Shoulder rehabilitation

• Post surgery to gain optimum function. Programs can include hydrotherapy, supervised gym programs, review of workplace or sporting activities
• Soft tissue conditions. Physiotherapy focuses on understanding the condition and analysing causative factors such as age, occupation, posture and habitual movement patterns
• Preventing or minimizing abnormal shoulder posture with attendant soft tissue shortening and pain which is essential after major upper limb surgery or injury.

Specifically, the goals of our intervention are to:

• Develop, implement, monitor and modify therapeutic exercise programs specific to individual conditions.
• Retrain normal movement patterns and provide education about specific conditions.
• Ensure exercises are optimal for each individual's condition to improve client's range of movement and function at home and work. This involves addressing poor movement patterns and muscle balance around the shoulder girdle.
• Prevent poor posture and abnormal patterns of movement following upper limb surgery thereby preventing or minimising pain and decreased function.
• Following appropriate treatment, teach techniques to prevent shoulder problems from recurring.
