We understand that shoulder pain can be really debilitating, make you feel fed up and frustrated. The upper limb is designed for function and survival (eating, drinking and personal hygiene). People with shoulder pain commonly struggle sleeping which can make everything much harder to deal with when you’re tired.

The causes of shoulder pain are:

- Tendonitis: inflammation of the tendons which support the shoulder and aid in the function of the shoulder joint
- Joint capsule damage: Such as dislocation due to injury or instability of the shoulder joint
