The shoulder is one of the most complex joints in the body. If you think for a moment about all the different directions that your arm can move at the shoulder it is quite amazing.
The shoulder is one the only major joints that is primarily held together by muscles instead of ligaments. This is why you hear more about shoulder pain from rotator cuff tears than injuries of the ligaments in the shoulder.
Injuries such as rotator cuff tears used to be the province of professional baseball pitchers and quarterbacks. Now, almost everyone knows someone who has had a rotator cuff repair and chances are she probably doesn't even know how the injury happened.
More and more shoulder pain today has less to do with obvious injury - or even repetitive stress - and more to do with the consequences of sitting with our hands working in front of us - whether we are at a desk, driving, eating dinner, watching television...
We spend the vast majority of our timing sitting with our shoulders rounded, our heads in front of our body and our shoulders quietly take a beating every day.
We see rotator cuff problems, frozen shoulder, bicep tendonitis and other shoulder issues every day. We're able to help resolve most cases with conservative, non-invasive therapy. Occasionally we see a case where we are unsure and we refer out to an MD for imaging and/or a differential diagnosis.
If you are concerned because your shoulder issue is not resolving or you want a non-surgical option, make an appointment for hand-on or virtual session today!

My experience was wonderful. Janet was very kind and attentive. I felt great after my session and would recommend to try it out.
The lady that assisted me was awesome! I suffer from fibromyalgia and when I left I felt like a brand new person! I plan to return when I get time!
Janet was great - knowledgeable and she found all my "hot spots."

Not Massage Envy. Not a chiropractor. You need trigger point from knowledgeable experts in the craft.

Beautiful, relaxing setting. Therapist was knowledgable and professional. I'll be going back. Thank you.
Janet is very informative. I loved that she explained which muscles/groups she was working on. I learned a lot about my posture and why some of my muscles are not activating. She also provided me with a list of considerations and excercises to improve my posture. I will be back!
Janet has a unique gift and talent in trigger point therapy. I’m definitely seeing her again!
I loved my experience. Janet is extremely knowledgeable in a vary wide variety of conditions. She is thorough and attentive. Makes you feel right at home!
It's like an hour of physical therapy (the good parts of P.T. where they massage you and stretch you). She also takes time to explain some ways to help your specific issues. Highly recommend!
