Shoulder Physical Therapy

The most flexible joint in the entire human body is the shoulder. The shoulder's range of motion is what allows it to have the freedom to move in almost any direction. With this ability, it is very important for the shoulder joint to have complete functionality, especially in sporting events.

Pitching nine innings in a baseball game or constantly throwing a football in a football game may sometimes cause injury to the shoulder joint or rotator cuff.

Shoulder injuries are most common with younger people or very active athletes. As an individual ages, shoulder pain may develop from the wear and tear of daily activities. Individuals who use their shoulders frequently in the workplace may also suffer from a shoulder injury.

Early treatment of the shoulder with physical therapy is key to a successful rehabilitation, but this is dependent upon the cause of the injury. Medical advice should be sought before beginning any type of treatment, as you may further damage the shoulder.

Through shoulder physical therapy, shoulder strength and mobility may be restored. Whether you've just had surgery or suffered an injury to your shoulder, physical therapy will give you the exercises, stretches and mobility techniques necessary to address your specific problem.
