Hang on...Your shoulders could use a tune-up!
It sounds like your shoulders have the potential to have some problems or you may be experiencing some aches and pains already.
Shoulder stiffness and night pain are indicators that your shoulders are struggling. Things like stiffness and pain at night can be indicators of a shoulder that is struggling. As well, shoulder stiffness can limit us in our ability to function well.
As we age the risk of developing rotator cuff problems increases and it’s something you don’t want to ignore over the long term.
I’d definitely suggest getting a thorough evaluation of your shoulders by a licensed physiotherapist to uncover the source of your pain / limited function.
In the meantime, if you’d you like to get in touch to book a shoulder evaluation, don’t hesitate to give me a call at (780) 701-3456.
