You shouldn’t have to deal with the pain or limited movement caused by shoulder tendinitis. Physical therapy treatment can help you recover from this condition more quickly. REPAIR SI offers several treatments for shoulder tendinitis. You can work with one of our licensed physical therapists to increase mobility, build strength and reduce pain.
Explore treatment options with a physical therapist
To get started, you can arrange for an intake appointment. A physical therapist will assess your shoulder, talk about your injury with you and offer options for a quicker recovery. Your options might include:
-
Mobilization therapy
Mobilization therapy is a gentle, controlled way to regain flexibility in your shoulder before it may loosen on its own. Your physical therapist can use stretches to move your shoulder through a greater range of motion.
-
Targeted exercises
Standard physical therapy often features strength-building exercises to treat imbalances, support the shoulder joint and prevent injury recurrence. Your therapist can create a routine of exercises to rehabilitate your shoulder.
-
The Graston Technique®
In this physical therapy technique, a trained professional uses stainless steel tools in massage-like action to treat soft tissue tension. The Graston Technique can be used to treat a condition like rotator cuff tendinitis and help you regain shoulder mobility more quickly.
-
McKenzie Method®
This method of physical therapy takes a close look at joint posture. It centers the postural and muscular issues that can lead to joint pain and other symptoms. You can participate to learn specialized exercises.
