What We Treat
Diagnosis and Assessment
We conduct a thorough evaluation to identify the specific causes of your shoulder pain, considering factors like muscle imbalances, joint mechanics, and range of motion.
Range of Motion Exercises
Customized exercises are prescribed to improve flexibility and enhance the range of motion in the shoulder joint, addressing stiffness, and promoting better mobility.
Strengthening Exercises
Targeted exercises are designed to strengthen the muscles around the shoulder, including the rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers. This helps improve stability, reduce strain, and prevent further injuries.
Posture Correction
We provide guidance on maintaining proper shoulder and neck posture, which is crucial in preventing and alleviating shoulder pain associated with poor alignment.
Joint Mobilization and Manipulation
Hands-on techniques are used to improve joint mobility, reduce pain and restore normal shoulder joint function. Soft tissue mobilization, massage and trigger point therapy are used to release tension in muscles and improve overall tissue health.
Education
We provide you with education about your shoulder condition to help you learn about contributing factors, preventive measures, and self-management strategies.
Cuff and Scapular Stabilization Exercises
Specific exercises are prescribed to target the rotator cuff muscles and scapular stabilizers, promoting better shoulder mechanics, and reducing the risk of impingement.
