Neck and Shoulder Pain
Neck and shoulder pain are common causes of headaches, stiffness, and difficulty lifting or reaching. Whether your symptoms stem from poor posture, rotator cuff irritation, arthritis, or nerve-related issues, physical therapy can address the root cause of the problem. Through hands-on care, strengthening exercises, and movement correction, we help relieve pain while improving long-term function and preventing recurrence.
Our goal is to help you move confidently, reduce pain naturally, and return to the activities you enjoy.
