Shoulder Pain: How to Find Relief and Feel Strong Again

Shoulder pain is a common issue that can make even the smallest tasks—like reaching for a mug or brushing your hair—feel frustrating or even impossible. Whether you're dealing with an old injury, overuse, or a new flare-up, there's good news: you don’t have to live with shoulder pain.

At Well+Able Integrated Health in Kamloops, we specialize in helping people move better and feel stronger. Our therapists work with you one-on-one to understand your shoulder pain and create a plan that fits your life.

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

  • Rotator cuff injuries (strains, tendinitis, or tears)

  • Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)

  • Shoulder impingement

  • Arthritis

  • Postural strain from work, parenting, or repetitive movement

  • Patient education so you understand what’s going on—and what to do about it

  • DNM (Dermoneuromodulation) and gentle techniques for sensitive pain conditions

We listen to your story and adjust care based on what works best for you.
