Shoulder pain is one of the most common issues lifters face and it’s not always caused by bad form or heavy weights. At BAR Physical Therapy in Phoenix, we help athletes uncover the real reason behind shoulder pain: poor control, mobility limits, and movement imbalances that build up over time. Learn how to fix the root cause so you can stay strong, pain-free, and confident under the bar.
