Sound familiar?

You skip the overhead press.
You sleep on the other side.
You reach for the top shelf with
your good arm.

What you've already tried:

  • Tried: Rest
  • Tried: Cortisone shots
  • Tried: Chiropractor
  • Tried: Insurance PT

They all focused on where it hurts.
None of them figured out why.

How it works

From a 10-minute call
to
back to lifting

  1. 1

    A quick call with our team

    Just 10 minutes to discuss your shoulder situation, and to help answer your questions about the Shoulder Analysis. If it's a fit, our team will help get you scheduled on the call

  2. 2

    Your 60-minute Shoulder Analysis

    Spend 60 minutes one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy to identify what's really causing your pain.

  3. 3

    Your root cause, explained

    Walk away understanding what's behind your pain, with exercises you can start doing right away.

  4. 4

    Your game plan, built around you

    If you decide to continue, your therapist builds a game plan around your needs: 1-on-1 training at our clinic, a personalized program updated weekly in our app, and direct access to your therapist whenever you need support.

Our method: every exercise must meet three criteria: target the injured tissue, be pain-free, and be challenging enough to build strength (a 7–8 out of 10 effort).

The $300 $99 Shoulder Analysis: one hour to find out exactly why your shoulder hurts.

What's included

60 min · 1-on-1 · DPT
  • Shoulder movement assessment, including pressing, reaching overhead, and rotation, as well as your neck and upper back.
  • Strength and stability testing for your rotator cuff and shoulder blade
  • An easy-to-understand report explaining what's driving your pain.

FAQ

Questions,

We're cash-based, so we don't bill insurance. That's how you get a Doctor of Physical Therapy 1-on-1 for the full hour, instead of sharing them with 2–4 patients. Many clients use HSA/FSA, and your plan of care can be split into payments with CareCredit, Cherry, Klarna or Affirm.

Your therapist starts with your story and goals, then runs a shoulder movement screen and strength and stability testing. You leave with a clear report on what's driving the pain and exercises to start that day.

A Doctor of Physical Therapy, 1-on-1 for the full hour. Not an aide, and not a therapist splitting time between patients.

Usually not. We keep you as active as we safely can and adjust your training around the problem, so you keep moving while we fix the cause.

Most clients feel a change in the first visit: on average, a 70% improvement in symptoms after the initial evaluation. How long your game plan runs depends on the scope of the problem and your individual needs. Results vary.

Rotator cuff pain and tears, impingement, frozen shoulder, labrum and SLAP injuries, AC joint pain, instability, biceps tendon pain and rehab after surgery. Whether you lift, throw, swim or just want to reach the top shelf without wincing, the analysis starts by finding what's behind it.

throwing and
sleeping. Pain free.
