WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF SHOULDER PAIN?

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF SHOULDER PAIN?

Shoulder pain can develop for a variety of reasons and is often linked to irritation within the muscles, tendons or joints surrounding the shoulder complex.

Some of the most common causes of shoulder pain include:

  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Shoulder impingement
  • Tendon irritation
  • Sports injuries
  • Poor posture
  • Reduced upper back mobility
  • Gym overload
  • Repetitive lifting
  • Neck-related shoulder pain

Rotator Cuff Injuries

The rotator cuff muscles help stabilise and control the shoulder joint. These tissues commonly become irritated through gym training, sport, repetitive lifting or age-related overload.

Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder causes significant stiffness and pain, often making it difficult to lift the arm or reach behind your back.

Shoulder Impingement

Pain lifting the arm overhead or reaching sideways can sometimes be related to irritation within the shoulder joint.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF SHOULDER PAIN?

Symptoms of shoulder pain can vary depending on the underlying cause but commonly include:

  • Pain lifting the arm
  • Pain reaching overhead
  • Weakness in the shoulder
  • Pain sleeping on one side
  • Clicking or catching sensations
  • Stiffness and reduced mobility
  • Pain during gym exercises
  • Shoulder pain during golf or racket sports
  • Difficulty dressing
  • Pain reaching behind your back

Some people experience sharp pain during movement, while others notice a gradual loss of strength and mobility over time.

HOW TO RELIEVE SHOULDER PAIN

Successful shoulder treatment often involves improving:

  • Shoulder mobility
  • Rotator cuff strength
  • Shoulder stability
  • Upper back movement
  • Posture and mechanics
  • Muscle overload patterns

At The Health Hub we use a multidisciplinary approach to shoulder rehabilitation to help reduce pain and improve long-term movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common cause of shoulder pain?

Rotator cuff irritation is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain, particularly in active adults and people over 40.

Can shoulder pain come from the neck?

Yes. Neck stiffness and nerve irritation can commonly refer pain into the shoulder and arm.

Why does shoulder pain hurt more at night?

Inflamed or irritated shoulder tissues often become more noticeable at night due to pressure and reduced movement during sleep.

Yes. Physiotherapy can help improve strength, mobility and shoulder mechanics while addressing the underlying causes of pain.

Testimonials

Read what our patients have to say.

The team at the Health Hub are great! I’m having ongoing treatment with Kirk for an ankle injury I’ve now had surgery on. He was able to refer me to a great surgeon and supported me the whole way through that process. Since having surgery he has helped me with my rehab and created a tailored plan for my personal needs/goals. I’ve also had treatment with Tina and Sam who were equally brilliant. There’s a running theme with everyone at the Health Hub; they take time to listen to you about your injury/issue and help you to get back to whatever it is that you want to do! I couldn’t recommend the Health Hub enough!

Rob Cope

I had been suffering from bad pain in my hip and leg for some time and was worried it may be a major problem with my hip. I decided to try Health Hub to see what they thought. I had an initial consultation with Joe Lancaster and he diagnosed the issue very quickly. Joe explained clearly what the issue was and what was needed to treat it. After about a month of treatments and doing home exercises prescribed by Joe I can now walk without pain. It has been such a relief to get back to normal. I would thoroughly recommend Joe.

Graham H

Visited the health hub after my girlfriend had a good experience a while back for a sports massage from Tina. I injured my back and called for a same day appointment with Joe Lancaster, after a few sessions/treatments with Joe I am back to full health and managing to carry on with mountain biking again with no issues. No pressure from Joe or the Health hub staff to rebook etc, will definitely be back to see Joe and also get booked in for a sports massage to hopefully avoid injury again!

Craig Goodyear

Have been to Health hub for physio and massage in the past so very happy with the service.
I saw Joe Lancaster one of their chiropractors for a neck problem. Definitely deserves 5 stars very professional and explained everything gives really good range of exercises to follow at home. Having had a bad experience with a chiropractor in the past Joe filled me with confidence would happily recommend him.

Graham Hollebon

I have been with health hub for the last three years and have always been amazed by the excellent customer services all the time, be it the receptionist or the professional therapist. I am also impressed with the cleaningness of the waiting area and the provision of water cooler and tea and coffee was offered if needed. Definitely a loyal and repeat customer.

Jessica Finney

Health Hub comprises a brilliant team of top, friendly professionals no matter who you come into contact with. They have helped me no end with massages, treatments and injury prevention techniques, such as stretches. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them, and have on a few occasions to friends. I don’t hope to have much need for them, but if I need to go back I’ll know I’m in safe hands.

Russell Brown

I have been visiting Martin Ratcliffe, Physiotherapist, at the Health Hub, Haywards Heath, for the past three months, for support to recover from a patella fracture I had seventeen months ago. Martin has been excellent. He is young and energetic, kind, caring and knowledgeable. I am so grateful that he keeps stretching me, and moving me forward on my journey of recovery and mobility. I have come a long way in the past three months.
All the staff that I have met at the Health hub have been efficient and welcoming. The premises are clean and light, and easily accessible. Thank you so much for the service you provide. I look forward to my next visit.
