Shoulder Injury Rehab

When you experience a shoulder injury, it’s very important to rehab the muscles through physical therapy. You don’t realize how much movement your shoulders are responsible for until you lose any range of motion. That’s why it’s so important to start physical therapy right away after a shoulder injury. The sooner you begin rehab, the sooner you’ll be able to gain a normal range of motion and movement in your shoulder. Here are just some ways Activity First PT can help you in your recovery process.

Set The Right Pace

Shortly after the initial shoulder injury, you may experience a lot of pain. Our team will help plan a timeline for your rehab based on your pain. You’ll never be forced to do exercises or activities that cause any unnecessary discomfort. There’s no set timeline – every injury is unique, and the healing process will depend on many different factors. It’s essential to follow the advice of your doctors and therapists, so you don’t push your shoulder too far too quickly.

Proper Exercises for Regaining Strength

As your shoulder is healing, it will not be at full strength or have its entire range of motion. The goal of shoulder injury rehab is to help you rebuild that strength and range of motion as you heal. Our team will work with you at a progressive pace during each session. Since exercising a healing injury can sometimes be painful, we’ll also use techniques and methods to deal with pain. You may also be given exercises to do at home. It’s important to follow your therapist’s instructions to get the most out of your shoulder injury rehab.

Don’t rely on your shoulder injury to heal itself. Make sure to make an appointment with the professionals at Activity First PT. Your injury may only need a few sessions, but those sessions could be the difference between feeling your best or experiencing years of pain. Contact us today if you have any questions!
