Comprehensive Therapy Tailored to Your Needs and Goals
Welcome to Premier Performance and PT, where we specialize in providing comprehensive physical therapy services for shoulder instability and dislocation. In this guide, you'll learn about these conditions, their symptoms, causes, and how our team can help you regain shoulder stability and function.
Understanding Shoulder Instability/Disclocation
Shoulder instability occurs when the structures that surround the shoulder joint (ligaments, tendons, and muscles) are unable to maintain the joint in its normal position. This can lead to frequent dislocations or a sensation that the shoulder is "slipping out of place." Symptoms can include:
Recurrent shoulder dislocations
Pain or discomfort, especially with overhead movements
Feeling of shoulder "giving way"
Instability during certain activities
Our Services
-
The first step in our treatment process is a thorough assessment and diagnosis. Our experienced therapists will evaluate your shoulder joint's stability, range of motion, strength, and any specific functional limitations.
-
Targeted exercises to strengthen the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint, including the rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers. Strengthening these muscles improves joint stability and helps prevent future dislocations.
-
Our rehabilitation program focuses on functional training to prepare you for daily activities and sports-specific demands. This includes sport specific training and dynamic stability exercises
-
Our ultimate goal is to help you regain full shoulder function and safely return to your desired activities. We will guide you through a gradual return-to-sport or work protocol, emphasizing proper technique and injury prevention strategies.
