Physical therapy for rotator cuff, frozen shoulder, and shoulder injuries in Burlington, NC
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, which is exactly why it is so easy to injure. Reaching overhead, sleeping on your side, throwing, swinging a golf club, or simply putting on a jacket can all become painful. We look at the whole picture — shoulder blade control, thoracic mobility, rotator cuff strength, and how you use your arm — to get you back to full, pain-free motion.
Common conditions we treat
- Rotator cuff strains, tendinopathy, and partial tears
- Shoulder impingement and bursitis
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Shoulder instability and labral injuries
- Post-surgical rehabilitation (rotator cuff repair, labral repair, shoulder replacement)
- Overhead athlete and golf-related shoulder pain
How we help
- A thorough one-hour evaluation to find the true source of your pain — not just where it hurts
- Hands-on manual therapy, dry needling, cupping, and soft-tissue work to reduce pain and restore motion
- Individualized strength and mobility programming you can do at home or in the gym (delivered through the Physitrack app)
- Education on posture, movement habits, and activity modification so you stay better once you are better
- Clear return-to-sport, return-to-work, and return-to-golf progressions
What to expect
We start with a one-hour evaluation of your shoulder, shoulder blade, neck, and upper back, then begin hands-on treatment right away. You will leave with a personalized program and a realistic timeline. If your goal is to get back to lifting, throwing, or the golf course, we build the plan around that goal from day one.
