Most people don’t ignore shoulder pain because they’re careless.
They ignore it because they hope it will go away.
As a physical therapist, I’ve seen thousands of people come in saying:
“I thought it was nothing.”
“I didn’t want to overreact.”
“I figured rest would fix it.”
By the time they showed up, simple things like putting groceries away, reaching overhead, or washing their hair were already a struggle.
👉 Shoulder pain is rarely random.
It’s your body’s alarm system telling you something isn’t tolerating load well.
The good news?
When people listen early, recovery is usually easier, faster, and less frustrating.
That’s why I often start here—with movements that rebuild confidence before forcing overhead motion.
