Compassionate Physical Therapy
If your shoulder is in pain — whether it’s sharp, dull or radiating — you’re not alone. Shoulder pain is one of the most common complaints we treat at Case Physical Therapy.
No matter where your shoulder pain is, our expert team offers hands-on, personalized shoulder physical therapy that gets results.
How The Shoulder Works
The shoulder is one of the most complex joints in the body. It’s made up of three bones: the humerus (upper arm bone), scapula (shoulder blade) and clavicle (collarbone). These bones are surrounded by muscles, tendons and ligaments that allow the shoulder to move in all directions. Because of this wide range of motion, the shoulder is also more vulnerable to injury and dysfunction.
Common Causes Of Shoulder Pain
Whether you’re experiencing pain in the front of the shoulder, the back of shoulder or between the shoulder blades, several conditions could be the cause:
- Rotator cuff injuries — Common in active adults and athletes
- Tendinitis or bursitis — Often due to overuse or repetitive motion
- Frozen shoulder — Also known as adhesive capsulitis, often affecting middle-aged women and more common in diabetics
- Shoulder impingement — Causes pain when lifting or reaching
- Arthritis or joint degeneration — More common with age
- Posture-related pain — Especially when pain extends from the neck and shoulder
How Physical Therapy Helps Shoulder Pain
Physical therapy for shoulder pain focuses on reducing inflammation, improving mobility and strengthening the muscles that support the shoulder joint. At Case PT, we use a personalized approach to shoulder treatment, offering multiple kinds of physical therapy that include:
- Manual therapy — Hands-on techniques to release tight tissues and restore movement
- Postural assessment — Especially for patients with neck and shoulder pain or pain between shoulder blades
- Therapeutic exercise — To improve flexibility, build strength and prevent future injury
- Dry needling and soft tissue mobilization — When appropriate, to target chronic tension or trigger points
- Education — Helping patients modify activities, posture or work habits
