Shoulder

Shoulder pain and mobility loss can sneak up on you — limiting everything from dressing to lifting a bag. We help restore motion, strength, and stability through one-on-one care that supports healing and long-term shoulder health.

Anatomy and Function

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body — capable of lifting, rotating, and reaching in almost every direction. It’s formed by the humerus, scapula, and clavicle, and stabilized by the rotator cuff muscles, scapular stabilizing muscles, various ligaments, and the joint capsule. Because the shoulder depends on coordination more than bony stability, the shoulder is prone to injury, impingement, and overuse — especially with repetitive overhead or weight-bearing activities.

Common Conditions We Treat

Shoulder issues often result from accidents like falls, overuse, instability, or poor movement patterns. We treat them all. 


Common Shoulder Conditions: 


• Rotator cuff injuries and impingement 

• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) 

• Shoulder instability or dislocation 

• Labral tears 

• Shoulder bursitis or tendonitis 

• Post-operative shoulder rehab

How Physical Therapy Helps

Shoulder rehab focuses on restoring strength, range of motion, and joint stability. We use hands-on therapy, postural retraining, and progressive exercises to relieve impingement, improve mechanics, and support long-term shoulder health. Whether you're recovering from injury, surgery, or chronic strain, we tailor care to your movement needs.

Additional FAQs

Can physical therapy help with shoulder impingement or rotator cuff pain? 

Yes. We treat both conditions with a combination of manual therapy, posture work, and progressive strengthening. 


How long does shoulder rehab take? 

It varies, but many patients notice improvement within a few weeks. More complex cases or surgical recovery may take longer.
