Physical Therapy after Shoulder Surgery

Physical therapy is used and recommended in many health practices to help treat mild or chronic pain, mobility, and impairments resulting from injury or illness. Physical therapy treatments used to treat orthopedic injuries and conditions vary. Shoulder replacement surgery is done to relieve the pain and other symptoms that result from damage to the shoulder joint. 

Shoulder surgery causes damaged tissues due to incisions of other soft tissues, so physical therapy in downtown Brooklyn will be necessary and recommended to regain function in that area. If you have recently had shoulder surgery, physical therapy can help you maximize the results of your operation and get your shoulder working again.

• Rotator cuff tears– Popping or clicking sounds or sensations when moving your arm
• Bursitis– Small fluid-filled sacs become inflamed 
• Frozen shoulder– connective tissue enclosing the joint thickens and tightens
• Impingement- intrusion caused by constant rubbing or pressure on the tendon
• Shoulder dislocation- upper arm bone pops out of the shoulder blade socket.
• AC joint dislocation- shoulder separation/ tear caused by a blow or fall on the shoulder joint.
