A 33-year-old female presented with progressively worsening left upper quarter symptoms for 3 years following cardiac pacemaker surgery. She received orthopedic manual physical therapy including thoracic and glenohumeral mobilizations, neurodynamic techniques, and therapeutic exercises over 7 weeks. She demonstrated improvements in range of motion, strength, and pain scales and was able to return to work and activities without difficulty. The multimodal physical therapy approach seemed to produce effective long-term relief of her complex symptoms.
