SLAP tear

Do not wait for an appointment

  • The muscle over the back of the shoulder blade looks thinner, or the shoulder becomes weak — come back to see us

What you can do

  • Reduce painful overhead activity for now
  • Do the shoulder-blade and rotator-cuff rehabilitation programme
  • Return to throwing or overhead sport gradually after strength and control recover

Open the exercise sheet

Pictures, how many and how often, and what it should feel like. Free, and printable.

Guides for you

In your language, free to download. Each one is a short PDF you can keep on your phone or print.

On cost: if we suggest a scan, an injection or an operation, ask us what it costs and what happens if you do nothing. We will answer both. You should never feel pushed into spending money.

For anything you are unsure about, ask at the desk or on WhatsApp before it is done — we will tell you the exact cost.

Should you come and see us?

A page is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If the pain is not settling, come in and have it looked at properly — bring any X-ray, MRI or CT films you already have.
