Physical Therapy for Rotator Cuff Tears
Premier Therapy Tailored to Your Needs
Welcome to Premier Performance and PT, where we specialize in providing top-notch physical therapy for rotator cuff tears. Our dedicated team of professionals is committed to helping you regain mobility, strength, and comfort in your shoulder through personalized treatment plans.
Understanding Rotator Cuff Tears
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendons that surround the shoulder joint, providing stability and facilitating a wide range of motion in the shoulder. These muscles include the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. A rotator cuff tear occurs when one or more of these tendons are partially or completely torn, disrupting the integrity of the shoulder's structure and function. Symptoms can include:
Persistent Shoulder Pain: Patients often experience a dull ache in the shoulder, especially when performing activities that involve lifting or reaching overhead.
Weakness: Weakness in the shoulder may manifest as difficulty lifting objects, weakness when trying to rotate the arm, or a feeling of instability in the shoulder joint.
Limited Range of Motion: Rotator cuff tears can lead to stiffness and decreased flexibility in the shoulder joint, making it challenging to perform everyday tasks or participate in recreational activities.
Discomfort at Rest: Some individuals may experience discomfort or pain even at rest, particularly when lying on the affected shoulder or during sleep.

What Makes Us Different?
No Generic Treatment Plans
Unlike other clinics that may offer standard protocols, we meticulously assess each patient's unique biomechanics, functional limitations, and lifestyle factors to tailor a personalized treatment plan.
Your treatment plan will adapt and change as your symptoms progress to ensure a quicker recovery.
We Find the Root Cause of Your Symptoms
Unlike one-size-fits-all approaches, we understand the nuanced nature of rotator cuff injuries and the diverse needs of each patient.
Our team of specialized physical therapists conducts thorough evaluations to assess the extent of the tear, as well as any contributing factors such as muscle imbalances, joint instability, or previous injury history.
From there, we develop personalized treatment plans that prioritize pain relief, restoration of strength, and functional improvement. Our rehabilitation protocols encompass a blend of manual therapy techniques, targeted exercises, and progressive loading strategies tailored to the individual's specific needs and goals.
We integrate cutting-edge modalities such as blood flow restriction therapy and eccentric training to optimize tissue healing and enhance muscle strength.

“Premier Performance Physical Therapy is what you need if you are trying to get back to your lifestyle as quickly and effortlessly as possible. Dr. Frye helped me more than any other PT after my surgery. Before seeing Dr. Frye, I had barely any range of motion with my shoulder, but he immediately gave me drastic results. If you want a PT that makes you feel comfortable and strong, then go to Premier. Thank you!” -Micah P.
“Dr. Frye is a mastermind when it comes to rehabilitation and functional movements in order to get you back in the game! In only a few short weeks, I went from barely moving my arm to nearly complete range of motion. Dr. Frye is by far the best sports physical therapist in the area. He’s also very flexible and accommodating of your schedule. I would 100% recommend him. Thank you Dr. Frye!!!” -Joel S.
