When Lifting Your Arm Feels Like Lifting a Mountain

Let’s Help You Move Comfortably Again Without Risky Procedures

Struggling to reach overhead, carry a bag, or even find a comfortable position in bed? Many people in Sevenoaks wake up each day with that same stubborn shoulder ache, hoping it will pass on its own.

You may have tried painkillers, hot packs, or “waiting it out.” Maybe you’ve cut back on activities you love, thinking rest would do the trick. Yet the stiffness and discomfort are still there, affecting your work, your sleep, and your mood.

At Manor Clinic in Sevenoaks, our expert physiotherapists help people ease shoulder pain using safe and effective treatment. No endless tablets. No unnecessary procedures. Just clear guidance, gentle hands-on care, and tailored exercises that bring lasting relief.

With decades of trusted experience and thousands of patients helped across Kent, you will be in skilled and supportive hands from your very first visit.

Why Is My Shoulder Still Hurting?

Many people believe shoulder pain will ease with time. A few days of rest, a tablet or two, maybe an ice pack. It feels better for a moment, but before long the stiffness and ache creep back.

At Manor Clinic in Sevenoaks, we often meet people who have been living this cycle for weeks or even months. They try to avoid painful movements, stop playing sport, or carry on with the help of painkillers. These things help in the short term, but they do not allow the shoulder to heal fully.

The shoulder is a hardworking joint. It supports you in almost everything you do, from lifting and reaching to dressing and sleeping. Without the right guidance, it rarely recovers on its own.

The hopeful part is that once the root cause is treated, pain begins to fade, movement feels easier, and daily life becomes lighter again.

The Journey Many Shoulders Take

When people visit Manor Clinic in Sevenoaks, their stories often sound familiar. They rest, take advice, try gentle massage, or use ice packs. Some pause activities like tennis or swimming. Others change how they lift shopping or carry their children.

These steps bring some comfort, but the shoulder often needs more support to recover fully. That is where we can help.

Our team listens carefully, not only to the pain but also to how it affects daily life. By finding the real cause and guiding recovery step by step, we help people return to the things they love with confidence.

Every week, we see shoulders that once felt stiff or heavy begin to move with ease. Watching our patients lift, stretch, and rest without discomfort is the most rewarding part of what we do.

Why Hasn't My Shoulder Healed Yet?

If your shoulder pain has been troubling you for weeks or even months, here are the most common reasons we see at Manor Clinic

Waiting for Time to Fix It

You hoped it would ease on its own, but the discomfort kept returning. Time alone isn't always the healer we want it to be.

Depending on Tablets

Painkillers dull the ache for a while, but once they wear off, the problem is still there. They mask symptoms without addressing the root cause.

Slowing Down Too Much

Avoiding movement may feel safe, but it can leave the shoulder weaker and stiffer, creating a cycle of reduced mobility.

Trying Home Remedies

Heat packs, supports, or gadgets give short relief, but they don't solve the underlying cause of your shoulder pain.

Believing It's Just Age

Friends may say shoulder pain is normal as you get older, but that doesn't mean you must live with it. Age doesn't have to mean pain.

Advice That Didn't Last

Some people try other treatments that help briefly, only for the pain to return. Without proper diagnosis, relief is often temporary.

Four Steps to Help Ease Shoulder Pain and Keep It Away

Shoulder pain rarely disappears overnight, but with the right approach, real progress can be made. At Manor Clinic in Sevenoaks, we guide our patients through these simple steps:

01.

Decide to get the right help

Many people wait weeks or months, hoping the pain will fade. The sooner you seek proper treatment, the sooner you can feel like yourself again.

02.

Follow the right exercises for your shoulder

Not all stretches or movements are safe for every type of pain. Our physiotherapists create a programme designed for your shoulder, building strength and easing tension safely.

03.

Make small changes in posture and daily habits

How you sit at work, how you lift, and even how you sleep can affect your shoulder. Simple adjustments, combined with guided care, can prevent the pain from returning.

04.

Use hands-on physiotherapy

Gentle, targeted treatment helps restore movement, reduce stiffness, and tackle the root cause, not just the symptoms.

By combining these steps, you can rebuild strength, regain freedom, and enjoy life without your shoulder holding you back.
