Shoulder Pain Holding You Back? We Can Help
If simple movements become painful challenges like reaching overhead, lifting, putting on a jacket, or tossing a ball with your kids, it’s more than just physical discomfort, it’s missing out on the life you deserve to live!
At Active Physical Therapy in Greenville, we see more than a diagnosis. We see the person behind the pain. Your shoulder discomfort is not just a clinical issue. It is what stands between you and your active life in Greenville South Carolina.
Your Shoulder Pain Journey Starts With Being Heard
Every injury has a story. Maybe your shoulder started hurting after an intense day at Falls Park. Maybe it built up from years of working at a desk. Or maybe you do not even know how it started.
Whatever the cause, our first step is always the same. We listen. We take the time to understand not only where it hurts but how it is impacting your life, your goals, and your day to day activities.
Specialized Care for All Types of Shoulder Pain
Your shoulder is the most mobile joint in your body. That flexibility is a gift but also a risk. It is prone to strain, overuse, and injury. At Active PT Greenville, we treat a wide range of shoulder conditions, including:
- Rotator cuff injuries that make sleeping difficult
- Frozen shoulder that limits your ability to move
- Shoulder impingement that causes pain when reaching
- Recovery from surgery that requires expert care
- Sports injuries that interrupt your daily routine
Each condition is treated with a personalized plan. We do not believe in one size fits all approaches. Your body, your goals, and your progress are what guide us.
Treatment That Fits Your Life
Good physical therapy does not ask you to put your life on hold. At Active PT Greenville, we design each program to fit your needs and your schedule.
Our shoulder treatment plans may include:
- One on one care from your dedicated physical therapist
- Manual therapy to improve joint mobility and reduce pain
- Strength training focused on your stability and function
- Education to help you protect your shoulder at home and at work
- Shockwave therapy for healing without medication or surgery
Everything we do is designed to support progress you can feel and results that last.
Coming Soon: Shockwave Therapy for Shoulder Pain
For shoulder pain that does not improve with traditional treatments, we offer StemWave Shockwave Therapy. This noninvasive method uses focused acoustic energy to stimulate healing in soft tissue.
Shockwave Therapy can:
- Increase blood flow to injured areas
- Break down calcified tissue
- Help tendons and muscles recover faster
- Reduce chronic inflammation
- Deliver pain relief without medication or downtime
Treatments are fast, typically 15 to 20 minutes. Many patients notice improvement after just a few visits.
A Smarter Approach to Shoulder Recovery
We treat the whole person, not just the painful joint. Your therapist looks at how your body moves, how you sit and stand, how you use your arms at work or at home, and how your shoulder fits into the bigger picture.
What you can expect:
Personal attention every step of the way
You will never be passed off to a technician or left doing exercises alone. Your therapist stays with you for every session.
Customized exercises based on real life
We help you build strength and mobility for the things you need to do. Whether that is carrying groceries, lifting your child, or getting back to your sport, we tailor therapy around it.
Clear progress and lasting change
Your plan grows with you. We track your gains, adjust what is needed, and teach you how to keep your results long after therapy ends.
Built for Greenville’s Active Lifestyle
Greenville is a town that moves. People walk the Swamp Rabbit Trail, paddle local rivers, take care of homes, and train in gyms all over the city. These activities make life better, but they can also take a toll on your shoulders.
We understand the demands of your day to day life and design your care plan to meet them. Whether you want to return to push ups, lifting, gardening, sports, or simply a good night’s sleep, we are ready to help.
You Do Not Have to Work Around Pain Anymore
Shoulder pain changes how you live. It limits your options, holds back your movement, and affects your confidence.
You do not have to accept it. And you do not have to figure it out alone.
At Active Physical Therapy in Greenville, we help people move forward. We listen first, treat with purpose, and celebrate every win along the way.
Let us help you take the next step toward moving freely again.
What Other People Just Like You Are Saying About Active Physical Therapy In Greenville, South Carolina
- Shaundra P.
“Michael is the best! I have worked with Michael for over a year and the progress and growth shows inside and outside the gym. His knowledge and understanding of CrossFit performance allows him to connect and understand challenges and difficulties that we have and he works with us so we can keep going! 1000% recommend him for any PT need.”
- Lindsay S.
“My experience with Michael has fully exceeded my expectations. I originally reached out for shoulder pain and have since worked on knee pain as well. I went from minimal movement without pain to being able to do pushups again. There is a huge benefit and advantage in having a professional explain concepts, movements, and ensure the correct muscle groups are being activated.”
- Luke D.
“Michael helped me come back from double heel “fracture” (they were pulverized). His attention to detail and amazing hands-on care for my feet helped me get the flexibility and comfort and confidence I needed each session to make progress, start walking(!) and more. Now I understand what healthy walking looks like for me and my feet, and I am equipped to keep pushing for 100% recovery. We were doing (safe) box jumps last week, I didn’t expect to be able to do that!”
