The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body and so can commonly be affected by a number of painful conditions. These conditions are usually not serious, and can often improve in a relatively short time with simple management techniques.

The getUbetter app is a really useful tool, designed to help you manage your shoulder pain, and guide your recovery day-by-day. It offers you a symptom checker, management advice as well as video exercises. It also advises you when you may need to seek further help, and connects you to your local health service.
