Gentle stretching and strengthening exercises are important to maintain and eventually improve mobility and function. Our physiotherapy coaches can guide you through safe ways to do this. They can also help provide guidance regarding how your current exercise routine can be modified during this period.

Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories (like ibuprofen) or prescribed medications may help ease discomfort so your day to day function and sleep can improve.

Applying heat before stretching and cold after exercise can reduce stiffness and swelling.

In some cases, a steroid injection into the shoulder joint can reduce inflammation and provide quicker relief.

While rest may seem tempting, not using your shoulder can make things worse. Keep moving within your limits.
