When shoulder pain makes it hard to sleep, reach overhead or do the things you enjoy, we’ll help you understand what’s happening and build a step-by-step plan back to what matters.
We assess rotator cuff pain, shoulder stiffness and pain with swimming, throwing or lifting. If pain travels down your arm, or you notice tingling, numbness or weakness, we can assess your shoulder and neck together and discuss whether further assessment is needed.

Andrew Grigg has a clinical interest in shoulder rehabilitation. Alex Gough brings a competitive swimming background and an interest in sports injury rehabilitation.
The immediate impact of shoulder pain changes how you manage basic daily routines—forcing a change to button-up shirts, restricting sleep comfort, and making you rely entirely on your other arm for everyday activities. Structurally, the shoulder is a highly specialized, unique joint designed like a ball-and-socket to favor extreme range of mobility over rigid structural locking.
Because of this open design, the shoulder relies entirely on consistent control, timing, and stability provided by our muscular systems. The position and control of your chest, upper back, pelvis, and hips play a fundamental role in setting up a stable biomechanical platform for the arm to track cleanly.
Our therapists hold an advanced understanding of sports biomechanics, enabling us to pinpoint structural anomalies that standard assessments often overlook. By analyzing your entire upper quadrant, we map out clear paths to transition your shoulder from simple recovery back into forceful movement tracks.
We start with what has changed and what you want to get back to. Then we assess movement, strength and the tasks that bring on your symptoms.
We’ll ask what’s changed at work, in training or at home, and what you want to be able to do again.
We’ll look at how your shoulder moves when you reach, lift or do other tasks that matter to you.
Where relevant, we’ll check your neck and whether it changes your arm symptoms.
We may measure shoulder strength and endurance to guide exercises and track progress.
We’ll explain what we found, discuss whether a scan or referral might help, and agree on what you can keep doing.
We’ll build back towards the demands of your activity. Explore Swimming Physio or Return to Sport for more detail.
