What a visit looks like
What we do
Your therapist checks how your shoulder, neck and upper back move together, then uses hands-on care and graded exercise, and shows you what to do at home.
What decides how many visits
What your therapist finds, what you want to do again and how your body responds. Your therapist talks it through with you.
Who treats you
A physical therapist, and sometimes a physical therapist assistant under their direction. Your first visit is about an hour.

Questions about this care
I had shoulder surgery. When do I start?
Your surgeon decides when. Bring their instructions to your first visit, and your therapist follows them.
Do I need an MRI first?
Usually not. If something needs imaging, your therapist tells you and works with your physician.
