Typical Symptoms:
Common Causes:
We focus on restoring proper shoulder mechanics through scapular stabilization, rotator cuff strengthening, and manual therapy to improve joint space and reduce impingement on tendons. At Be On The Move, serving the communities of Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Wellington, and Lake Worth, we frequently treat swimmers, tennis players, and painters who experience persistent shoulder pain. Early interventions may include manual mobilizations to free up the subacromial space and reduce tendon irritation. Next, we emphasize exercises targeting scapular retractors and the rotator cuff muscles, improving how the shoulder blade moves during arm elevation. By refining overhead mechanics, we help you reach, lift, and swing without the nagging pinch that once held you back.

Key Benefits:
Many impingement cases improve within 2–3 months if caught early. More advanced or calcific issues may take longer or require surgical intervention. Throughout therapy, we’ll monitor your overhead range of motion, pain levels, and muscle strength. As these factors improve, we gradually reintroduce overhead tasks—like throwing a ball or placing objects on a high shelf—to ensure your progress translates into everyday function.
What if I have a small rotator cuff tear?
Physical therapy can still be very effective in strengthening the surrounding muscles and stabilizing the shoulder.
Will I need an MRI?
If symptoms persist or we suspect a significant tear, imaging can provide clarity. But many cases resolve with conservative care.
Is your pain keeping you from fully enjoying your day?
Do you wish it would just disappear, but it continues to trouble you?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, we understand how frustrating and overwhelming persistent pain can be. That’s why we’re here to help. Our caring team of physical therapists will listen to your concerns, create a custom treatment plan just for you, and work by your side every step of the way—so you can get back to living life on your terms.
