Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the treatment of a frozen shoulder take?
A frozen shoulder typically goes through three phases and can last 12-18 months. With consistent physiotherapy, we can significantly accelerate recovery – usually to 8-12 weeks.
What is impingement syndrome?
In impingement syndrome, the rotator cuff becomes pinched within the shoulder joint. This often occurs during overhead activities such as trimming hedges or painting. We treat this with Manual Therapy and targeted exercise.
Does a rotator cuff tear require surgery?
Not always! Many rotator cuff tears can be treated conservatively with physiotherapy. We strengthen the surrounding muscles to restore the function of the shoulder.
Does health insurance cover the costs?
Yes, with a medical prescription, the costs are covered by all statutory and private health insurance providers.
