I have shoulder pain which I think is a result of an old sporting injury. Are there any activities I can do without making the pain worse?

Before I get on to discussing exercises to help this problem I would just like to recommend that you visit your doctor to get the issue checked out! You will want to get to the root of the problem before making any drastic lifestyle changes.

Stretching can help to ease shoulder pain so an activity like yoga might help. This is also very relaxing so may ease any tension too. I would stay clear of anything too vigorous such as going to the gym or tennis.

Making changes to your posture and diet can also help to ease shoulder pain so I’d recommend reading the following blog by our Muscles and Joints Advisor Earle Logan for further advice: ’10 easy ways to ease shoulder and neck pain’.
