Where is My Shoulder Pain Coming From?
Pain in your shoulders can result from muscle strains, joint problems, underlying health issues, or even be the result of pain spreading from other areas of your body. Shoulder pain can sometimes increase with age and other factors such as your occupation, lifestyle, and level of physical activity.
Physical therapy can be instrumental in the management of shoulder pain by addressing the underlying causes and promoting optimal function. We offer a wide range of treatments to help alleviate shoulder pain and improve your overall well-being.

What & How We Treat
Diagnosis and Assessment
Our therapists will perform a complete evaluation to find the exact causes of your shoulder pain. This may include factors such as joint mechanics, range of motion, and muscle imbalances.
Range of Motion Exercises
We develop customized exercises designed to improve flexibility – as well as enhancing range of motion in the shoulder joint, creating better mobility and relieving stiffness.
Strengthening Exercises
Our therapists prescribe exercises to strengthen the muscles around your shoulder (including the scapular stabilizers and rotator cuff). This will help reduce strain, increase stability, and prevent injuries in the future.
Posture Correction
Our physical therapists will provide you with guidance on proper shoulder and neck posture. This is a critical factor in preventing and relieving shoulder pain that’s associated with poor alignment.
Joint Mobilization and Manipulation
We utilize hands-on techniques focused on reducing pain, improving joint mobilization, and restoring normal shoulder joint function. In addition, we use trigger point therapy, soft tissue mobilization, and massage to relieve muscle tension and improve overall tissue health.
Education
Our physical therapists will help you understand and improve your shoulder condition by teaching you about contributing factors, self-management strategies, and preventative measures.
Cuff and Scapular Stabilization Exercises
We provide specific exercises that target scapular stabilizers and rotator cuff muscles. This helps to promote better shoulder mechanics and reduces the risk of impingement.
