I can honestly say working with Shoulder Comeback changed the way I understand pain, training and movement.
I originally came in because of ongoing shoulder issues that just wouldn’t fully go away. I had already tried exercises, rehab stuff and strength training, but I still felt like every movement was “one wrong move away” from a flare up.
What made the biggest difference with their program was the focus on rebuilding trust in movement. Instead of treating my shoulder like something fragile, I learned how to move gradually, safely and consistently until it stopped feeling unpredictable. Over time the stiffness, guarding and fear around certain movements faded.
I’m now back to training normally, moving without anxiety and not constantly thinking about my shoulder or when my next flare up is going to be. The approach is thoughtful, patient and very different from typical rehab where you just get a list of exercises.
If you feel stuck and have tried almost everything, this is definitely the program that will help you to trust your shoulder again.

Jovanna, you hit the hammer on the nail. Dr. Cooper's ability to explain pain science and getting clients to trust movement is key for long term success. Nice job with all of the hard work!
After having surgery for a SLAP tear, I assumed the hardest part was behind me. The shoulder healed, but I never truly got my motion back. For years, throwing a ball felt awkward and restricted. I could lift and function day to day, but anything overhead or fast made my shoulder feel tight and unreliable.
I went through physical therapy after surgery and again later on, but I always seemed to hit the same ceiling. No matter how much time passed, my shoulder just would not move the way it used to. When I started this program, I was honestly skeptical. I had already “done rehab” before and did not expect much to change years after surgery.
What surprised me was how different the approach was. Instead of only focusing on the shoulder itself, we spent a lot of time improving how my shoulder blade moved, especially learning how to let it tilt back properly. Once that started improving, my overhead range increased in ways I had not felt since before surgery.
As the weeks went on, throwing motions started to feel smoother instead of forced. We then layered in exercises that were specific to throwing, not generic strengthening, and that made a massive difference.
For the first time in years, I can throw a ball without hesitation. No guarding. No tight catching feeling. No fear that something is going to grab or flare up afterward.The biggest win for me is confidence. I am no longer avoiding certain movements or modifying everything “just in case.” I actually trust my shoulder again.
This program gave me more than pain relief. It gave me the missing pieces I never received after surgery and a clear plan to keep my shoulder healthy long term.If you have had shoulder surgery and feel like you never fully got your motion or confidence back, this is absolutely worth it.

Frank, thank you for sharing your history with the SLAP tear and your journey before and while working with us. Keep up the hard work!
Before approaching Before approaching Comeback Performance & Wellness my left Shoulder I had trouble reaching my car seat, seatbelt, removing my T-shirts, sleeping on my side and limited on some exercise exercises at the gym. I had Physiotherapie for at least a good six months in shoulder did not really get better so I contacted Comeback Performance & Wellness For this 12 week program now I can reach my car seat belt. I can remove my T-shirt without any pain. I can sleep on my left side and my exercise exercises for shoulder exercise at the gym are better. I could say I healed at least 90% even I finished the 12 week program, I’m still using exercises to achieve my hundred percent. Thank you very much for helping me heal my shoulder.

Pierre, you crushed it with putting in the work and giving us the feedback week by week. The videos were helpful to allow us to make the changes to the programming. Keep up the hard work!
Where to start slight tare in my left shoulder (rotater cuff). For over a year and half I tried everything, 3 cortisone shots, plasma shots, nothing worked. At my giving up point ran across this P.T. add on YouTube. Why not you have tried everything . Had my assessment and they gave me the price and I was like ummmm. Went with it anyways because they were honest. They didnt say they could fix it they said the can work on making it better. At the time I had very little movement the pain was 7 to 10 most days. I tried the shots I didnt want surgery. I went all in. Started out very difficult was not sure about this online coaching. He was always there and answered all my questions. So first few weeks hurt really bad. Did almost every pt training. Started noticing no more pain all day no more pain when I drive when I walk. 3 months in I benched press for the first time in almost 2 years. Can't thank the team enough gave me some tools to work with got me feeling 100 % better. Pain is still there every now and then but its a 2 or a 1 and it goes away.....worth every dime....worth all the time to get better. Thank you.

Joseph, thank you for sharing all of the things that you tried. Your consistency was through the roof and you got the results. Keep it up!
Great people to work with! I learned more in 30 minutes with them than I did with the orthopedic surgeon. Really increased my mobility and helped build back strength with a custom workout routine. Dr Tommy is awesome!

