Advanced Manual Therapy for Shoulder Pain

Fascial Counterstrain is a specialized manual therapy technique that addresses chronic tension and restrictions within the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs. This approach is particularly effective for shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries, and post-surgery rehabilitation. Fascial Counterstrain alleviates fascial restrictions by gently repositioning the body, reducing tension, and improving movement without causing additional discomfort. It is a non-invasive method that promotes pain relief and accelerates healing, making it one of the most effective treatments for complex shoulder dysfunction. Our experienced therapists incorporate this technique with other therapies to develop a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Post-Surgery Rehabilitation

Physical therapy is essential for individuals recovering from shoulder surgery, including rotator cuff repairs and frozen shoulder procedures, to restore movement and prevent complications. Post-surgery rehabilitation focuses on enhancing range of motion, strengthening the muscles around the shoulder joint, and minimizing scar tissue and adhesions that may impede movement. Our therapists specialize in post-surgical rehabilitation, ensuring you receive the most effective care to recover fully and confidently return to your daily activities.

At our clinic, we blend manual therapy, strengthening exercises, and stretching techniques to facilitate the recovery process. We focus on improving shoulder flexibility, strength, and stability, which are essential for preventing future injuries. With advanced techniques, we address deep tissue restrictions that may have developed post-surgery, helping to alleviate pain and enhance mobility. This comprehensive approach is essential for ensuring a successful shoulder surgery recovery.
