Still Can't Sleep On That Shoulder? Find Out Why It Hasn't Healed, And What We Do About It.
A free class for people whose shoulder pain keeps hanging around. Rotator cuff problems, a stiff or frozen shoulder, bursitis, the ache that started with one bad serve or one heavy box. Where the pain actually comes from, why the usual fixes tend to wear off, and how we treat the damaged tissue from the very first visit. In person only.

What You'll Walk Away With
Three things you'll get out of the 90 minutes.
Where your shoulder pain actually starts
The shoulder is where it hurts. A lot of the time the problem is also in your upper back, your shoulder blade, your neck, or the way you've been reaching for years. We'll show you how to trace it.
What it takes to heal a tendon
Strengthening builds the support around a sore rotator cuff. It's real and I prescribe it every day. It doesn't repair the tendon itself. We'll show you what we use for that part, and what the research behind it says.
A next step for your shoulder
You leave that night with something specific to do for your shoulder.
In-person class: no recording will be sent.
These classes get interactive fast. People describe their own MRI, their own surgery recommendation, the arm they stopped lifting over their head two years ago. Nothing from that room goes out afterward, to anybody. There's no replay link and no recording to catch up on later. The tradeoff is that you have to actually show up, and what you get is the version that never leaves the room.
Sound Familiar?
Come if any of this is you.
Golfers, tennis and pickleball players, people who lift, parents who carry kids all day, and people who just want to reach the top shelf again. You don't have to be an athlete to be in the room.
You can't sleep on that side, and rolling over at 2am wakes you up.
Reaching overhead, behind your back, or into the back seat hurts or just doesn't go anymore.
You had a cortisone shot. It helped for a while.
Your MRI says "tear" and somebody brought up surgery. You'd like a second opinion first.
You already had shoulder surgery, did the rehab, and it still isn't right.
You've heard about shockwave, EMTT, or hyperbarics and want someone credible to explain what they do, and who they're not for.
Why Nothing Has Stuck
Here's what you've probably already tried.
None of this was a dumb idea. Most of it is what any reasonable person would do, and some of it is what I would have told you early in my career. It just leaves the damaged tissue untreated.
Rest and "give it time"
You stop doing the thing that hurts. It calms down. You start again and it comes right back, usually at the same spot in the motion. Rest takes the load off for a while, and then you're back where you started.
Cortisone
Here's where I'll take a side. For a shoulder with a tendon problem, I think cortisone gets handed out too easily. It is very good at turning pain down for a while, and when you can't sleep, that matters. I'm not going to pretend otherwise. But it doesn't build tissue, and a rotator cuff that stopped hurting for six weeks is still the same rotator cuff. We see a lot of people who are on their second or third shot and wondering why each one wears off faster.
The MRI
Plenty of people over 50 have rotator cuff tears on an MRI and no pain at all. A picture of a tear is one piece of information, and it's rarely the whole story of why your shoulder hurts.
PT that was a band and a sheet of stick figures
Fifteen minutes with a provider, forty-five with an aide, and a home program you stopped doing in week three.
How We Actually Treat It
We Don't Just Treat Around The Problem. We Heal The Source, From The Start.
Three things, running at the same time, starting at visit one.
Hands
A doctor's hands on you for 30 to 60 minutes. Finding what's stiff, what's guarding, and what your neck and shoulder blade have been doing to cover for it.
Exercise
Loading built for your shoulder and your life. This fixes the cause: the weak link, the posture, the way you've been compensating. It's most of what rehab is, and we take it seriously.
Regen
EMTT and focused shockwave, aimed at the source: the damaged tendon or tissue. No needles and no downtime.
Why we start regenerative therapy at visit one instead of after you plateau.
Most clinics that own this equipment treat it as a last resort. Try the normal stuff for two months, and if the shoulder still hurts, roll out the machine. I think that's backwards. Hands and exercise rebuild the strength and the pattern around the problem. What they can't do is repair a degenerated tendon at the cellular level. That's the source, it needs its own tool, and waiting two months to start just means the tendon went two months with nothing treating it directly.
What's At Stake
A bad shoulder takes things one at a time.
First the overhead stuff. Then the sport. Then putting on a jacket.
Your Presenters
The two doctors teaching this one.
Ninety minutes, about twelve people, and the doctors who would actually be treating your shoulder.
Dr. Jason Han, DPT
Doctor of Physical Therapy, Board Certified Sports Clinical Specialist, former U.S. National Team in Taekwondo. I competed at a level where nobody tells you to rest and hope. You get a diagnosis, a plan, and the best tools available, and it starts that week. Then I opened a clinic and found out that's not how most people with a bad shoulder get treated. HealthFit is my attempt to fix that.
Dr. Wayne Wu, DPT
Wayne is the one who won't let a case go. He keeps digging into the why behind somebody's pain well past the point where most clinicians would have started treating something. If your shoulder keeps flaring back up, he's the person you want looking at it, because a shoulder that keeps coming back is a diagnosis problem before it's a treatment problem. He's leading the class and covering where shoulder pain actually starts.
30 to 60 minutes with an actual doctor. The whole session. Every session. This is the thing patients notice first.
EMTT and focused shockwave in the building. Focused, not just radial, and there's a real difference.
We test before we recommend. Nothing gets sold on the spot.
PT, chiropractic, regen, hyperbarics, testing. One roof, one team, no runaround.
Pro-level standards for people who aren't pros. That's why I built the place.
Right here in Pasadena. On Vista Ave, with our own parking out front.
What You'll Learn
The Five Things We'll Cover
There's some science in here. The science isn't the point. The point is what it means for your shoulder.
Where shoulder pain really comes from
Rotator cuff, frozen shoulder, bursitis, impingement. Dr. Wu walks through each one and where it tends to start, which often includes your upper back, your shoulder blade, and how you've been moving for years.
Source and Cause
The cause is how you move and how you load. The source is the tissue that's actually damaged. Treat one and skip the other and you get a shoulder that feels great for six weeks and then doesn't. The whole class runs on this.
What EMTT and focused shockwave do to a shoulder
Plain English, no hype. What it feels like, how many sessions, where the evidence is strong and where it isn't, and how to tell if you're a candidate. Plenty of people aren't, and we'll tell you that in the room.
The questions to ask before your next shot or surgery
Before you spend another dollar or schedule anything, know what to ask any provider, us included.

No replay and no "we'll send you the link" afterward. If you want the room you have to be in the room.
Proof
You'll hear real cases, not a wall of quotes.
Most clinics hand you a page of five-star reviews and hope you take their word for it. We'd rather walk you through actual shoulders we've treated and let you ask about them.
Real patient cases
Actual shoulders from our own clinic. What was wrong, what we found that nobody had looked at, what we did, and how long it took. Including the ones that didn't go the way we expected, because those are usually the more useful ones to hear.