Thank you for sharing your experience Andy!
For years, I kept telling myself my shoulder stiffness was just something I had to live with if I wanted to keep lifting. Every time I trained, it felt like I was working around my shoulder instead of actually training it.
Bench press and shoulder press were hit or miss, and getting into a back squat position was brutal. My shoulder felt so tight and painful that simply getting under the barbell was a challenge before the set even started.
I had tried physical therapy and other treatments in the past, but everything was always focused only on the shoulder itself. Nothing ever addressed why it kept tightening back up or why my mobility continued to decline.
What completely changed things was learning how much my thoracic spine and shoulder blades were contributing to the problem. Once we started working on those areas, everything began to move differently. My shoulder finally started to feel free instead of jammed.
Over the 12 weeks, my mobility improved more than I expected. I can now bench press and shoulder press comfortably again, and I am back squatting without fighting my shoulders just to get into position. I honestly have more mobility now than I did 10 years ago when my shoulder pain first started.
I was unsure about online rehab at first, but the structure made it extremely effective. The videos were clear, progress was tracked consistently, and changes were made based on how my body responded week to week.
This program was absolutely worth the investment. I am not only back training pain free, but I also have the tools to keep my shoulders healthy long term instead of guessing or pushing through pain.

Phil, thank you for the awesome review and sharing your story. This is a common presentation for a lot of our clients and you did the work we asked of you. Keep it up!
Before starting this program, I had been dealing with shoulder pain for a long time and was constantly being told different things by different providers. I had gone through physical therapy and tried other treatments, but nothing ever fully solved the issue. The pain was bad enough that it affected my sleep and would wake me up multiple times throughout the night, which was honestly one of the most frustrating parts.
What really surprised me during this process was learning that a big part of my shoulder pain was actually coming from nerve referral in my neck. That had never been explained to me before. Once we started addressing that instead of just treating the shoulder itself, things finally began to change.
I was unsure about doing rehab online at first, but the structure made it feel very personal. The daily tracking kept me consistent, the exercise videos were clear and easy to follow, and the Zoom calls allowed us to adjust things based on how I was feeling week to week. It felt far more customized than any in-person care I had done.
Over the 12 weeks, my pain steadily improved, my movement came back, and I started sleeping through the night again without shoulder pain waking me up. The biggest difference now is confidence. I understand what my body needs and have the tools to manage symptoms if they ever start to return.
This program did not just help get me out of pain, it helped me understand why I was in pain in the first place. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who feels stuck, misdiagnosed, or frustrated after trying everything else.

12 weeks flies by and you put in the work to get the results. Proud of the hard work and showing up each day, thank you for trusting us with your shoulder health.
This is a great program that has produced some solid results. I initially had shoulder and elbow pain that prevented me from completing strength training on a regular basis and my sleep was poor. After 3 months following this program, I am fully back to my training and sleep is consistently good.

Bill, you crushed it with consistency and doing the work. Keep up the hard work!
They helped me not only relieve the pain in my shoulders, but improve them and make them more resilient. I would highly recommend this program to anyone needing to improve their shoulder health, weather it’s reducing pain, or improving mobility, they are top shelf.

Appreciate you sharing this and giving us a 5 star google review. More resilient is key and the goal we want to take all of our clients through!
Before working with Shoulder Comeback, I had been dealing with ongoing shoulder pain and instability for a long time(around 5 years). I tried a lot of different things on my own and with other programs, made some progress, but never fully trusted my shoulder and kept running into setbacks. I’ll be honest, I was skeptical at first. The program started slower and simpler than I expected, and I wasn’t sure if it would be enough. But as the weeks went on and everything was adjusted based on how my shoulder was responding, it all clicked. What made Shoulder Comeback different was that there was no guesswork. Everything was based on how my shoulder was actually responding. The program starts simple, but it’s intentional. Through check-ins and feedback, they adjusted things based on what was working and what wasn’t instead of just throwing harder exercises at me. The results speak for themselves. My shoulder pain is gone, my sleep is better, and I’m back to working out & exercising with confidence. Daily life feels normal again, and I honestly feel stronger and more resilient than I ever did before my injury. I now understand my shoulder mechanics way better and trust my body again. If you’re stuck, frustrated, or feel like you’ve “tried everything” with your shoulders, this program gives real hope. I’m genuinely grateful I stuck with it, it gave me my comeback!

Dre, appreciate your sharing your thoughts and wins since working with us. The sleep, workout, and pain free wins are things we strive for with clients.
I was experiencing burning, pain and weakness in my left shoulder/bicep tendon for several months that affected my workouts. I came across an ad for Comeback Performance and reached out for information. I signed up for the 12 week program, downloaded the app and was assigned an online coach. The exercises were easy, done daily and documented weekly check- ins. It took several weeks to feel progress. I would recommend if you have tried everything as it is pricy.

