Shoulder Pain - What to expect from physiotherapy treatment
If you attend a physiotherapist with shoulder or neck pain - what should you expect in the way of treatment?
A new large study looked at the treatment options chosen by physiotherapists when faced with a patient complaining of shoulder pain and neck pain.
The study had a follow-up period of 6 months and looked at the treatments applied by physical therapists in treating patients with pain in the arm, neck and / or the shoulder.
During a 1-year period, the participating physiotherapists recorded data about patients with pain in and around the upper extremity. The patients completed a questionnaire at baseline, and the physical therapists completed a treatment record for up to 6 months.
624 patients took part.
93% of the patients were treated with exercise therapy and 87% received massage or a combination of both.
More patients with specific complaints received exercises or massage and patients with pain less well localised to one area were treated with manipulation techniques.
