Shoulder Pain
Welcome to Lion Rocker’s Thornlie clinic within Medika Health Clinic at 271 Spencer Rd, your local hub for comprehensive physiotherapy and allied health services. Proudly serving Thornlie, Maddington, Gosnells, and surrounding suburbs, we’re dedicated to helping the community achieve lasting wellness with a wide range of specialized treatments.
Shoulder pain can quickly limit your ability to lift, reach, carry, exercise, sleep, or perform work tasks. Whether the pain came on suddenly from an awkward movement or developed slowly over weeks or months, it can significantly impact daily life. At Lion Rocker Health, our physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, podiatrists and remedial massage therapists work together using a comprehensive, interventional and personalised approach to treat shoulder pain.
