Shoulder pain
Shoulder discomfort can make dressing, reaching overhead and finding a comfortable sleeping position difficult.
Understanding your symptoms
Possible causes include rotator cuff tendon problems, bursitis, osteoarthritis and frozen shoulder. Pain and restricted movement do not always mean the same thing, and treatment should reflect the underlying problem.
Where cold can help
Temperature controlled cold therapy is one option for easing shoulder pain. Some people prefer warmth. Neither approach replaces an assessment or exercises recommended for your condition.
Localised cooling should not be described as releasing a frozen shoulder or repairing a torn tendon. At Cryo Recovery Suite, we consider whether a trial of cold therapy is suitable and monitor whether you find it helpful.
Your movement goals
Your goals might include reaching a cupboard, putting on a coat or becoming more comfortable with everyday movement. We encourage an approach that works alongside appropriate rehabilitation.
Get advice first
Sudden severe pain, inability to move your arm, a change in shoulder shape, persistent numbness, or symptoms following an injury need medical assessment before a clinic treatment.
