Rest & Ice
No Help
Sarah came to us after 6 months of progressively worsening shoulder pain. As an office manager, she spent long hours at her computer, which had led to poor posture and forward head positioning. The pain started as a minor ache but escalated to the point where she couldn’t sleep on her right side.
She had tried over-the-counter pain medications, massage therapy, and even considered cortisone injections. Nothing provided lasting relief, and she was becoming increasingly frustrated and worried about her future.
“I was scared I’d never be able to do yoga again or go hiking with my family,” Sarah recalls. “The pain was affecting every aspect of my life.”
Based on our comprehensive assessment, Sarah fell into our “Postural Impingement” category – a common pattern we see in desk workers.
Our proven 3-phase approach would address the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Dr. Rodriguez used specialized manual therapy techniques to restore normal joint mechanics and reduce inflammation in Sarah’s shoulder.
Wall slides helped Sarah retrain proper shoulder blade movement and improve her posture. This foundational exercise was crucial for her recovery.
