Shoulder Pain & Mobility Issues

Shoulder pain can show up as a sharp pinch, a deep ache, or that annoying “catching” feeling—especially when you reach overhead, behind your back, or try to lift anything heavier than a coffee mug. Many people seek help after trying rest, massage, stretching, or even injections, only to discover that the relief never really lasts.

Common conditions like shoulder impingement, frozen shoulder, biceps tendon irritation, AC joint pain, rotator cuff adhesion, or thoracic outlet syndrome often drive these symptoms.

You might notice:

• Pain when reaching behind to grab something in the back seat

• Difficulty putting on a bra or reaching behind your back

• Sharp pinching when washing or blow-drying your hair

• Shoulder flare-ups during overhead lifts or workouts

• Pain when lifting kids, groceries, or bags with one arm

• Strain or weakness during pressing movements or pushups

These problems often come from adhesions—small spots where soft tissue sticks together and limits movement. You won’t see them on scans, but they can reduce mobility, irritate nerves, and make recovery feel out of reach without focused treatment.
