Shoulder, and Arm Pain

Shoulder, Elbow and Wrist Pain Treatment in Cardiff

At Governing Function Pain and Rehabilitation Clinic in Cardiff city centre, we provide expert care for people experiencing shoulder, elbow, and wrist pain.
Our approach combines osteopathy, neurology, and rehabilitation to help you understand the factors contributing to your pain and support improved movement, function, and comfort.

Understanding Shoulder, Elbow and Wrist Pain

Pain in the shoulder, elbow, or wrist can result from a variety of causes including muscle imbalance, joint stiffness, overuse, or postural strain. Sports injuries, repetitive work tasks, and previous trauma can also contribute.

These areas are closely connected — issues in the shoulder can affect the elbow and wrist, and vice versa. Understanding the interrelationship of muscles, joints, and nerves is essential for effective management.

Common causes we see include:

  • Shoulder impingement or rotator cuff tension

  • Tennis or golfer’s elbow (lateral or medial epicondylitis)

  • Carpal tunnel or wrist overuse injuries

  • Postural or repetitive strain-related arm pain

  • Stiffness or reduced mobility following injury

Our Approach to Care

At Governing Function, your first consultation involves a detailed discussion of your symptoms, activity levels, and medical history, followed by a thorough physical and neurological assessment.
This allows us to identify contributing factors, movement patterns, and areas of tension that may be maintaining your pain.

Treatment may include:

  • Osteopathic techniques to improve joint mobility and muscle function

  • Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex (PDTR) to correct neurological dysfunction

  • Rehabilitation exercises to restore strength, coordination, and movement

  • Lifestyle and ergonomic advice to support long-term improvement

Our goal is to help you restore comfortable movement, improve arm and shoulder function, and reduce the impact of pain on your daily activities and sport.
