Shoulder Impingement

Shoulder impingement occurs when the tendons or bursa in the shoulder become compressed, leading to pain and restricted movement. This condition is often the result of repetitive overhead motions, poor posture, or an injury, and can significantly impact your ability to perform daily tasks. At Surge Wellness, we specialize in diagnosing and treating shoulder impingement with a comprehensive approach that targets both the symptoms and the underlying causes. Our team understands how frustrating shoulder pain can be, and we are committed to helping you restore full function and eliminate discomfort.

Left untreated, shoulder impingement can lead to more serious conditions such as rotator cuff tears or chronic inflammation. It is important to address the issue early to avoid long-term damage. At Surge Wellness, we assess your shoulder mechanics and posture to pinpoint the cause of your impingement. From there, we develop a personalized treatment plan that focuses on reducing inflammation, improving mobility, and strengthening the muscles that support your shoulder. Our goal is to not only relieve your pain but also to equip you with strategies to prevent future flare-ups and maintain healthy shoulder movement.

How We Treat Shoulder Impingement

At Surge Wellness, our treatment for shoulder impingement combines physiotherapy and registered massage therapy for optimal results. Our physiotherapists use targeted exercises to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles and improve shoulder stability. Manual therapy techniques, such as joint mobilization and soft tissue release, help restore proper movement and alleviate pain. We also incorporate posture correction and functional movement training to ensure that your shoulder is properly aligned, preventing further irritation. Our approach not only provides immediate relief but also addresses the root cause of your impingement to ensure long-term recovery.

Registered massage therapy complements physiotherapy by addressing muscle tightness, tension, and inflammation that often accompany shoulder impingement. Techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release are used to reduce pain and promote healing in the affected areas. This combination of therapies enhances mobility, reduces muscle imbalances, and improves overall shoulder function. By integrating physiotherapy and massage therapy, we provide a holistic treatment plan that helps you regain full range of motion and return to your normal activities without discomfort.