Way to put in the work and get the results, keep up the hard work moving forward!
I had tried a lot of local and online PTs over the years, but when my shoulder pain started acting up again, I honestly didn’t expect much. I was just hoping to find something that might actually make a difference this time, instead of just managing the pain. I decided to give Comeback Performance & Wellness a shot, it felt like it could be worth a try.
The pain would flare up at the beginning of workouts and when reaching overhead, making some movements uncomfortable. I could manage it once I warmed up, but afterward, it lingered and slowed me down. The last time something like this happened was a few years ago, so I knew I needed a solution that actually worked long-term.
Even after signing up, I admit I kept thinking, “Will this really be different?” I’d spent time and money on programs that didn’t stick, so I wasn’t fully sure, but I decided to trust the process. Honestly, for what you get, the personalized guidance, the app, and the lasting results, Comeback Performance is incredible value. I’ve gained more from this program than I ever did from months of PT.
From the first session with Dr. Tommy, I could tell he understood what was going on. He guided me through practical ways to strengthen and move my shoulder safely. The program, especially through the app, made it easy to follow along, track progress, and fit exercises into my own schedule. Over the following weeks, the pain eased, and I started feeling more confident during workouts and daily activities.
If you’ve been struggling with shoulder issues and aren’t sure where to turn, I truly encourage giving Comeback Performance a try, the app and guidance finally made a difference for me.

Kristine, you crushed it and put the hard work in to get the results, thank you for trusting us with your shoulder journey!
I had been dealing with chronic pain in both shoulders for years from old injuries I never fully treated. I tried PT in the past, but it didn’t give me lasting results. Over time, I started lifting weights, which helped a bit, but every time I did bench presses, overhead presses, or other upper body workouts, my shoulders would ache, slowing my progress and reminding me how stubborn the injuries were. I even added mobility exercises and stretching to my routine, but it still felt like I was just managing the pain rather than actually fixing it.
I honestly thought I’d have to live with it. But after reaching out to Comeback Performance, everything changed. They helped me understand what was really happening in my shoulders and gave me a plan that fit my body and my routine. Slowly, I noticed improvements that actually stuck. Movements that used to hurt now feel controlled, and I can train without constantly worrying about my shoulders holding me back.
If you’ve been struggling like I was and feel like you’ve tried everything, I truly encourage you to reach out. I wasn’t sure it would work at first, especially after trying so many things before, but it ended up being completely worth it. This is what finally made a real difference for me.

Sony, thank you for the kind words. Nice job putting in the work each day and getting the stronger more mobile and stronger!
I reached to Comeback after months trying to self diagnose my shoulder pain. There is a lot of online help you, but it can get really confusing if you can’t even figure out the real issue you’re dealing with. After completing my virtual assessment, I received a proper diagnosis. I was nowhere near what I originally thought was my issue.
I began my rehab with Comeback immediately. I noticed a difference within my first week. I am an avid gym goer, and I was told I could keep working out, but just stay faithful to the program. So I did, and every week I got better. I had 1 setback mid way through, but Cooper was quick to respond and guide me through it. The setback was actually a blessing, as it helped Cooper tailor my program to be even more effective in my healing.
For those skeptical of on line rehab, I highly encourage you to take the leap. The program is daily, effective, and you will feel relief quickly. I’ve done in-person PT, but the time it takes to drive, receive treatment, and get home, you could’ve done this program in a quarter of the time.
The program is easy to follow, and includes videos. The app also allows you to communicate with your coach daily, or as needed. My coach was Cooper. We met several times online to assess progress and assist with my setback. Cooper was always quick to respond, friendly and eager to get me healed.
I could go on and on, but I will wrap this up by saying thank you to everyone at Comeback, and for those of you struggling and frustrated, make the call. You won’t regret it.

Marcia you crushed it with consistency and not being afraid to push it and test the shoulder. Thank you for the awesome review and allowing us to be part of your shoulder Comeback Journey!
Comeback Performance & Wellnes restored my left shoulder ROM and comfortable sleep. Prior to Comeback I was unsuccessful in restoring ROM to my left shoulder. I had tried my own rehab techniques and was discouraged by the lack of improvement. I follow Comeback Performance on ig and reluctantly reached out to them. I am forever grateful for the Comeback Performance & Wellness staff. They provided me with a rehab program that was conducive to my daily regiment and has given me 85 % use of my shoulder and full nights of painless sleep. Thank you for a wonderful program and for being attentive to my shoulder issue. I believe I'm well on my way to full use of my shoulder once I build my confidence to test its full capacity. I highly recommend Comeback Performance &Wellness 👌 💯
