“Austin PT restored my ability to move my shoulder fully and pain-free.” “I could no longer raise my arm higher than my elbow and was in great pain if I tried to move it. Turns out I had a frozen shoulder. Austin PT restored my ability to move my shoulder fully and pain-free. The staff were great to work with. I saw two different therapists regularly and both were awesome.They made sure I knew what to do at home so I didn’t lose progress. I was encouraged to give their pool therapy a try too because of how much my shoulder was hurting me. It was the best!! I loved how much better I felt in that warm water and how much easier it was to move. If I were to need therapy again for any reason, I wouldn’t bother trying anywhere else. I’ve already got my husband going here for his hips and back pain!! Five stars, great experience.” - S. M. Loosen Up Your Shoulders Try this movement if you notice a decrease in range of motion.
Active Release Technique
Once we have achieved a symmetrical range of motion and strength through the Postural Restoration Approach, we can then make a better decision towards the best modality and manual technique to address the remaining symptoms. One very helpful technique called ART, or Active Release Technique, is a manual therapy that reduces the soft tissue restriction to help restore the normal tissue glide so that they can move separately. At Austin PT, our ART certified practitioners incorporate this technique to accompany your treatment if it is necessary. If you are unsure if this is the right approach for you, give us a call to discuss your options! SupineRight SerratusAnterior (6)
