Understanding Shoulder Labrum Tears
A shoulder labrum tear is a prevalent injury that affects the cartilage surrounding the socket of the shoulder joint, known as the labrum. The labrum serves as a cushion and stabilizing structure, providing support to the ball-and-socket joint of the shoulder. It helps to deepen the socket, allowing the ball-shaped end of the upper arm bone (humerus) to fit securely within the joint and facilitating smooth movement. Symptoms of a labrum tear can include:
Persistent shoulder pain, especially during certain movements or activities
Clicking, popping, or grinding sensations in the shoulder joint
Weakness in the shoulder, particularly when lifting or carrying objects
Decreased range of motion, especially when reaching overhead or behind the back
A feeling of instability or looseness in the shoulder

Patient Reviews

“Dr. Frye is amazing! My daughter was told she would need surgery for a torn labrum. Based on a recommendation from a high-level athlete and their family, we went to see Dr. Frye. Not only did my daughter not need surgery, but she is stronger than ever! I highly recommend Premier Performance and PT. Can’t thank them enough!” -Jay E.
“My daughter is a very competitive athlete and although she understands rest and recovery, she doesn’t want a little irritation to slow her down during prime season. With Dr Frye’s help, she was able to compete without pain. He identified her anterior labrum irritation and did his magic to activate all of the interconnected muscles and had her do band drills to strengthen her shoulder. She had significant improvement in the first session and complete recovery within a few sessions. He also watched her throwing mechanics to make sure she wasn’t causing unnecessary stress on the muscles with poor form. His facility is very clean and his mannerism is personable and professional. Hopefully there are no significant injuries in our future, but if we ever need physical therapy or even just a “tune-up” of some muscles, we will definitely choose Dr Frye.” -Susan W.
