IMS therapy may be used as part of a comprehensive post-surgery rehabilitation program to help promote healing and restore function. After surgery, it’s common to experience muscle imbalances, tension, and weakness that can limit the range of motion and mobility. IMS therapy can help address these issues by releasing tight muscles and trigger points, promoting circulation, and stimulating tissue healing.
IMS therapy may be particularly helpful for conditions such as rotator cuff injuries, back pain, knee injuries, and other conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system. By improving muscle function and alignment, IMS therapy can help support the healing process and promote a more complete recovery.
However, it’s important to note that IMS therapy should always be used in conjunction with other aspects of post-surgery rehabilitation, such as physical therapy, exercise, and lifestyle modifications. Your healthcare practitioner can provide guidance on the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs and help you achieve the best possible outcomes.
Shoulder impingement is a chronic compression injury to the soft-tissue structures of the shoulder joint. When you move your arm overhead, the space between your humerus (arm bone) and the acromion (pointy end) of your shoulder blade shrinks, and the tendons running through that area from your rotator cuff can get irritated. Normally, this temporary compression does not lead to any injury, but consistently repeating overhead motions can lead to irritation and pain. If left untreated, the constant compression of the structures in the shoulder joint can lead to more debilitating effects and chronic shoulder pain.

The ideal frequency of physical therapy sessions varies based on individual needs, conditions, and recovery goals. Typically, therapists may recommend starting with two to three sessions per week for acute injuries or post-surgical recovery, adjusting as improvement is noted. For chronic conditions or less severe injuries, one to two sessions per week might suffice. Ultimately, the specific plan should be tailored to the patient’s unique situation, including their physical condition, progress rate, and personal goals. Regular assessment by the physical therapist ensures that the treatment plan remains aligned with the patient’s evolving needs, maximizing the effectiveness of the therapy while accommodating the individual’s lifestyle and physical capabilities. Here’s a general guideline:
Always consult with your physical therapist for a tailored recommendation. Remember, consistency and adherence to the treatment plan are vital for the best outcomes.
