The assessment shows that the 22-year-old padel player’s left shoulder pain and stiffness are due to stress from repetitive overhead movements and tightness in the shoulder joint after increasing training. The delayed movement of the shoulder blade during these motions suggests muscle imbalances and poor shoulder control. The plan of care is divided into four phases. Phase 1 focuses on reducing pain with gentle passive shoulder movements, soft tissue massage, and heat therapy to ease stiffness. Phase 2 works on improving range of motion and better movement patterns using assisted exercises, scapular strengthening, and posture correction. In Phase 3, exercises are added to strengthen the shoulder muscles and practice movements needed for playing padel. Phase 4 focuses on getting the player back to their sport with specific drills and teaching the importance of warming up and stretching after playing. The patient’s progress will be checked regularly, with changes made to the plan to ensure steady improvement and a safe return to playing padel.
