Angela M. Fearon is a Physiatrist who works in Bruce, ACT, at University Drive. If you’re dealing with ongoing pain, stiffness, or trouble moving like you used to, Angela helps people work out what’s going on and what can be done next.
Physiatry is all about helping the body move better and feel more comfortable. That can mean looking at joints, soft tissue, and how your day-to-day activities are affecting your symptoms. In many cases, the goal is not just short-term relief, but a clear plan that makes everyday life easier.
Angela supports patients with common musculoskeletal problems such as bursitis, frozen shoulder, and tendinitis. These can make simple things hard, like reaching above your head, lifting a bag, getting dressed, or getting comfortable at night. At times, pain can also flare up suddenly, so care can include help for acute pain episodes too.
Everyone’s situation is a bit different. Some people come in because the pain has been hanging around for weeks or months. Others are dealing with a new flare-up after a change in work, exercise, or even just sleeping the wrong way. Angela focuses on understanding your pain and then guiding you toward the next steps that fit your situation.
It helps when treatment is practical and grounded. Angela’s approach is calm and down-to-earth. She works to explain what might be driving the symptoms in plain language, and then helps you choose options that make sense for you. That might include advice on movement, ways to manage discomfort, and strategies to support recovery while you build back strength and range of motion.
If you’ve tried to push through and things keep not improving, that’s a good reason to get checked. With the right support, many people find they can settle the pain and get back to doing what they need and enjoy. Angela looks after people in the Bruce area and nearby parts of Canberra, especially when issues are affecting shoulders and other areas of day-to-day movement.
For appointments, the practice is based on University Drive in Bruce, ACT.
