FROZEN SHOULDER

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition in which the shoulder joint becomes stiff and painful, making it difficult to move the arm. Massage therapy can be helpful in treating frozen shoulder by improving blood flow, reducing muscle tension and inflammation, and increasing range of motion. Here are some massage treatments that may be beneficial:

Deep Tissue Massage: This type of massage uses slow, deep pressure to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It can help break up scar tissue and adhesions in the shoulder joint, which can contribute to frozen shoulder.

Trigger Point Therapy: This technique involves applying pressure to specific points in the muscle to release tension and alleviate pain. Trigger points can develop in the shoulder muscles due to the limited range of motion associated with frozen shoulder.

Myofascial Release: This technique involves applying sustained pressure to the connective tissue that surrounds the muscles, known as fascia. It can help release tension and improve mobility in the shoulder joint.

Swedish Massage: This type of massage uses long, flowing strokes to promote relaxation and reduce muscle tension. It can be beneficial in reducing overall stress and tension in the body, which can contribute to frozen shoulder.
