of exercises to continue doing. I was very satisfied with the professional service. Sarah Jane was excellent at diagnosing the weaknesses and prescribing the most suitable rehab exercises. I’m grateful for the ongoing exercises and limbs are improving. I recommend Compass Physio most highly. Kind regards, Eamonn
