Labral Tears

Physiotherapy for Labral Tears in Bridgend, Cardiff, Carmarthen, Newport, and Porthcawl

A labral tear is an injury to the cartilage that lines the rim of ball-and-socket joints, such as the shoulder or hip. The labrum provides stability and cushioning, and when torn, it can cause pain, clicking, or joint instability. Labral tears often result from trauma, repetitive movements, or structural abnormalities. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in reducing pain, restoring strength, and improving joint stability, whether managing the condition conservatively or recovering from surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can physiotherapy heal a labral tear?

Physiotherapy cannot "heal" a labral tear but can manage symptoms, improve joint function, and reduce the need for surgical intervention in some cases.

When is surgery needed for a labral tear?

Surgery may be needed if conservative treatments, including physiotherapy, fail to alleviate symptoms or if the tear causes significant instability or pain.

What activities should I avoid with a labral tear?

Avoid high-impact activities, repetitive joint movements, and heavy lifting until your physiotherapist provides guidance for safe activities.

How long does recovery take for a labral tear?

Recovery times vary, but with physiotherapy, many people see improvements within 4–12 weeks. Post-surgical recovery may take several months.
