The underlying principle of conservative treatment is to restore correct balance to the shoulder muscles so that none of them rub on the surrounding bone (acromion).

This is done by a combination of core strengthening exercises, antiinflammatory treatments and specific shoulder exercises.

Your physiotherapist will guide you through these.

To ensure long term recovery it is essential to 'relearn' the correct way to move the shoulder.
If surgery is necessary then post operative physiotherapy is an essential part of the treatment to maximise the chance of a good result
