Find Relief From Stubborn Shoulder Pain
If your shoulder hurts every time you move, or you’ve had the odd sharp jolt that lingers, it’s a sign something’s off.
With our shoulder physiotherapy in Melbourne, we look for what’s really behind it, which could be an old knock from sport, a tendon under too much strain, or arthritis quietly building over the years. Once we know, we put a plan in place that suits you, not just “the condition.”
Pain is only part of the problem. Shoulder trouble can sneak into your routine and mess with the basics like grabbing a bowl from the top shelf, carrying a full kettle, or even sleeping without waking up sore. Avoid those moves for too long and you’ll likely end up with a stiffer, weaker shoulder. With our shoulder physio sessions, we try to step in before it gets to that point.
Our skilled physiotherapists are trained to pinpoint and address the root causes of your pain, ensuring it doesn't return. By the end of your shoulder physio consultation session, you'll have a clear, actionable plan to target and manage the problem areas for long-term relief.

Our Approach to Shoulder Physiotherapy
Our shoulder physiotherapy in Melbourne isn’t just “sessions on the table.” It’s looking at how you actually use your arm during the week, then matching the plan to that.
We notice patterns – how often you feel it, what makes it worse, the positions that seem fine for a bit and then flare things up. From there, we set up a program that fits around your life rather than taking it over.
Problem Assessment
We not only check the joint, but also how the muscles around it work, your posture at rest, and how your shoulder moves under load. Then we map out a clear, structured shoulder physiotherapy plan that combines hands-on treatment and specific strengthening drills.
Physio Treatment
Your physio will start the plan and adjust it as you go. Movements will be modified to maximise your gain from the exercise. As your pain gets better, these exercises will be progressed so that your body continues to improve.
Continued Care
Pain going away doesn’t mean the job’s done. We’ll keep an eye on your shoulder, build on your progress, and give you the tools to keep it strong long after the clinic visits slow down.

How Can Our Shoulder Physio Help?
No two shoulders behave the same. You might bounce back quickly; someone else with a similar injury might take longer. That’s normal.
Our experienced team of physiotherapists is trained to diagnose and pinpoint the root causes of your pain. With this approach, we ensure that you move from pain towards performance. Combining hands-on therapy and clinical exercises, we loosen up the stubborn spots, check your movement patterns, and make it easier for you to do the rehabilitative exercise so the same pain doesn’t creep back.
What shoulder physiotherapy can do for you:
- Pain Relief – Take the sting out so you’re not wincing with every lift or twist.
- Improved Mobility – Get back the easy reach and rotation that makes daily life simpler.
- Recovery Support – Gradual, guided rehab after surgery, injury, or repetitive strain.
If your shoulder’s been holding you back, we can help you change that. Give us a call at Livewell Health and let’s see what’s possible.
