Shoulder Osteoarthritis. Symptoms, Causes and Effective Exercises for Shoulder Pain Relief

Struggling with shoulder pain, stiffness, or loss of motion? This video breaks down everything you need to know about Shoulder Osteoarthritis (OA)—a degenerative joint condition that affects millions. We cover the anatomy of the shoulder, common clinical symptoms, and the cardinal signs that help distinguish OA from other shoulder disorders. Whether you're a clinician, physiotherapy student, or patient seeking answers, this is your go-to guide.
Learn how to identify key symptoms like decreased range of motion, crepitus, night pain, and functional limitations. We also explain the underlying causes—beyond just wear and tear—including the role of inflammation, metabolic factors, and previous injuries. Our clinical overview is backed by evidence, including a 2023 systematic review linking weather changes to increased OA pain.
Finally, we’ll show you effective, therapeutic exercises for shoulder OA—from isometric internal/external rotations to scapular control and functional rehab drills like wall push-ups and banded rows.
