Imagine This…
You wake up with a sharp, nagging pain in the front of your right shoulder. It seems to have come out of nowhere. You try lifting your arm to the side, reaching overhead for a plate, or putting on your shirt. While the sharpness fades a bit, the ache lingers, making every move uncomfortable.
You think, “Surely, it’ll just go away, right?”
But a week passes, and while the pain has lessened, it’s still there. Two weeks go by, and it feels like it’s not getting any better. Now you’re starting to wonder if you need to do something more about it.
Three weeks in, and you’re fed up. You’ve had to change your entire workout routine—no more overhead presses, no more lateral raises, no more chest exercises. The frustration grows as the pain sticks around, and you start to wonder if you’ll ever get back to normal.
Sound familiar? If so, you’re not alone.
Meet Brian
Take Brian, for example. Brian is a former pro golfer and now a bodybuilder. He came to Forward Physio with chronic right shoulder pain—sharp at times and always in the background. He couldn’t press overhead, reach behind his back, or confidently lift heavy weights for his chest or shoulders.
Brian had heard about Forward Physio and dry needling and wanted to know if it could help him. After a detailed assessment, we confirmed he was a good candidate for the treatment and decided to proceed. At the start, Brian had limited range of motion and was dealing with a nagging pain at a 7 out of 10.
After his dry needling session, Brian’s overhead and external range of motion improved significantly, and his pain dropped to a 3 out of 10. By the next week, he was back to incline bench pressing 115-pound dumbbells!
Is Dry Needling Right for You?
Brian’s story is just one of many. At Forward Physio, we’ve helped countless people with shoulder pain, and dry needling has been a game-changer for some of them. While it’s not the right solution for everyone, it might be the key to your recovery.
