Diagnosis: Weightlifter’s Shoulder 💥 (a.k.a. AC Joint Impingement)
That sharp pain in the front of your shoulder? Not just soreness — your AC joint’s inflamed from overuse and poor mechanics.

Physical therapy helps you:
✅ Reduce shoulder inflammation
✅ Fix movement patterns
✅ Strengthen supporting muscles so it doesn’t come back

Don’t let your ego lift more than your shoulder can handle 😅

It’s the forced politeness for me ☕️

🧠 Cervical MRI = the truth your neck’s been hiding.
That stiffness, tingling, or radiating pain? It’s not “just stress.”
MRIs show exactly what we’re working with so your treatment hits the right spot 🎯

No guessing. Just results.
💪 Ironbound Physical Therapy — where healing meets precision.

🎯 Shoulder Game Strong 💪
Meet the Fantastic Four of your rotator cuff — the team keeping your shoulder stable and powerful through every lift, throw, and stretch:

🔥 Supraspinatus – starts the party (shoulder abduction)
🔥 Infraspinatus – external rotation MVP
🔥 Teres Minor – backup rotator and stabilizer
🔥 Teres Major – the bodyguard, helping with internal rotation and control

These muscles work 24/7 to keep your shoulder joint happy — until you skip your rotator cuff exercises 😅

Diagnosis: Pickleball Wrist (De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis) 💥
Yep — your paddle game’s strong, but your tendons are waving the white flag 🏳️

Physical therapy helps by:
✅ Reducing wrist inflammation
✅ Restoring grip strength
✅ Teaching better paddle mechanics (so you can keep your streak alive)

Don’t let your wrist call “game over” before you do. 💪

💭 Who it’s for:
Cupping therapy is ideal for athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone dealing with muscle tightness, post-workout soreness, or tension from sitting too long. It’s one of our go-to tools at Ironbound Physical Therapy to speed up recovery, improve flexibility, and keep you moving pain-free. 💪

Stop expecting results from effort you didn’t give.

Diagnosis: Text Neck 📱💥
That ache at the base of your neck and upper back?
Not your pillow — it’s your posture 👀

When you tilt your head down to look at your phone, your neck takes on up to 60 pounds of extra pressure.
No wonder it’s screaming. 😅

Physical therapy can help you:
✅ Release neck and shoulder tension
✅ Retrain postural muscles
✅ Keep you pain-free while you scroll, work, and live 🙌

Neck pain shouldn’t come with your data plan. 😉

Upper Trap Dry Needling ⚡️
That constant neck and shoulder tightness? Or those headaches that creep up the back of your head? 👀
Your upper traps might be the real culprit.

Dry needling helps release deep trigger points that:
💢 Cause neck stiffness & shoulder tension
🤕 Trigger tension headaches
💪 Limit lifting or overhead motion

By resetting the muscle with electrical stimulation, we help you move freer, lighter, and pain-free again.

Hamstring Dry Needling 💥
Tight hamstrings slowing you down? 🏃‍♂️💨
Dry needling targets those stubborn trigger points deep in the muscle that stretching alone can’t reach.

It helps:
⚡ Release tension & knots
🏋️‍♀️ Improve flexibility
🦵 Boost recovery after workouts or injuries
🔥 Reduce hamstring pain & stiffness

Perfect for athletes, runners, and anyone tired of feeling “tight” all the time!
