I came in not being able to touch my shoulder due to the fact that I broke my arm, but then Restore helped me out. I walked out today being able to touch my shoulder and being able to go back to my sports and everyday life.” — Sonya R. — Actual 5 Star Google Review “The strength of my arms and shoulders has improved greatly since my first day at Restore Physical Therapy! Kyle, the therapist, was kind and very patient with me throughout the therapy sessions, even at times when I resisted. Thanks so much for helping me regain the mobility and strength that I needed to do my job better!” — Eastla G. — Actual 5 Star Google Review

If You Have an Office Job… • Adjust your desk and chair so elbows rest at a 90-degree angle.

• Keep your mouse and keyboard close together to avoid overreaching. • Position your monitor so the top is at or just below eye level. • Take regular breaks to stretch and reset posture.

If You Have a Manual Job… • Avoid bending your torso to pick up items (even if they aren’t heavy). Instead, use positioning devices (like a forklift) to bring the items right in front of you.

Experience What Truly Personalized Care is Like

• Avoid repeatedly lifting items above your head whenever possible, and remember to keep what you’re lifting close to your body. • Take regular breaks, to reduce fatigue from repetitive movements. • Warm up before the workday to prepare your shoulders and spine.
