When treating shoulder pain a period of de loading or resting the affected structures may be required followed by progressive loading of the tissue to ensure the shoulder is then able to deal with the forces and stress that are put upon it, whether that be sporting or work requirements, across the wide range of motion offered by the shoulder joint. It is also important to consider the surrounding anatomy that contribute to shoulder function such as the thoracic and neck, allowing for a strong reliable upper limb.
