Shoulder pain can be quite restricting, limiting your ability to work, play, get dressed and sleep! It is amazing how many day to day tasks are impacted when you are suffering shoulder pain.

It may be due to an acute injury, repetitive use, referred from the neck, referred from the upper back, nerve compressions and even referred from organs!
