\"frozen<\/a>Recently I\u2019ve had a client coming to me for frozen shoulder pain treatment.\u00a0 \u201cMary\u201d is suffering from \u201cFrozen Shoulder.\u201d\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t sound so bad, but don\u2019t let the simple diagnosis hide the fact that this condition causes more than just pain. Mary\u2019s shoulder joint was so frozen that she had minimal range-of-motion in any direction, and sleeping was a nightmare!\u00a0 Regardless of which way she slept \u2013 on her back or side, the ache would wake her up several times a night, often in tears from the pain.<\/p>\n

Physical therapy wasn\u2019t helping at all. Her frozen shoulder kept getting worse, and the only relief she had from the pain was by taking strong pain-killing drugs. The all-too-real fear of opioid addiction caused her to only take the drugs when the pain was unbearable.\u00a0 She is a hairstylist so this situation was having a very negative effect on her income and future. On a more personal note, it certainly wasn\u2019t helping her intimate relationship with her husband. She was getting frantic for a solution.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the client of a co-worker had come to my office when she was in pain, and she gave Mary my card.\u00a0 That was the beginning of a long journey, but one that is helping her more than she\u2019d ever imagined possible.<\/p>\n

What Causes A Frozen Shoulder?<\/h2>\n

\"frozen<\/a>Your shoulder has more muscle attachments than any other joint in your body. Several muscles don\u2019t attach right into your shoulder joint, but as they pull on your arm or shoulder blade, your shoulder moves.\u00a0 This is the reason that your shoulder and arm can move in so many directions.\u00a0\u00a0 More than 15 muscles need to all work together to enable you to have a full range-of-motion with your shoulder and arms.<\/p>\n

Frozen shoulder is caused by several, or many, of these muscles all being held taut because of multiple spasms.\u00a0 When one muscle contracts, another must lengthen to allow for the contraction.<\/p>\n

For example, when you are swimming and the muscles of your chest are pulling your shoulders\/arms forward, the muscles of your back need to lengthen. And, when you want to reach back to take a tennis swing, the muscles of your chest must lengthen.\u00a0 Or, when you want to lift your arm up to reach the top of your closet, the muscles that bring your arm down must lengthen. But, when you reach down to pick something up from the floor, the muscles on top of your shoulder must lengthen.\u00a0 It\u2019s always a matter of opposing muscles both needing to do their part in order for you to move your shoulder and arm.<\/p>\n

Frozen Shoulder Pain Treatment<\/h2>\n

\"frozen<\/a>Actually, there are too many treatments for me to cover in detail in this short article. If you have been receiving Health Tips from the Professor <\/em>for some time, you have many of my treatments from previous blogs.<\/p>\n

Basically, if you have stiffness in your shoulder, you need to look at the movements you can\u2019t <\/em>make. Next, think about the opposing muscle that needs to be lengthened in order to make that movement. This is the muscle that needs to be treated to start to release your frozen shoulder.<\/p>\n

One treatment you can do is for your infraspinatus muscle. This is the muscle that pulls your arm back.<\/p>\n

Put a ball on the belly\u00a0of the muscle, which is at the center of your shoulder blade, and apply pressure. Hold the pressure for about a minute, release for 5 seconds, and repeat.\u00a0 Do this several times and then stretch that muscle.<\/p>\n

To help people eliminate pain and stretch safely, I created a program called Focus Flexibility Training<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. This DVD program shows you how to treat all of the muscles of your shoulder and a whole lot more.<\/p>\n

When it comes to Frozen Shoulder pain treatment, you\u2019ll ultimately need to treat most, if not all of your shoulder muscles.\u00a0 It\u2019s not a fast treatment, but it does work.<\/p>\n

Wishing you well,<\/p>\n
