How Tampa Motion Kinetics Helps You Heal and Move Forward

We provide a systematic, evidence-based approach to ensure your shoulder is prepared for surgery:

• We focus on strengthening the muscles around the rotator cuff, including the deltoid and scapular stabilizers, to enhance overall joint stability.
• Through targeted stretches and manual therapy, we address stiffness, ensuring the shoulder can move freely and align properly for surgical correction.
• Techniques such as heat therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, and anti-inflammatory exercises reduce discomfort and prepare the shoulder for surgery.
• Poor posture often exacerbates shoulder issues, so we incorporate training to optimize alignment and movement mechanics before surgery.
• We provide guidance on post-operative expectations, precautions, and early recovery exercises to mentally and physically prepare you for the rehabilitation process.
• Our therapists work closely with your surgical team to ensure the pre-surgical program aligns seamlessly with your surgical goals and post-operative care plan.
