Stop letting shoulder pain keep you from the gym, the golf course, or simply reaching overhead without wincing.
At Elite Movement Specialists, we help active adults in Macon overcome shoulder injuries and get back to the activities that define them—without relying on rest, injections, or surgery.

You're squeezed into 20-minute slots, juggling your time with two other patients while your therapist bounces between treatment tables. Nothing gets fully addressed, and your pain keeps coming back.

Whether it's overhead lifts at the gym, playing weekend softball, or simple tasks like putting away groceries, your shoulder isn't cooperating—and it's affecting your quality of life.

You're concerned that if you don't address this now, you'll be dealing with chronic shoulder problems for years to come. The uncertainty is almost as frustrating as the pain itself.

At Elite Movement Specialists, we've successfully treated hundreds of active adults dealing with shoulder pain. Our expertise includes:
Whether you're a weekend warrior, competitive athlete, or fitness enthusiast, we'll create a plan that gets you back to doing what you love—pain-free.

During this conversation, either Dr. Josh or Dr. Paige will hear about your pain points, limitations, and goals. We'll determine if we're the right fit for your needs and, if so, get you scheduled for a comprehensive evaluation. No pressure, no sales pitch—just honest guidance.

A highly trained doctor will partner with you in our 1-on-1 model to perform a thorough orthopedic examination. We'll establish where you are in the healing continuum and where you want to go. This isn't a cookie-cutter assessment—it's a deep dive into your movement patterns, pain triggers, and functional goals.

Once we've properly diagnosed the root cause of your pain, we'll create a comprehensive plan of care personalized to your specific needs and goals. This allows you to eliminate your pain and keep it from returning—so you can get back to the workouts, sports, and activities that define you.
