Shoulder Physical Therapy

Shoulder Physical Therapy

The shoulder is an intricate structure, providing nearly 360 degrees of movement while stabilizing your arm for various activities, ranging from preparing your morning coffee to pitching at speeds exceeding 100 mph. This is achieved with the combined activity of multiple ligaments and muscles working together like a well-oiled machine. Its strength is also its weakness, because the excess motion it provides, also makes it susceptible to injuries. Free yourself from shoulder pain!

Given the complexity of the shoulder joint structure, it is critical to identify the root cause of the shoulder pain. There are several reasons for shoulder pain, some common ones such as rotator cuff strains or tears, bursitis, shoulder dislocation, shoulder subluxation, bicep strains/tears or frozen shoulder. Hence, an accurate diagnosis is critical to create a personalized and effective treatment plan. See how our clinicians are providing effective PT for shoulder pain relief near you in NYC.
