"The practice strives to optimize performance and to promote circulation and healing of the body system. With each consultation, the physical therapist examines the patient’s condition and asks about the intensity of the pain, its location, and the time it lingers and leaves. The therapist can also inquire about certain activities that trigger the discomfort in the shoulder and what relieves it. After initial consultation, the therapist then proceeds to examine the strength of the shoulder, as well as the range and quality of its motion. Besides the shoulder, the overall posture, habits and daily activities, like repetitive lifting and stacking heavy objects on a high shelf, are also checked to find out which factors aggravate and relieve the pain or injury. The therapist can then make recommendations on what kinds of therapy to take, and then begin applying techniques and creating exercise programs that help enhance each patient’s condition."
