Unpacking Shoulder Pain: From Mechanics to Inflammatory Pain

How can this event help me?

If you’ve ever struggled with shoulder pain, you’re not alone—and knowing how to manage it can make all the difference. We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming Lifestyle Event, where expert Physiotherapists Tim Lee and Jackson Zhou will dive into the details of shoulder pain. This session will help you better understand the common causes of shoulder discomfort and provide you with practical strategies to manage and reduce pain. Whether you're recovering from a recent injury or dealing with ongoing issues, this webinar will offer valuable tools to help you regain strength, improve mobility, and move with confidence again.

In our upcoming Lifestyle Event, Tim and Jackson will aim to cover:

  • Understanding Shoulder Pain: Dive into the anatomy of the shoulder and explore key causes of pain, such as overuse, injury, and poor posture. You’ll also gain a better understanding of the differences between inflammatory pain, often linked to arthritis, and mechanical pain, which results from physical strain or injury.
  • Common Shoulder Conditions: Learn about prevalent shoulder conditions, including rotator cuff injuries, impingement, bursitis, and frozen shoulder. Tim and Jackson will explain how these issues develop, the symptoms to look for, and the most effective treatment options to manage them.
  • Pain Management Techniques: Discover practical and targeted exercises, stretches, and therapeutic techniques to manage both inflammatory and mechanical shoulder pain. These strategies will help you improve shoulder strength, restore mobility, and reduce discomfort, whether you're dealing with an acute injury or chronic condition.
  • Posture and Movement Strategies: Learn how to maintain healthy shoulder function through posture correction and mindful movement. Tim and Jackson will provide actionable advice on adjusting daily habits, such as workstation ergonomics and lifting techniques, to protect your shoulders from strain and injury.

This webinar is ideal for anyone experiencing shoulder pain, as well as those looking to prevent future injuries. Join our live virtual event at 8pm Wednesday November 13th. Like all of our lifestyle events, we will welcome questions and discussion so we can all hear and learn from each other.
