Shoulder

Shoulder pain is something most people will experience at some point in their lifetime.  Due to the amount of range of motion of the shoulder joint, we must have adequate strength to control our arm and shoulder through that range. Often times, faulty posture and poor strength result in repetitive trauma to our shoulders. Over time, this leads to trauma of rotator cuff muscles and inflammation of the shoulder.  High velocity sports and overhead athletes are also particularly susceptible to injuries of the shoulder due to lack of proper stability.

High Desert Physical Therapy utilizes a sound protocol for shoulder injuries to allow for full return to activities without pain or limitation.
