Shoulder Pain

The shoulder is the most movable, mobile joint in the human body. Shoulder stability relies on support from muscles, tendons and ligaments. These structures are all susceptible to repetitive stress, arthritis, osteoporosis and traumatic injury.

Regardless of the cause, all shoulder injuries should be treated sooner, not later, by well-trained, experienced physical therapists. Here at Venice Rehab in Venice, Florida, Jeanne Utterback, MS, PT, has spent nearly a decade specializing in the treatment of shoulder injuries. She focuses a good deal of her continuing education time on learning the latest treatment techniques for shoulder pain and injury.

Orthopedic injuries, particularly to the shoulders, are common. Nearly everyone has had a shoulder problem sometime during their lives. That’s why our skilled, experienced physical therapy team creates customized rehab programs that improve your shoulder function and body mechanics while reducing your chances of reinjury. A combination of leading-edge manual treatment and compassionate hands-on care eases pain and speeds recovery from all kinds of shoulder injuries, including:

• Shoulder injuries; rotator cuff/labral tear
• Impingement and instability
• Bursitis/tendonitis
• Sprain, strain and dislocation

We treat shoulder injuries in different ways.

Venice Rehab is committed to giving people the advanced care they need for a quick, safe return to function. Our veteran team of therapists offers evidence-based manual therapy, including myofascial release, joint mobilization and strain/counterstrain treatments.

We also use a variety of modalities such as heat and ice and treatments including TENS, ultrasound, phonophoresis, iontophoresis and interferential current therapy.

Shoulder injuries are common not just among professional athletes and physical laborers. Even deskbound office workers, gardeners and hobbyists are subject to overuse injuries to the shoulders – problems that may prevent them from living, working and enjoying life to their greatest potential.

Along with Jeanne Utterback, our physical therapy staff has vast shoulder injury rehab experience. We will work hard to help get you out of pain and back to your life quickly and safely.

No matter what your physical therapy needs are, our mission is to provide you with advanced, personalized rehab programs – delivered with a caring, compassionate touch – so you can return to full function quickly and safely. Discover the difference our unique brand of patient-centered care can make in your life.

Because no two patients are the same, a specific shoulder treatment program may use one, two or several therapies or modalities to relieve your pain and add flexibility and movement to your life.

So don’t let shoulder pain and lost mobility stop you from enjoying your life. Tell your doctor you want the caring, compassion and experience of Venice Rehab.
