Shoulder

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

• Adhesive capsulitis is the stiffening of the shoulder due to scar tissue, which results in loss of motion and painful movement.

Rotator Cuff Tendonitis & Bursitis

• Tendinitis is caused by the overuse of the rotator cuff, which causes it to become inflamed.
• Bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that sits between the tendons of the rotator cuff and the shoulder bones.

Rotator Cuff Injuries

• Rotator cuff strains and tears are caused by acute or overuse injury, such as a fall, car accident, sports, or other sudden injury.
• Pre- & Post-Operative Rotator Cuff Repair
• Pre- & Post-Operative Shoulder replacement
• Osteoarthritis

Physical therapy for shoulder pain, injuries, or replacement typically consists of the following goals:

• Strengthen shoulder muscles and surrounding musculature
• Scapular strengthening, as the shoulder blade (scapula) acts as the foundation for shoulder stability
• Restore the mechanics of the shoulder
• Reduce pain and restore range of motion
• Core & back strengthening
• Posture training
