You’ve iced it.
You’ve stretched it.
You’ve tried exercises from YouTube or from that printout from a past PT visit…
But your shoulder still hurts.
We hear this story all the time at R3 Physio.
That’s because conventional shoulder treatments often focus only on the joint itself. However, the shoulder is one of the most complex and integrated areas of the body—and true healing requires looking far beyond it.
What We Do Differently at R3 Physio
Our systems-based approach takes into account the full body and how each system affects the shoulder:
1. Breath & Trunk Control
Breath is the foundation of postural control. Poor rib cage mobility and shallow breathing patterns limit shoulder mechanics and reduce stability.
2. Fascial Pull and Restrictions
Fascia connects everything. Restrictions in your abdomen, spine, or even hip can create compensatory tension that overloads the shoulder.
3. Compensations and Neuromotor Patterns
If your body isn’t moving efficiently, you’ll subconsciously “protect” the shoulder—causing chronic overload or improper recruitment.
4. System Integration
We don’t just isolate muscles—we integrate movement. Our team uses Functional Manual Therapy principles to help your systems communicate and work together, the way they were designed to.
Why It Matters
When your systems are aligned, movement becomes effortless. Pain resolves faster. And you’re no longer stuck in a loop of failed treatments.
