Rotator Cuff Rehab Mt Gravatt
Guiding your shoulder back to strength.
Rotator Cuff Rehab Designed Around you
A rotator cuff injury may make even the simplest movements difficult, from lifting a shopping bag to rolling over in bed. Having support early on may make all the difference in your recovery.
If you’re looking for supportive rotator cuff rehab with a local physio in Mt Gravatt, A Pinch of Prevention is the right place to start. We take the time to understand your concerns and offer targeted care to help you feel stronger and steadier.
Causes of Rotator Cuff Injuries
The rotator cuff muscles and tendons surround the shoulder joint. Their job is to keep the ball of your upper arm steady and help guide smooth, controlled movement.
Rotator cuff injuries often develop when these tissues are placed under prolonged strain. This may happen for many reasons, including:
- Repetitive overhead movements
- Frequent or heavy lifting
- Falls or sudden accidents
Rotator Cuff Injury Symptoms
Rotator cuff injuries don’t just present as shoulder pain; many people may also experience other symptoms such as:
- Arm and shoulder weakness
- Limited range of motion
- Pain when lying on the affected side
- Tight muscles
- Neck pain
How we Treat Rotator Cuff Injuries
At A Pinch of Prevention, we use a variety of gentle techniques to help support your rotator cuff rehabilitation, such as:
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy treatment may involve a mix of manual therapy and exercise physiology techniques designed to improve strength, mobility, and overall function.
Naturopathy
Naturopathy takes a holistic approach, using diet, herbal formulas, and tailored guidance to support your body’s natural recovery.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles placed at specific points to ease tension and reduce discomfort, helping your shoulder pain feel more manageable during rehab.
Frequently Asked Rotator Cuff Rehab Questions
What happens if I don't seek treatment for my rotator cuff injury?
Without support, a rotator cuff injury may gradually worsen. This may lead to chronic pain, stiffness, tearing of the tendons, or even conditions such as frozen shoulder. Getting care early on may help you prevent further strain on the shoulder.
What should I expect in my first appointment?
During your first session with A Pinch of Prevention, an experienced physiotherapist will assess your history and conduct a thorough physical examination. This will help them identify the cause of your shoulder pain so that they may tailor an appropriate treatment plan and perform treatment to relieve symptoms.
Will I need surgery?
Surgery is rarely the first option. Most patients respond well to physiotherapy and a structured rehabilitation plan, and home program as well. If needed, we may liaise with your GP or surgeon to help your care stay well coordinated.
