Subjective assessment
Your subjective assessment will involve your physiotherapist taking a thorough history of your problem, asking questions regarding:
- When the pain began, did anything cause it
- Location, nature and behaviour of the pain
- Past medical history
- Any current medication
- Work and leisure activities
Objective assessment
The objective assessment is a physical examination which looks at:
- Passive and active range of movement of the shoulder complex
- Muscle strength
- Areas of tenderness
- Reflexes
- Sensation
- Special tests
- Other joints may also be looked at, including the cervical and thoracic spine
Following the objective assessment the physiotherapist will diagnose the problem and inform you whether or not physiotherapy would be advantageous. If physiotherapy is suitable treatment will begin straight away.
Treatment
Many treatment techniques can be used to treat a multitude of shoulder problems, such as:
- Stretching and strengthening exercises
- Joint mobilisation
- Advice and education
- Correction of posture
- Electrotherapy
- Soft tissue release
- Massage
- Ice and heat therapy
Exercises are often provided for patients to perform between physiotherapy sessions, to speed up recovery.
