Shoulder Pain That's Limiting Your Life
Most shoulder pain has a specific mechanical driver — a tight capsule, an overloaded tendon, an impinging structure. Find it, treat it hands-on, and restore full function.
Shoulder pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a physical therapist — and one of the most undertreated. Most patients spend months on anti-inflammatories, heat packs, and generic exercises before getting a real hands-on assessment. Dr. Baskin identifies exactly what structure is driving your pain — the rotator cuff, the joint capsule, the biceps tendon, or a movement pattern — and treats it directly.
We combine manual therapy, targeted dry needling, progressive loading, and postural correction to restore range of motion and strength. Most shoulder conditions resolve significantly faster with this approach than with rest or passive treatment alone.
You see the same Doctor of Physical Therapy every visit — someone who tracks your response and adjusts every session to keep moving you forward.
Most rotator cuff tears — even partial thickness — respond excellently to PT. Surgery should always follow a quality trial of physical therapy first.
Why Most Shoulder PT Fails
Generic rotator cuff exercises and resistance bands won't fix a stiff joint capsule or an overloaded tendon with myofascial trigger points. Effective shoulder treatment requires hands-on assessment and specific manual therapy — not a sheet of exercises to do at home.
