Testing for Shoulder Pain
Healthy Shoulders should be able to allow the upper arm to touch the ears. Stand with the arms to the side. Keeping the arms straight, bring the arms out to the side and up to the head as close as you can. Does your arm hit your head? Is it painful at any point? If your arm fails to touch your head and/or painful at any point along the movement you are a good candidate for care! Click below to schedule an appointment.

Testimonial
"I began competing in 1973. Covering more than 80,000 miles in training and competing in five US Olympic Trials, such long-term wear and tear means I now require a lot of recovery support to remain competitive. I stretch. I ice. I use a foam roller; however, the single biggest factor I have found in avoiding chronic injuries is regular body work with Brad McKay at Performance Therapy SC. He is diligent in understanding my biomechanical needs as a racewalker and has solved a long-term hamstring problem I developed from the constant turns in track races. This allowed me to set a US Master's indoor (50-54) record for the Mile racewalk in March, 2013 at 7:09. Whether you are injured or simply need to maintain supple muscles to excel in your event, I recommend a series of sessions with Brad."
