Wakefield Shoulder Clinic
Injuries and disorders of the shoulder are best managed by an
integrated team providing
precise assessment and investigation, with
evidence based management
comprising physiotherapy and other non-operative modalities, as well as surgical reconstruction and repair where appropriate.

Physiotherapist

Where the diagnosis has been made, and the patient requires a physiotherapy management regime, including targeted shoulder rehabilitation, hydrotherapy and exercises
