Capitol Physical Therapy, a Washington D.C. physical rehabilitation therapy clinic, has released a new educational report on a common condition that affects millions each year: shoulder tendinitis. This comprehensive guide aims to help individuals better understand the condition and how physical therapy can play a key role in recovery and long-term prevention.
“We use our shoulders for nearly everything — reaching, lifting, throwing, and more,” the report says. “But when we overuse or strain them, it can lead to inflammation and pain that significantly impacts quality of life.”
Shoulder tendinitis, also known as rotator cuff tendinitis, occurs when the tendons surrounding the shoulder joint become irritated or inflamed. According to the report, this condition often results from repetitive motion, poor posture, or direct injury, and can be made worse by age-related wear and tear.
The new report, now available on Capitol Physical Therapy’s website, outlines the symptoms, causes, and treatment options for shoulder tendinitis. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, tenderness, and reduced range of motion in the affected shoulder — which often worsens at night or during overhead activities.
The cornerstone of the report is its detailed explanation of how physical therapy can help people recover from shoulder tendinitis without resorting to surgery or long-term medication use. “Physical therapy can help manage pain, rebuild strength, improve mobility, and most importantly, help prevent the issue from coming back,” the report adds.
The report encourages anyone experiencing shoulder pain to consult a physical therapist early.
“If left untreated, shoulder tendinitis can worsen over time, potentially leading to tendon tears and more serious complications,” the report warns.
Capitol Physical Therapy’s team of licensed sports injury physical therapists develops personalized treatment plans based on each patient’s specific needs and goals. Their focus is not just on short-term relief but long-term health and performance.
“Our mission is to help patients get back to doing the things they love, pain-free,” the report concludes. “Shoulder tendinitis doesn’t have to sideline your life — with the right care, recovery is possible.”
The full report, titled “Shoulder Tendinitis: Causes, Symptoms, and How Physical Therapy Can Help” is available now at the clinic’s website.
