If you’ve been struggling with shoulder pain that makes lifting, reaching, or even sleeping uncomfortable, you’re not alone. Shoulder pain — especially from rotator cuff irritation or tears — is one of the most common issues we see in our clinic.

The rotator cuff is a group of four small muscles that keep your shoulder stable and help you move your arm smoothly. Overuse, poor posture, or even a single awkward lift can cause inflammation or small tears that make daily movements painful.

Common Signs of Rotator Cuff Problems:

Pain when lifting or reaching overhead

Weakness or stiffness in the shoulder

Difficulty sleeping on the painful side

Clicking or catching when you move your arm

The good news:

You don’t have to live with shoulder pain.

At our clinic, our physical therapists specialize in helping patients rebuild shoulder strength, improve mobility, and eliminate pain — without injections or surgery.

We’ll create a personalized plan that may include:

💪 Gentle mobility and strengthening exercises

🧠 Postural retraining and ergonomic tips

⚙️ Hands-on therapy to reduce stiffness and inflammation

🎯 Education to prevent future injury
