Exercises to Help Clients with Shoulder Bursitis

Shoulder bursitis is a condition characterised by inflammation of the bursa—a fluid-filled sac that helps reduce friction between bones, tendons, and muscles around the shoulder joint. When this sac becomes irritated, it can cause pain, stiffness, and limited mobility, often making everyday activities challenging.
