What is Shoulder Rehabilitation

The shoulder is made up of several joints, combined with muscles and tendons. The shoulder is very mobile and allows for a wide range of motion. We use our shoulders for so many daily tasks like showering, getting dressed, eating, and even writing. When our shoulder is injured or damaged it can be quite frustrating and debilitating.

There are many reasons one could experience pain and immobility of the shoulder. Some common causes are fracture, tendon inflammation or tear, and arthritis. Shoulder instability is another type of shoulder injury when the head of the upper arm bone is forced out of the shoulder socket. In the case of a serious injury causing severe pain, medical treatment should be sought right away. Your doctor will be able to provide a comprehensive physical examination and pinpoint the cause of your shoulder pain and recommend the best course of treatment.

Surgery may be required to resolve some shoulder injuries, however, a physical therapist can help you heal and regain mobility and strength without surgery. Some common shoulder rehabilitation techniques include manual therapy, targeted exercises, laser therapy, and ultrasound technology. Your therapist will put together a treatment plan based on your specific symptoms and needs. Getting proper care early on can ease your recovery and lessen the risk of reinjury.

Reddy Care Physical and Occupational Therapy have an excellent team of physical therapists. They are trained on a wide range of shoulder rehabilitation treatments to promote a healthy recovery.
