Shoulder Arthritis: What's Happening Inside Your Joint
Over time, the cartilage in your shoulder joint can wear down, causing arthritis. This leads to stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility. It's especially common in our 55+ clients who've been active their whole lives.
When arthritis develops, the smooth cartilage that cushions your shoulder joint deteriorates. Without that protective layer, bone rubs on bone. You get inflammation, bone spurs develop, and your shoulder becomes stiff and painful.
The result? Difficulty reaching overhead, pain with everyday movements, and a shoulder that feels locked up.
But here's what most people don't realize: arthritis doesn't have to mean the end of shoulder function. With the right strength training and mobility work, you can manage pain, improve stability, and regain movement.
Don't let arthritis steal your shoulder function. Let's create a plan to manage your pain and get you moving again.
