PEOPLE SAY IT REALLY WORKS.

Rachel listened to what was important to me, and pushed me in ways I couldn't expect. Now that I understand what my shoulder needs to be healthy, I can move forward as a better, pain-free athlete.

I gave up on physical therapy before when nothing was working for my shoulder pain. Rehabbing with Rachel was exactly what was missing. Now, I feel like an athlete again. I'm glad I gave it another shot!

Hi, Im DR. Rachel Caban, PT, DPT and I believe Volleyball players deserve sport-specific care

…and we usually can’t find it! After playing collegiately and professionally, I realized how much stress the shoulder takes on during volleyball and how generalized our training advice has been. 

Imagine getting high-quality physical therapy advice through the lens of a volleyball professional. Someone who understands what you’ve been through, and wants better for you. You are my colleagues, former teammates, training partners, best friends, and people who deserve sport-specific care so you can play as long as you want to play. You are why I created Better Shoulder Physical Therapy.

 If you’ve been missing a challenging program thats research-based and tailored for your sport, you’re not alone. To help you make sense of all the advice you’ve been given, bring you research-based injury prevention strategies, and put it all in one place, I’ve written a book just for you! With over 120 exercises laid out in injury rehab and training progressions, you’ve got so much to gain.
