Reclaiming Your Reach: Expert Care for Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can be incredibly disruptive, turning simple daily tasks—like reaching for a shelf, dressing, or sleeping—into painful challenges. At Agape Physical Therapy, we understand that you are more than just a diagnosis. With 7 locations throughout the Greater Rochester area, our team of Doctors of Physical Therapy is dedicated to helping you return to the activities you love.
Understanding Common Shoulder Conditions
Many patients come to us after being told they have "shoulder impingement," but it is important to know that this is often a broad term. Our first step is finding the why behind your pain through a thorough evaluation.
- Impingement and Tendinopathy: Often caused by subacromial pain, we look at the location, involved structures, and underlying causes to build a specific treatment plan rather than using a one-size-fits-all protocol.
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): This condition involves severe stiffness and loss of range of motion. We focus on gentle, skilled therapy to restore movement while managing pain levels.
- Overuse Injuries: Whether from home projects or athletic pursuits, repetitive stress can lead to strains and pain. We address these through strength building and movement correction.
Specialized Post-Operative Rehabilitation
If surgery was necessary, the right rehabilitation is critical for a successful outcome. We work with patients recovering from:
- Rotator Cuff Repairs: We follow specific surgeon protocols while gradually applying load based on tissue healing times.
- Shoulder Replacements (TSA and rTSA): Whether you have a traditional or reverse shoulder replacement, our physical therapy programs are designed to restore strength and functional movement patterns.
