  • How long does physical therapy take for shoulder pain?

    There are conditions that may require physical therapy. Shoulder impingement syndrome, osteoarthritis, tendinitis/bursitis, frozen shoulder, or post-surgical status, just to list a few. They could be in different stage and severity. Pain, limited range of motion, and functional impairments are all what need to be treated. Generally speaking, in cases of subacute or chronic cases, shoulder pain is associated with range of motion limitations. In other words, the more limitation in range of motion, the more severe shoulder pain. Therefore, the length of time per session and the duration of physical therapy are based on the individual condition and not fixed. For example, when we are treating someone with frozen shoulder, low tension sustained stretching in all direction of motion following deep heat modality would take longer than an hour while treating acute rotator cuff strain, much shorter the duration.
