Pain while lying on your side/difficulty sleeping

Pain with general use of your arms/shoulders
Painful clicking in the shoulders

How do rotator cuff injuries typically occur?

Rotator cuff injuries typically occur as you age and with general use. Engaging in sports or other activities where you’re prone to falling often may also exacerbate these injuries. This is especially the case if you fall and land on your shoulder or attempt to catch yourself from falling. Poor posture can also cause rotator cuff injuries by putting extra strain on the muscles and tendons that make up the rotator cuff. This extra strain can cause those muscles and tendons to become overworked, stressed, and eventually lead to injury.

Mary Wong Colebrook is an absolute delight. From the first time I met with her for vestibular therapy, she demonstrated her expertise in the field. She was able to resolve my vertigo in the initial session. As it is a recurring ear crystal issue, she's has told me not to suffer with it and she will make ever effort to squeeze me in as soon as possible. She is a wonderful therapist and person!read more

I booked Ian to deal with my knee and found Ian to be very knowledgeable and good at explaining to me the issues related to my injury and recommendations for recovery. I'd definitely recommend Ian for any sport related injury.read more

Mary Wong Colebrook is an amazing physiotherapist. She is friendly, enthusiastic and encouraging. I have had 3 treatments for a painful foot condition and I can't believe the benefits. Mary quickly identified the root issue offering exercises to do to address it while treating the pain and tension in my body during our sessions. I am so glad I found her, she was recommended to me by a friend who also had great success through her treatments. Thank you Mary!read more

Matt Rose has helped me bounce back from a shoulder injury, back issues, and most recently bicep tendonitis. Basically he’s the reason I’m still held together like a functioning human. As an accomplished athlete himself, he gives spot-on recovery advice and even explains what not to do during the sports I insist on playing anyway.Also, I’m fairly certain he has the grip strength of a gorilla. Possibly two gorillas. 😆Highly recommend!read more

I’ve struggled with back pain ever since having kids, and nothing seemed to give lasting relief. After seeing Matt Rose for IMS, my back pain has essentially disappeared and I’ve been virtually pain free for over a year now. I wish I’d gone to see him years earlier.read more
