Shoulder pain that wakes you at night or stops you reaching overhead is often the rotator cuff or the tissue around it. We test strength and range of motion in each direction to find which movements hurt and which muscles are not doing their share.
Treatment combines hands-on work with a progressive strengthening program you can do at home with a band. Frozen shoulder takes longer, often several months, and we set the plan to match.
What is included
- Rotator cuff and impingement programs
- Frozen shoulder plans with monthly check-ins
- Home program using one resistance band
- Referral for imaging when strength testing calls for it
Questions about shoulder pain
Do I need an MRI before therapy?
Usually not. If your strength testing suggests a full tear, we send you to a physician for imaging and a surgical opinion.
Can I keep working out?
Usually yes, with changes. We tell you which exercises to keep and which to pause.
How booking shoulder pain works
Movement and strength evaluation
About 45 minutes with a physical therapist who tests how you move, where it hurts and what is weak.
A written plan with a timeline
You leave with the number of visits we expect, a realistic timeline and what each week is working toward.
First treatment the same visit
We start hands-on care and give you your first home exercises before you leave the evaluation.
