HOW ASSESSMENT WORKS
Understanding the cause before we treat
At Bluebell Wellness, we take a thorough and structured diagnostic approach to identify the specific source of your shoulder pain and design the safest, most effective recovery plan.

We ask about when your shoulder pain started, what movements aggravate it, your daily work setup, and any previous injuries or sports habits.
STEP 02
Physical examination
Posture, movement, orthopaedic & neurological tests to evaluate your shoulder range of motion, rotator cuff strength, and joint stability.
STEP 03
Findings explained
How we explain what's going on in clear, straightforward language so you fully understand your condition and treatment options.
STEP 04
Your care plan
Agreeing goals & next steps; onward referral if needed to give you a clear roadmap toward restoring full shoulder function.
