Shoulder Injury Guide

Do you have shoulder pain or experience pain when lifting, moving, or sleeping on your side? The shoulder joint is mobile and is loaded daily, making it sensitive to overload, irritation of tendons and muscles, or acute injuries. Here you will find guidance on common shoulder problems, their symptoms, and what you can do to reduce pain and facilitate recovery. A licensed physiotherapist has reviewed the content.

When should you seek medical attention?

In case of severe pain, sudden swelling, locking, or instability, contact healthcare.
