Smile Recover quickly

I have had physical therapy at Lake Centre (that's the way they spell it) for Rehab at Lake Sumter Landing, at The Club up near the Mulberry recreation center and at Freedom Pointe (yep, their spelling) across from The Villages Hospital.

Since my therapy was for spinal issues, not the shoulders, I didn't pay much attention to any machines that would be used for shoulder therapy. I believe that on balance The Club would win out. They have at least three machines for upper body. I can think of only one that Freedom Pointe has, and can't recall what Lake Centre has. Of course, all three also have theraband (like a big rubber band) that can be used for a variety of exercises.

I found the therapists at Freedom Pointe and Lake Centre to be more consistent than at The Club; that is to say I generally got the same person to treat me at those two and they got to know me and to pressure me for improvement.

For a period of time I had physical therapy given to me by therapists who came to the house but I'm assuming that you are able to go to a facility.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
