Shoulder & Upper Limb Rehabilitation – Innaloo / Doubleview

Restore strength, mobility, and confidence in your shoulder, elbow and wrist with tailored physiotherapy and exercise rehab at Function Matters Physio.

Upper limb injuries can significantly affect work, sport, gym training, sleep, and everyday movement. At Function Matters Physio, we provide evidence-based rehabilitation for shoulder, elbow, wrist, and upper limb injuries to help patients return to activity with confidence.

Whether symptoms developed gradually through training load, repetitive work, or following an acute injury, our goal is to identify contributing factors and guide a progressive recovery plan tailored to your goals.

Our rehabilitation approach combines hands-on physiotherapy, movement assessment, strength-based rehabilitation, and progressive loading strategies to improve movement, function, and long-term outcomes.

At FxM, we commonly assist with:

• Shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries
• Shoulder impingement
• Frozen shoulder
• Shoulder instability and dislocations
• Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
• Tendon and overuse injuries
• Gym and CrossFit-related injuries
• Throwing and overhead sport injuries
• Post-operative shoulder rehabilitation
• Wrist and forearm overload injuries

Programs are tailored to the physical demands of your work, sport, training, and lifestyle.

Effective upper limb rehabilitation involves more than simply reducing pain.

At Function Matters Physio, rehabilitation focuses on:
✅ Identifying contributing movement and loading factors

✅ Reducing recurrence risk and flare-ups
✅ Rebuilding confidence with work, sport, and overhead activity

Treatment may include:

• Hands-on physiotherapy
• Dry needling
• Strength and gym-based rehabilitation
• Movement and technique assessment
• Exercise programming
• Load management education

Upper limb injuries commonly affect:

• Gym training and lifting
• Swimming and throwing sports
• Overhead work activities
• Sleep quality
• Desk and computer-based work

At FxM, rehabilitation is designed to progressively rebuild strength, load tolerance, and movement confidence while helping patients safely return to activity.

Whether your goal is returning to the gym, improving sporting performance, or reducing recurring flare-ups, treatment plans are tailored to your rehabilitation goals.

Neck stiffness and shoulder blade dysfunction can sometimes contribute to upper limb pain, reduced movement, or nerve-related symptoms.

At Function Matters Physio, assessment considers the interaction between the neck, shoulder, thoracic spine, and upper limb to help identify contributing factors affecting recovery and performance.

You should seek assessment if you experience:

• Persistent shoulder or elbow pain
• Pain lifting overhead
• Pain during gym training or sport
• Shoulder pain at night or sleeping
• Weakness or instability
• Recurring tendon pain or flare-ups
• Difficulty returning to activity after injury

Early physiotherapy assessment often helps prevent ongoing compensation patterns and prolonged recovery.

• Experienced physiotherapists with a strong background in sports and injury rehab
• Evidence-based, individualised treatment plans
• Focus on both recovery and long-term prevention
