Physical Therapists NYC

Shoulder pain can come and go or be consistent and chronic, it can range from mildly annoying to debilitating, and the causes are vast. Shoulder physical therapy can often give you relief and may even prevent future injuries. Some people find that PT for shoulder pain immediately relieves their symptoms while others discover that a regular exercise routine is necessary to give them the strength and mobility they need.

Exercises To Relief Shoulder Pain

The entire goal behind physical therapy is to improve your daily quality of life by decreasing pain or discomfort while simultaneously increasing your strength and mobility. Because shoulder mobility and comfort are so important in daily activities, from getting dressed to sleeping comfortably, seeking physical therapy care and getting customized shoulder exercises is a first-step solution.

Each patient is an individual and we place great emphasis on treating you for your specific injuries, illnesses, and pain symptoms. Your shoulder exercises will be customized and personalized to suit your therapy goals and it will be adjustable to take progress and setbacks into consideration.

Physical Therapy for Shoulder Pain and Injury Relief

Your shoulder is the most movable joint in your body. It consists of a group of four muscles and their tendons working together so you can reach up high, down low, across and make small gestures, too. Any swelling, damage, or structural changes around the rotator cuff can give you shoulder pain and/or can limit your ability to move.

For an accurate diagnosis and a customized shoulder therapy plan that will put you on the path to recovery, put your trust in our award-winning physical therapists and we’ll customize a treatment plan that will work specifically for you.

You’ll experience hands-on care, so you know you’re performing your therapy in the best way with proper technique. This will ensure that your recovery is headed in the right direction.

Frozen Shoulder Treatment

While there are many different causes of shoulder pain and different shoulder injuries, one of the most common shoulder issues we see is frozen shoulder. Also known as adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder happens when the natural capsule of connective tissue that surrounds your shoulder thickens and tightens, restricting your movement.

Imagine a rubber band wrapped around the stems on a bouquet of roses. Slid onto the stems, the rubber band lets them move all over, loop it around a second time and the stems are more restricted. The more you loop around the rubber band, the tighter it becomes and the less movement the roses have.

Treatment for frozen shoulder involves exercises that help loosen the tightness and stretch the joint capsule. It is possible to recover completely with skilled frozen shoulder therapy, especially if it’s caught in the early stages of pain and restricted movement. Luckily, this is typically not a recurring condition and once you’ve undergone successful frozen shoulder treatment and are feeling no pain and comfort with movement, you can confidently resume your regular activities.

Can PT Help Shoulder Impingement?

Another common shoulder condition that can benefit greatly from physical therapy is shoulder impingement syndrome, otherwise known as swimmer’s shoulder – and no, you don’t have to be a swimmer to develop this syndrome. It’s estimated that somewhere around 50% of all shoulder pain complaints are impingement related. People who participate in sports that require overhead rotation (swimming, volleyball, tennis, etc.) are most susceptible, but professions such as window washing, painting and other jobs with repetitive overhead motions can cause this type of injury, too.

Shoulder impingement happens when the top of your shoulder blade rubs on and/or pinches your rotator cuff. Your rotator cuff can swell when it’s injured or irritated, this pushes on the bones that surround it and cause them to rub together, which can lead to further injury, pain, and limitation. To be thorough, your doctor or physical therapist may perform x-rays to rule out arthritis and look for bone spurs, while MRIs might be used to uncover any tears or inflammation. If you do have arthritis, physical therapy for arthritis can be used as an effective and recommended method to relieve the pain.
