Shoulder pain
Rotator cuffs, unstable shoulders and the ache that wakes you at night — one therapist, hands on, start to finish.
Shoulder pain gets into everything. It rarely arrives the same way twice.
Night pain
You can’t lie on that side anymore — the ache wakes you up and follows you into the day.
Reaching overhead
A sharp catch when you reach for a shelf, throw, swim or press overhead.
Behind the back
Tucking in a shirt, fastening a bra, reaching your back pocket — the arm won’t go there.
Clicks, pops and clunks
A shoulder that’s dislocated before, or feels loose and untrustworthy when you load it.
Surgery ahead — or behind you
A rotator cuff repair or labrum surgery on the calendar, or rehab that stalled after one.
A scary MRI report
Words like tear, impingement or bursitis, and nobody has told you what they actually mean for you.
If one of these is yours, you're in the right place. If your case is different, tell us — we'll say honestly whether we're the right fit.
Find what's driving it. Treat it. Load it so it holds.
An assessment, not a template
We find what sets your shoulder off — reaching, lifting, throwing, sleeping — and test how your shoulder, shoulder blade and upper back actually move under load. Imaging is context; the exam is the driver.
Treatment that works
Manual therapy to calm the shoulder and restore how it moves — paired with progressive pressing, pulling and overhead work so the change holds under real load.
Education and support
You leave knowing what's driving your shoulder pain, what the words on your MRI actually mean, and what to do next — a home program that comes to you, not a photocopied sheet.
We measure where measuring helps. Force plates, dynamometry and gait analysis mean the decision to progress you — or hold you back — comes from a number rather than an impression.
How we measure →The therapists who treat shoulder pain.
“He didn't just treat my injury, he helped me rebuild my confidence and my strength when I honestly thought I'd never get back to normal.”
Individual one-on-one support. She listens to my progress and adjusts my plan accordingly.
Sooooo grateful I found them.
What each visit will cost you — copay, deductible, out-of-network or self-pay.
A written estimate if you're paying out of pocket — per visit and for the likely course of care.
Whether your HSA, FSA or HRA dollars apply — confirmed before you book.
From the blog
Do I need an MRI or a referral first?
No to both. California is a direct-access state, and the exam — not imaging — drives treatment. If you already have an MRI report, bring it and we’ll tell you what the words actually mean for you.
How many visits does shoulder pain take?
Most plans of care run 6 to 12 visits — weekly at first, spaced out as you improve. You’ll have an estimate for your shoulder at the end of your first visit.
I’m having shoulder surgery. When should I start?
Your surgeon’s protocol sets the timing — send it to us, or give us the surgeon’s name, and we’ll work from it. If surgery hasn’t happened yet, ask whether coming in beforehand is worth it in your case.
