Introduction:
Does shoulder pain keep you from enjoying your favourite activities, like swimming, lifting weights, or even simple tasks like getting dressed? Shoulder pain can be incredibly frustrating, affecting your quality of life and holding you back from the things you love.
You might have tried resting, painkillers, or even cortisone injections, only to find temporary relief at best. The good news? You can treat shoulder pain naturally and effectively without relying on surgery or medications.
Understanding Shoulder Pain:
- Rotator cuff injuries: Often caused by repetitive overhead motions or strain
- Bursitis: Inflammation in the small sacs that cushion your shoulder joint.
- Osteoarthritis: Age-related wear and tear leading to stiffness and discomfort.
- Frozen Shoulder: Inflammation of the the shoulder joint capsule with reduced movement and pain
Cutting-Edge Treatments for Lasting Relief
At Cornwall Physio, we specialise in advanced therapies that target the source of shoulder pain for long-term results.
- Focused Shockwave Therapy (fSWT):
- Breaks down calcifications in tendons.
- Improves blood flow for better tissue healing.
- Reduces pain and restores movement over time.
- Electromagnetic Transduction Therapy (EMTT):
- Penetrates deep into tissues to reduce inflammation and promote cellular repair.
- Stimulates healing in chronic and stubborn shoulder conditions.

Tips for Managing Shoulder Pain at Home
