Shoulder Pain Physiotherapy in Mississauga
Shoulder Pain Physiotherapy at Get Back Physiotherapy in Mississauga is designed to help individuals reduce pain, restore shoulder mobility, and regain strength for daily activities, work, and sports. Shoulder pain can limit simple movements such as lifting, reaching, or sleeping comfortably and may worsen if not treated properly.
Whether your shoulder pain is caused by rotator cuff injuries, poor posture, repetitive overhead activity, sports injuries, arthritis, or post-surgical recovery, our evidence-based physiotherapy programs focus on identifying the underlying cause and delivering long-term relief—not just temporary symptom control.

Initial Assessment & Shoulder Evaluation
Your first visit at Get Back Physiotherapy includes a comprehensive shoulder assessment to accurately diagnose the source of pain:
- Detailed pain and injury history
- Shoulder posture and alignment analysis
- Range of motion and flexibility testing
- Muscle strength and imbalance assessment
- Rotator cuff and joint stability screening
- Functional movement and activity assessment
This evaluation allows us to create a personalized, goal-driven treatment plan based on your condition and lifestyle needs.
Pain Relief & Early-Stage Treatment
In the early phase of treatment, our focus is to reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle guarding:
- Pain-relieving manual therapy
- Gentle shoulder joint mobilizations
- Soft tissue techniques for surrounding muscles
- Inflammation and swelling management
- Activity modification and movement education
Early pain control helps restore confidence and prepares the shoulder for active rehabilitation.
Manual Therapy & Soft Tissue Techniques
Hands-on physiotherapy plays a key role in shoulder pain recovery:
- Glenohumeral and scapular joint mobilizations
- Soft tissue and deep tissue release
- Myofascial release techniques
- Trigger point therapy
- Muscle energy techniques
- Cupping therapy (if clinically indicated)
These techniques improve shoulder mobility and reduce stress on injured tissues.

We design customized exercise programs to restore shoulder strength, stability, and function:
- Rotator cuff strengthening
- Scapular stabilization exercises
- Shoulder mobility and flexibility training
- Postural correction exercises
- Functional movement retraining
