Some evidence-based therapies we may include in your rotator cuff treatment

There are many evidence-based therapies that our Advent Physical Therapy team may use in your rotator cuff treatment. Evidence-based therapies are important to the treatment plans our team creates for one reason. This reason is that these therapies are backed by years of scientific research and evidence that they actually work.

One of the evidence-based therapies our team may use to help your rotator cuff is joint mobilization. This form of therapy is one of many that falls into the category of manual therapy. The specific goal that our team is striving to meet with joint mobilization is to make it easier for you to move your arm in your shoulder joint. To help you achieve this improved shoulder mobility, our therapists will use their hands to slowly and gently move your arm in various ways. The movements we use are specifically designed to help maintain the mobility of your shoulder joint and may even help to reduce your rotator cuff pain.

In addition to joint mobilization, our team may also use several other evidence-based therapies on your rotator cuff. These other therapies may include methods such as:

• Muscle strengthening and stretching exercises
• Ultrasound therapy
• Heat and cold therapy
• Electrical stimulation therapy

Our team can use these therapies to create a treatment plan for your rotator cuff that may have many benefits for you. For instance, we may be able to reduce the pain you experience during your recovery and even reduce your overall recovery time. However, there’s one thing you’ll need to do if you want to start getting these benefits from rotator cuff treatment.
