A thoughtful approach to care
Let's talk through your options and decide together
Coming to see me is an opportunity to have the problem looked at properly. I will listen to your story, examine you carefully and explain, in plain language, what I think is going on.
We then go through every management option that makes sense for you: reassurance and time, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, changes to how you load the arm, injections, or surgery where it is genuinely the right answer.
You leave with a clear understanding of the choices in front of you, and a plan we have decided on together.
Why we treat
Treatment is about your life, not just your scan
Sleep, work, sport, the hobbies you look forward to all week. Shoulder and arm problems quietly take these away, and getting them back is the point of everything we decide together.
