If your shoulder has been hurting for months and nothing’s helped, read this.

You can heal your shoulder with just 10 minutes a day. I know we are all busy, but don’t tell me you don’t have 10 minutes to take control of your health and solve your problem.

This is the process of one of our patients that came in with over six months of shoulder pain causing difficulty with sleep and stopped training due to continued pain. After just two weeks working at Upgrade PT, their peak force improved dramatically, pain dropped, and they’re already back to working out without issues.

The process to heal is often simple, but many find it hard to execute. Not because it doesn’t work, but because most people lack the understanding, don’t address the actual problem, and lack trust to stay consistent enough to see results.

This is what we do every day. We evaluate, test, and train the shoulder to restore true strength, mobility, and control. That’s when the pain fades and confidence comes back.

If your shoulder hurts when you lift, reach, or sleep. Look for help, and start now. Ten minutes a day can change everything.

Sincerely,
Upgrade Physical Therapy and Fitness

Another success story at Upgrade PT. This patient came in after an accident that led to tears in her rotator cuff. At the start of care, she was limited in shoulder function, struggling with sleep, lifting, and daily activities. After 12 weeks of consistent rehab, she’s now able to move and work out pain free, without compensation or aggravation in the days following her workouts.

This is another example of how identifying the root cause and staying consistent with a focused plan gives the body the tools it needs to heal and restore full function.

If you or someone you know has been dealing with pain and want a real solution, send us a message.

Shoulder pain? It’s not always about rest, injections or pills.
Research shows that controlled tension helps muscles, tendons and connective tissues heal and grow stronger.

Try gentle 30-second isometric holds but if pain persists, get assessed by a licensed physical therapist.

Tension and Time

10/09/2025

I’ve been there. Torn labrum, pain with every press, tossing and turning at night due to pain wondering if I’d ever move pain free and lift heavy again.
No injections, no MRI, no pills, no surgery.
Just a clear plan, consistency, and belief that the body can heal when given the right stimulus and enough time.

Now I bench pain free and stronger than ever.
Healing isn’t about luck, it’s about doing the right things over time.

I’m not just a physical therapist who treats shoulder injuries. I’m someone who’s lived it, learned from it, and came back better.

If shoulder pain is stopping you from training, it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Send me a DM and let’s get you back to lifting without fear.

In the first session we worked on external rotation and extension mobility at the shoulder joint, plus improving the activation of the rotator cuff for better stability. Those changes led to improved ability to overhead press and can now lift with less pain and more control and even improved behind the back reach. Not fingertip to fingertip yet, but closer every time. These positive changes indicate we are addressing the root cause of the shoulder problem (not just masking symptoms) and are on track for long lasting results in function and pain!

This motocross competitor faced challenges with daily activities and training due to lingering right knee pain from a meniscus injury. However, after 6 weeks of focused rehabilitation, he's resumed competitive racing. By enhancing knee mobility, quadriceps function, and control, and progressively loading his legs, he's back on track. Share this story with someone dealing with knee pain!

🚨 Still dealing with shoulder pain?

Most people are told:
❌ “You’ll need surgery.”
❌ “It won’t get any better.”
❌ “Just stop lifting or playing sports.”

They try injections, medications, or random stretches or exercises found on the Internet… but nothing changes. Why?
👉 Because they were never properly assessed.

Here’s the truth:
✅ Most shoulder pain comes from movement restrictions and sensitive tissue caused by stiff joints, weak or inhibited muscles, and/ or irritated nerves.
✅ When we identify the problems and address these directly, pain goes down, mobility returns, and strength comes back.
✨ Most of our patients improve in just 4–6 visits without surgery, injections or unnecessary imaging.

📩 DM us “SHOULDER” to get the right plan and finally fix it at the source.

Shoulder pain gone and retired life back on track ✅

He came in with sharp pain at the top of his left shoulder that shot down his arm. Sleeping was uncomfortable and playing pickleball was tough.

After just 6 visits over 8 weeks, he’s now back on the court pain free, lifting overhead in the gym, and moving through life without hesitation.

Pressing, pulling, pushing, carrying are all back in the routine. Proud of the work he put in to get here!

💪 BACK IN BEAST MODE 💥
After 3 months of shoulder pain that shut down his workouts, bench press, painting this trainer is officially BACK.
⁠
We uncovered the root cause: shoulder instability, mobility restrictions, weakness in key muscles resulting in movement compensations and pain
⁠
10 weeks of focused rehab later 👉 he’s flexin’ pain-free, back under the bar, painting comfortably, crushing daily tasks, and sleeping better 💤
⁠
This is what smart training and personalized rehab can do 🔥
⁠
📈 Real movement. Real recovery. Real results.
⁠
Tag someone who’s been grinding through pain. You don’t have to stay stuck. No injections, no pills and surgeries needed.

One visit. Big change.
This motocross rider came in with knee pain, walking with a limp and limited motion. You can see it in the first clip he was stiff, with guarded steps, no hip extension, landing on his toes.

After some focused work in our session, you can already see the difference:
• Better stride
• Improved knee extension (-10° ➡️ -3°)
• More flexion (110° ➡️ 125°)
• And most importantly more speed and confidence moving

Still some work ahead, but he’s well on his way to riding pain free again.
