Shoulder and arm
Reaching a shelf, washing your hair or carrying a bag all rely on the shoulder. Your therapist looks at how the shoulder, neck and upper back work together, treats what limits you and teaches you exercises you can repeat.
This care is for you if
Reaching overhead or behind you is hard
Sleeping on one side is uncomfortable
You are recovering from a fall or a shoulder operation
Gripping and carrying feel weak
What a visit looks like
What we do
Your therapist examines your shoulder, neck and upper back, treats with their hands where it helps and sets exercises with bands.
At home or at a hub
At home we use what you reach for every day. At a hub we add pulleys and heavier weights when you are ready.
What decides how many visits
What your therapist finds and how you respond. They talk it through with you.
- Chest pain, trouble breathing, a sudden severe headache or pain, new weakness or numbness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or a fall with a head injury needs emergency care now. Call 911.
Questions about this care
Do you treat after a rotator cuff operation?
Yes, within your surgeon's instructions. We send your surgeon's office a note with your permission.
Should I see a doctor first?
Tell us about a fall, a sudden loss of strength or pain with chest pressure. Those need a doctor first, or 911.
