Ligament and tendon injuries
Ligaments and tendons are what keep our joints together, and are prone to strains and sprains when we don't listen carefully to our bodies messages or over-ride and over do things sometimes.
These may require some electrotherapy treatments such as uUtrasound therapy or LASER, gentle manual therapy and exercises with careful advice to progress recovery. It is very easy to be "Just well enough to make things worse" so working together to discuss your unique situation can help.
“I have received excellent care from Shirley-Ann over many years for various problems. She has a gentle manner and technique, which allows the body to relax and be open to any treatment. Best physiotherapist I have seen in recent years.”

Shoulder Injuries
The Shoulder is an interesting and complex joint surrounded by a set of exercises which stabilise it know as the "rotator cuff muscles." Muscle, tendon, ligament, capsule, nerve, joint ares may be involved as with the collar bone (clavicle) or Shoulder blade (scapula) which all meet at the top of your shoulder, an area prone to wear and tear and sometimes requiring an Arthroscopic Sub-acrominal decompression ASD operation followed by physiotherapy rehabilitation involving manual therapy and exercises mostly to re-gain range and function.
