Understanding Your Condition

What Causes Shoulder Pain?

Shoulder Pain is one of the most common conditions we treat at Activ Therapy. Understanding the underlying cause is the first step towards lasting relief. Our practitioners take the time to properly assess your condition before beginning any treatment — because the right diagnosis leads to the right treatment.

Our Approach

How We Treat Shoulder Pain

Shoulder conditions require precise diagnosis to determine the appropriate treatment approach. Our physiotherapists perform a thorough shoulder assessment including range of motion testing, strength assessment, and special orthopaedic tests. Treatment may include joint mobilisation, rotator cuff strengthening, postural correction, dry needling, and activity modification advice.

Recovery Expectations

Recovery varies significantly by condition. Shoulder impingement typically responds within 6–10 sessions. Frozen shoulder can take 3–12 months for full resolution. Post-surgical shoulder rehabilitation typically takes 3–6 months.
