Shoulder Pain
We depend so much on using our arms and back that we often don’t notice that we may have abused and injured our shoulder. This can also keep us from performing simple tasks like writing, carrying objects and/or children, and walking. Even more challenging is playing any sport requiring upper body movement. Finally, getting a good night’s sleep can also become a challenge.
This kind of pain should never be ignored as it can often lead to joint damage, neck or back pain, and nerve damage.
At Vita, we specialize in helping to reduce your pain, increase movement, and prevent further injuries.

Manual Therapy
Manual therapy involves a range of hands-on techniques performed by our skilled therapists. These techniques aim to promote healing, improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore optimal function. With a personalized approach, our therapists utilize various manual therapy techniques to address specific needs and conditions.
Neuromuscular Re-education
Neuromuscular re-education is a specialized technique to improve coordination, control, and function of muscles and nerves. Our therapists use this technique to restore proper muscle activation, improve balance and proprioception, and enhance overall movement quality. By stimulating the neuromuscular system, patients can regain functional abilities and improve their quality of life.
