particular. We will identify how your joints move in relation to one another to ensure we identify any restriction or limitation that may be contributing to your condition. In addition, we will test your shoulder and shoulder blade strength, range of motion, and how they work together in different positions. This information will help determine any weaknesses and/or compensations that may impair your ability to swing correctly. Your physical therapist will design a program tailored to your individual needs. This program will consist of flexibility/mobility, strength, and power training to correct faulty movement patterns to help resolve your injury and improve your overall performance. We will use any technique, including Kinesio Taping and manual techniques, to assist your rehabilitation and education on proper movement sequencing. Our team will show you how to warm up, including mobility and theraband work, to enhance your performance so you can hit the ball with greater confidence!

What To Expect In Physical Therapy
Acromioclavicular (AC) joint pain: The AC joint is on the very top of the shoulder. Research suggests that the AC joint is most stressed at the top of the backswing when the lead shoulder is in maximal horizontal abduction (reaching across the body). Degeneration, poor posture, and faulty shoulder blade movements can influence the AC joint and lead to pain or injury. Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative type of arthritis where the cartilage in the shoulder joints gradually wears away. As the cartilage wears away, the joint space decreases, resulting in pain and loss of motion. Shoulder joint instability: Instability is defined as the excess movement of the humeral head (ball) in relation to the socket. Essentially, the ball slides forward or backward in the socket and loses congruence with the socket. The rotator cuff's primary function is to maintain the ball in the center of the socket, preventing excessive movement of the humeral head in any direction. At OSR Physical Therapy, our physical therapists will help identify the most likely cause of your shoulder pain and how to resolve it.
