Most clients walk through our doors with doubts.

They’ve been told their MRI is “bad.”
They’ve been told surgery is the only option.
They’ve been told to stop lifting, stop training, or just rest.

By the time they find us, many feel frustrated, skeptical, and honestly just tired of being in pain.

What we see over and over again is this:
1) Pain does not always equal damage.
2) An MRI does not dictate your future.
3) Surgery is often one option, not the first or only one.

With the right assessment and a plan built around addressing the root cause as well as your goals, the body is incredibly adaptable.

One of our clients came in unable to lift his arm, considering surgery as his only path forward. Seven weeks later, he’s back in the gym, stronger, confident, and nearly pain free without going under the knife.

This is why we do what we do.
Helping people move better, feel better, and return to the life and training they love even when they’ve been told it’s “too late.”

Knee pain isn’t normal

If walking, stairs, or training hurt, something underneath isn’t working the way it should.

We use a data driven knee assessment to find the root cause, reduce pain, and give you a clear plan forward

Most people leave feeling significantly better and with understanding of why their knee hurts, what to do about it, and how long recovery should take.

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!
