Typical Symptoms:
Common Causes:
We target the underlying issue—whether it's a rotator cuff, labral tear, or arthritic changes. Exercises for scapular and rotator cuff stability, along with manual mobilizations, can restore function and reduce pain. At our Palm Beach County clinics—serving Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, Wellington, and Boca Raton—we see a wide range of shoulder complaints. Early sessions may concentrate on pain management and improving scapular motion via manual therapy. As mobility increases, we integrate strengthening drills that specifically address your weak links, whether that’s the rotator cuff, deltoids, or upper back stabilizers. By incorporating functional movements—like reaching overhead or lifting objects—we ensure your shoulder pain relief extends into real-life tasks.

Key Benefits:
Recovery depends on the specific pathology. Many see improvement in 4–8 weeks with consistent therapy. Post-surgical cases may take longer. Our team tracks pain levels, range of motion, and functional abilities (like carrying groceries or throwing a ball) to gauge progress. Once you’re pain-free and demonstrate adequate muscle balance, we’ll guide you through a maintenance program to prevent future shoulder flare-ups.
Will I need an MRI for shoulder pain?
If you’re not improving with conservative treatment or we suspect a significant tear, imaging may be recommended.
Is overhead lifting safe?
We gradually reintroduce overhead movements once pain subsides and rotator cuff strength is sufficient.
Is your pain keeping you from fully enjoying your day?
Do you wish it would just disappear, but it continues to trouble you?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, we understand how frustrating and overwhelming persistent pain can be. That’s why we’re here to help. Our caring team of physical therapists will listen to your concerns, create a custom treatment plan just for you, and work by your side every step of the way—so you can get back to living life on your terms.
