The complex nature of the shoulder joint can easily cause dysfunction or shoulder injuries.

Instability of the soft tissue or bony structures in your shoulder can cause severe pain and lead to more complicated issues such as a frozen shoulder.

We provide and guide you through many exercises, modalities, and manual techniques to help control your pain. This is all before we even give you the at-home exercises you can do to help speed up the recovery.

Our Pain and Injury Experts trained in shoulder pain can improve mobility and comfort regardless of the condition. They work to ensure every patient can move beyond their shoulder pain and get back to living their life!

(Treatment should be done one on one with your physical therapist or healthcare provider after a thorough evaluation. Always consult your own physical therapist or other health care professional before attempting any new exercise program.)

A.R.T. or Active Release Technique is just one of our treatment methods at Prime Therapy and Pain Center.

Active Release Technique (or A.R.T.) is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with A.R.T. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.

Hip pain is a common complaint that can be caused by a wide variety of problems.

Problems within the hip joint itself tend to result in pain on the inside of your hip or your groin. Hip pain on the outside of your hip, upper thigh or outer buttock is usually caused by problems with muscles, ligaments, tendons and other soft tissues that surround your hip joint.

We will be able to analyze your movement patterns to determine the most likely original cause of the pain and provide treatment.

Static stretching can be an extremely beneficial part of your daily routine and help your mobility. Static stretching is a stretch that is held for up to 15 seconds at the point of getting tight. When you release a stretch after a short break, return to the next session stretching slightly further than you would otherwise have.

The Standing Side Stretch
(A) Stand with your feet together and your arms straight overhead. Clasp your hands together, with your fingers interlaced and pointer fingers extended. Inhale as you reach upward.

(B) Breathe out as you bend your upper body to the right. Take five slow breaths. Slowly return to the center. Repeat on the left side.

The Seated Back Twist
(A) Bend your right knee and step your right foot over your left leg. Put your right hand on the floor, fingers pointing outward, for support. Bend your left elbow and turn to the right, placing the back of your arm against your right knee. Inhale as you sit tall.

(B) Breathe out as you twist, pressing your arm into your leg and looking over your right shoulder. Hold for five breaths, then slowly return to the center. Switch sides.

We Have 3 Exercises and Stretches For You to Relieve Shoulder Pain!

Some of the most effective exercises and stretches to relieve shoulder pain at home are:

Pendulum:
To do the pendulum exercise, start by leaning over and supporting your non-injured arm with a table or chair. Allow the sore arm to dangle straight down and then draw circles in the air. The circles should start out small but gradually grow, and you should also reverse direction periodically. Repeat this exercise 5 to 10 times throughout the day.

Arm across the chest:
To do this stretch, hold your right hand out in front of your body, keeping it near the waist. Then reach the left hand behind the elbow while pulling the right arm to the left and across the chest. Lower the arm until the pain lessens. Hold in this position for 30 to 50 seconds and then release. Repeat this stretch 3 to 5 times.

Neck release:
While sitting up straight, slowly tilt the chin toward the chest until the stretch can be felt in the back of the neck. Then lean your head toward the left to stretch the right shoulder, or conversely lean to the right to stretch the left shoulder. The stretch should be held for a minute on each side. Try breathing deeply to help relax and maximize the stretch.

Quick exercises to strengthen your knees and reduce pain!

1. Wall Squats:
Place your back on a wall. Step forward a couple of feet, keeping your feet hip bone distance apart. Bend at your hips and knees to bring your thighs almost parallel to the floor. Keep your back straight and your knees lined up over, not in front of, your ankles. Squeeze your glutes to straighten back up to your start position. This targets your quads and glutes.

2. Straight Leg Raise:
Lying on your back, keep one knee bent with your foot flat on the floor. Tighten the knee of the straight leg and lift it up to the height of your bent knee. You will feel your quads and hip flexors working! Keep your pelvis still by engaging your abs. Perform 2 sets of 10 reps.

3. Step Ups:
You can start with a 6-inch step and then increase the height using a sturdy box, no higher than the height of your knee. Start with both feet on the box. Keeping your pelvis level, step back with one foot to tap your toe on the floor and then step back up fully straightening the leg on the step. Focus on keeping your knee tracking over your second toe. This is a great exercise for that vastus medialis muscle for patellar stability. Perform 15-20 step-ups, then switch legs.

As many as 4 out of every 10 adults will eventually get sciatica!

The pain can range from a slight inconvenience to full out debilitating pain. Our Pain and Injury specialists always recommend coming in for an appointment right away when experiencing any kind of sciatica pain!

Here are some techniques that can be helpful to offset Sciatica pain.

1) Aerobic exercises such as walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, dancing, and other activities that increase your heart rate without causing more pain if you already have sciatica.

2) Strength training exercises using free weights or weight machines, or isometric exercises, which involve contracting muscles without excessive movement.

3) Flexibility training is very important as well. Training like yoga, tai chi, Pilates, and similar activities that can increase both flexibility and strength.

The Impacts of Bad Posture:

Continuous use of poor posture will catch up over time. You will begin to feel increasing amounts of pain when at rest, or in motion due to stress on joints, spine, and the entire body-support system.

A few bad posture side effects are:

-Lower back pain
-Hip and leg pain
-Shoulder and neck pain
-Headaches
-Acid reflux
-Muscle tingling and weakness, and more

How to Fix Bad Posture:

Fixing poor posture is a matter of staying aware of how you are sitting, standing, and walking on a daily basis. Catching and correcting poor posture behaviors is the ultimate solution.

Stand with your chest outward and shoulders straight. Stretch your spine every time you get up. Use proper pillow support under your head and neck. Another way to improve your posture is to strengthen core muscles and increase your flexibility.

How To Properly Warm Up for a Run:

Warming up your muscles before you use them vigorously during a run or other physical activity significantly reduces the risk of joint and muscle injury. Your body needs to be limber and flexible before doing any intense movement,

Warm up with stretches!
Many people opt for basic dynamic stretches for their pre-running routine. Dynamic stretches keep you moving, helping to warm up your body while lengthening your muscle fibers. Prior to a run, focus on stretches for your quads, glutes, and hamstrings. Don’t forget your arms! Do some shoulder rolls and arm circles.

Starting with a light jog to warm up?
A slow start with your run can prepare your body for larger movements. By mimicking the same movements during your warm up that you plan to use for the main part of your exercise, you will be prepping your muscles with minimal impact. You could also try jumping rope or performing walking lunges.
