Shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand pain

Physical Therapy in Boulder, CO

A woman is lying on a hospital bed and receiving an ultrasound scan of her arm from a medical professional.

From a nagging rotator cuff to elbow pain that flares every time you pick up a coffee cup, upper extremity injuries have an outsized effect on daily life — they touch nearly everything you do with your hands.

At Revo, a Doctor of Physical Therapy spends a full 60 minutes evaluating not just the joint that hurts, but the shoulder blade mechanics, posture, and movement patterns that often drive the problem. We use motion capture and EMG when needed to see exactly what's happening during the movements that bother you most.

This is one of our specialized physical therapy services. See our full Physical Therapy approach in Boulder.
