What issues can virtual physical therapy for shoulder pain treat?

Outpatient Physical Therapy

Whoa! Lifting my arm to put on a shirt really hurts! This is just an example of the kinds of thoughts that may run through your head if you’re dealing with shoulder pain.

The good news is that you definitely aren’t alone. A medical study on shoulder pain found that up to 70% of people suffer from it in their lifetime. Many people may be considering using virtual physical therapy for treating their shoulder pain, but they may not know if this service can help with the cause of their pain. Fortunately, virtual PT can help people with many of the issues that trigger shoulder pain.

Four shoulder pain causes that virtual physical therapy offers treatment for:

  1. Shoulder arthritis — You aren’t as likely to develop arthritis in your shoulder as you are in your knee or hip. But medical research shows that up to 26% of people do develop shoulder arthritis. Virtual sessions with a physical therapist can help treat the pain and decreased shoulder mobility that arthritis can trigger.
  1. Rotator cuff strain — The rotator cuff is made up of four muscles and tendons in your shoulder. When these soft tissue structures are overstretched, they can become inflamed and painful. A physical therapist can work with you virtually to reduce rotator cuff pain and help you learn how to prevent future strains.
  1. Shoulder surgery recovery — Shoulder surgery is often used to treat severe rotator cuff tears or end-stage shoulder arthritis. Recovering from such surgeries can be hard on people. Virtual physical therapy allows you to get effective rehab for your shoulder without leaving home.
  1. Tendinitis — This condition occurs when the tendons in your shoulder become inflamed through overuse. A virtual PT session can help you find ways to ease the pain of shoulder tendinitis. Your physical therapist can help you learn how to avoid aggravating your shoulder while you heal as well.
