Shoulder & Elbow Pain
What is Shoulder & Elbow Pain?
Shoulder and elbow pain are common conditions that can affect your ability to reach, lift, or carry out daily activities comfortably. The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, while the elbow is essential for arm stability and strength â meaning even mild discomfort in either joint can greatly impact your movement and performance.
At London Physiotherapy, we assess the root cause of your pain and provide targeted treatment to relieve discomfort, restore mobility, and improve strength. Our evidence-based approach combines hands-on therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and postural education to help you recover safely and effectively.
