Suffering From a Rotator Cuff Injury?
Physical Therapy May Be the Answer
If you’re suffering from shoulder pain, you may be wondering if physical therapy can help you overcome it. After all, you want to get rid of the pain as soon as possible and go back to doing the things you love!
Physical therapy can play an important role in your recovery by helping to alleviate pain, restore range of motion and strengthen your muscles so you can return to normal activity—and stay there.
What Are the Symptoms of a Rotator Cuff Injury?
Each muscle in your rotator cuff attaches to one of 4 bones—the collarbone, two shoulder blades (scapula), and the arm bone (humerus). The tendon that passes over these bones is called your supraspinatus tendon.
It’s common for all 4 rotator cuff muscles to be injured at once, though it’s possible for only one or two of them to be affected. This condition can cause pain in your shoulder region as well as weakness when lifting or rotating your arm. In severe cases, you may even experience numbness or tingling in your fingers.

“I contacted Dr. Murphy because I was experiencing very limited movement in my right rotator cuff and shoulder. He was able to assess, through an assessment grid , the root cause of my limitations and to proceed with treatment to alleviate my problem."
Dr. Murphy over six (6) visits was able to provide me with exercises, both in the therapy sessions and a home exercise program, that proved to be beneficial in my recovery and allowed me to experience a greater range of motion and for that I am grateful.
I was very impressed with the follow up text and emails that kept me accountable to the plan. I feel confident that I will continue to receive periodic follow up in the future.
I will recommend Dr. Murphy/Pinnacle Physical Therapy to others that are in need of a very professional, knowledgeable, and caring physical therapist.
"As a retiree, I have experienced other physical therapy clinics and didn’t hold out much hope of improvement. Was I wrong!"
I recently went to see Dr. Murphy as I had been diagnosed with shoulder impingement and had been experiencing pain and limited range of motion for over a year. As a retiree, I have experienced other physical therapy clinics and didn’t hold out much hope for improvement. Was I wrong!
Dr Murphy offers amazing, personalized care, and after only one week I could feel a marked improvement that continues today. He takes the time to do a thorough and complete exam and really listens while at the same time being so relaxed, encouraging, and friendly. He provides a home exercise program by email with detailed instructions and reminders, so all “homework” can be done safely and correctly. I would highly recommend his practice to anyone who wants to stay active. His care is truly outstanding.
