Understanding Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain affects approximately one-third of the population, interfering with daily tasks and quality of life. The shoulder is a complex joint with many potential sources of pain and dysfunction.

Rotator Cuff Issues

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder. Injuries or inflammation can cause significant pain and limited mobility.

Frozen Shoulder

Also known as adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder causes stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint.

Shoulder Impingement

Occurs when the shoulder's rotator cuff tendons are trapped and compressed during shoulder movements, causing pain and limiting overhead activities.

Daryl truly made me feel so at ease and listened to. He was chill and professional, asked all the right questions and the massage was exceptional. His holistic skillset is readily apparent, and I felt as though his intentionality set the tone for a really healing, helpful appointment.
