- Painful clicking in the shoulders
How We Treat Rotator Cuff Injuries
We treat shoulder pain/rotator cuff injuries through education first. The key to getting better is understanding your injury in the first place, as well as knowing how we are going to help you get back to normal. We use a variety of techniques. For rotator cuff injuries, this may include manual therapy, IMS, stretching and strengthening exercises.
How do rotator cuff injuries typically occur?
Rotator cuff injuries typically occur as you age and with general use. Engaging in sports or other activities where you’re prone to falling often may also exacerbate these injuries. This is especially the case if you fall and land on your shoulder or attempt to catch yourself from falling. Poor posture can also cause rotator cuff injuries by putting extra strain on the muscles and tendons that make up the rotator cuff. This extra strain can cause those muscles and tendons to become overworked, stressed, and eventually lead to injury.

Prior to today (1 year ago) I had a number of visits with Ian regarding a hip injury and found him to be very thorough in treating the injury and taking the time to explain how the treatments and exercises were going to help me.Today was my first visit for another injury and Ian was great in describing the possible reasons for my problem and his thoroughness in his first treatment and also his concern and direction in telling me to contact my doctor to order up some exams to make sure some of his concerns were looked into further.Thanks Ianread more

I was very impress with Matt's approach on assessing my Mom's ankle. As a senior she finds it hard to communicate what she feels and was very nervous to see him. However, Matt's gentle and respectful approach, quickly put Mom at ease. He listened actively to what she had to say, provided great advice and guided her through exercises. I will definitely be taking Mom to see Matt again!read more

I’ve seen two physiotherapists and one specialist for a diagnosis and treatment of my torn meniscus, but none of them took the time to thoroughly examine and explain my injury and treatment options, like Ian did. I highly recommend him—he’s extremely knowledgeable.read more

Went to Ian for physio and he has been patient, professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. He sends me home with progressive exercises to do and evaluates the pain each time I’ve come in to make sure we are addressing the root cause of the issue. Great service and front staff is friendly and helpful too - I highly recommend Ian and this clinic!read more
