Sore Shoulders and Neck? Here’s How Physical Therapy Can Reduce Your Pain

Waking up with a stiff neck or aching shoulders can make even simple tasks feel unbearable. Whether you’re dealing with tightness from stress, poor posture, or an old injury, the discomfort can linger and affect your daily routine.

Physical therapy helps by identifying the root cause of your pain and using targeted techniques to improve mobility. Instead of masking the pain with temporary fixes, therapy works to correct muscle imbalances and restore movement.

You might notice pain when you turn your head, reach for something, or sit at your desk for long hours. Common causes include:

– Poor posture from looking down at screens
