Comprehensive Shoulder & Tendon Treatment in Ashford
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body, relying on a complex balance of muscles, tendons, and ligaments for stability. When rotator cuff tendons become inflamed or the capsule freezes, simple actions like reaching into a cupboard, putting on a jacket, or sleeping on your side become agonizing.
At Physio One Kent, our shoulder specialists conduct in-depth functional testing to diagnose the exact source of your shoulder pain, restoring pain-free overhead movement.
