Sprain and Strain
A sprain is an injury to a ligament (connecting bones), while a strain affects a muscle or tendon (connecting muscles to bones). Both can result from overuse, sudden impact, or incorrect lifting. Symptoms include pain, swelling, stiffness, bruising, and difficulty moving the affected area.
What are the treatments for Sprains and Strains?
A physiotherapist can assess your injury and create a personalized recovery plan, including:
- Soft tissue massage — Promotes healing of damaged connective tissues.

Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint with extensive connective tissue, allowing multi-directional movement but making it susceptible to injury — especially rotator cuff injuries. Symptoms include deep shoulder pain, arm weakness, difficulty reaching behind the back, and disrupted sleep. Physiotherapy can often reduce pain and restore strength without surgery. According to the American Physiotherapy Association, physiotherapy alone produces results comparable to surgical repair for nontraumatic rotator cuff tears.
How can one treat Shoulder Pain?
Many patients experience improvement after just a few sessions using techniques such as:
- Massage Therapy — Reduces muscle tension and improves flexibility in the shoulder joint.
- Acupuncture — Targets specific points to reduce inflammation and stimulate healing.
- Ice & Heat Therapy — Ice reduces acute swelling; heat (after 72 hours) relaxes muscles and promotes blood flow.
- Physiotherapy — Hands-on mobilization to restore natural tissue mobility.
- Stretching and Exercise — Progressive exercises to regain full range of motion, often including neck and spine work.
A Multidisciplinary Approach at Bodiworks
Physiotherapy leads your recovery at Bodiworks, working alongside our other therapies for a complete, coordinated approach to care:
