At The Physios, we specialize in advanced physiotherapy care for shoulder impingement, helping patients overcome pain, improve mobility, and restore daily function. Shoulder impingement is a common condition caused by inflammation or compression of the tendons in the shoulder, often resulting in sharp pain, limited range of motion, and discomfort during arm movement. Our expert physiotherapists use a combination of manual therapy, personalized exercise programs, postural correction, and pain-relief modalities to effectively treat shoulder impingement. With a focus on senior care, we tailor every session to the individual's age, condition, and recovery goals. At The Physios, our goal is to help you regain pain-free shoulder movement through safe, evidence-based physiotherapy practices.

Shoulder pain is one of the most common complaints among adults, especially those involved in repetitive overhead activities or sports. At The Physios, we specialize in diagnosing, managing, and rehabilitating Shoulder Impingement Syndrome, a condition that can severely restrict mobility and daily function if not treated appropriately. Our team of expert physiotherapists is dedicated to providing evidence-based and patient-centric care that restores movement and reduces pain effectively.
Shoulder Impingement Syndrome occurs when the rotator cuff tendons become compressed or "impinged" between the bones of the shoulder, particularly under the acromion (part of the shoulder blade). This compression leads to inflammation, pain, and restricted movement. Over time, untreated impingement can cause tendon tears or chronic shoulder dysfunction. The Physios approach this condition not just as a shoulder issue but as a musculoskeletal problem that can be influenced by posture, movement habits, and muscle imbalances. We go beyond treating symptoms to identifying and correcting the root cause.
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it could be a sign of shoulder impingement:
Shoulder impingement is often worsened by poor posture, especially for individuals working long hours at desks or on mobile devices. At The Physios, we emphasize postural re-education and provide ergonomic training to reduce stress on the shoulder during daily activities. We also educate patients about modifications they can make at work or home to support healing and prevent further irritation.
For certain cases, we supplement hands-on therapy with Kinesio taping to support the shoulder joint, offload painful tissues, and improve movement patterns. We may also use ultrasound therapy, TENS, or laser therapy to accelerate healing in the early stages.
