May Is A Beautiful Time Of Year<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s MAY!!\u00a0\u00a0 Bring on the flowers that came from the April showers!<\/p>\n

Of course, here in Florida we have flowers all year, so it\u2019s our friends to the north that are enjoying a glorious array of color during this month.<\/p>\n

In some ways, life is beginning to slow down for us.\u00a0 With most of the snowbirds gone, driving is easier, the stores are less crowded, and we can park at the beach.\u00a0 The weather is still beautiful so we can still go outside to ride a bike, jog, or play the sports we enjoy. This leads me to talk about a new client who came in and needed frozen shoulder treatment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

\"\"<\/a>There are 15 muscles that insert into your shoulder, each pulling your arm in a different direction.\u00a0 The term \u201cFrozen Shoulder\u201d is used when a muscle gets so tight that it\u2019s difficult, or impossible to move in the opposite direction.\u00a0 Since there are 15 muscles pulling your shoulder and arm, the possibility of several of them going into spasm and preventing your arm from moving is huge. In fact, it\u2019s pretty amazing that it doesn\u2019t happen more often!<\/p>\n

Depending on how many muscles are involved, frozen shoulder can range from a minor inconvenience to the inability to move in any direction at all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pain Can Restrict Motion<\/h3>\n

Recently, a new client, Claire, came into my office with a frozen shoulder. Claire could only lift her arm to a point where it was horizontal to her shoulder, and she couldn\u2019t bring it backward at all.\u00a0 She was in a lot of pain and nothing she tried had worked. Fortunately, I am an expert at teaching people how to treat frozen shoulders and regain a full range of motion.<\/p>\n

I first learned how to treat a frozen shoulder when it happened to me in 1994.\u00a0 Every one of the muscles of my left shoulder went into a serious spasm\/contraction at the same time. I couldn\u2019t move my elbow more than 2\u201d away from my waistline!\u00a0 The pain was excruciating!\u00a0 I went to every type of practitioner I could imagine: massage (of course), physical therapy, orthopedic physician, chiropractor\u2026in fact I would have gone to a witch doctor if I could have found one.\u00a0 Nothing was working!<\/p>\n

Finally, I decided I needed to figure out how to self-treat the muscles that I knew were knotted up and holding my shoulder and arm bound.\u00a0 It took me from September until February to work it out and get my arm back to 100% range-of-motion, but I did it.\u00a0 I was thrilled, and I knew I had to teach this to everyone who has any shoulder pain. If you have my book, Treat Yourself to Pain-Free Living, <\/em>every shoulder treatment in that book came from my journey through pain.\u00a0 I know they all work!<\/p>\n

So, back to my new client.\u00a0 When I saw the movements Claire couldn\u2019t make, I knew that the muscles in the front of her shoulder were pulling her arm forward, and her latissimus dorsi muscle was pulling her arm down. As a result, she couldn\u2019t lift her arm or bring it back.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Frozen Shoulder Treatment<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>The next three pictures show you how to treat two of the most common muscles that cause shoulder pain.\u00a0 These are the muscles that were giving Claire so much trouble when she needed frozen shoulder treatment. You\u2019ll be using the Perfect Ball so you can really get to the muscles that are deep in the joint.<\/p>\n

If you are having trouble lifting your arm up, put the Perfect Ball into your opposite hand and following the picture, place it onto your shoulder blade.\u00a0 You need to move it so it\u2019s on the part of the bone that is the back part of your armpit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Move your body around until you hit a really tender point. That\u2019s the spasm in the latissimus dorsi that is preventing you from lifting your arm up.<\/p>\n

To treat the muscles (pectoralis minor and pectoralis major) that are preventing your arm from going back, you need to lean into the corner of a wall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As the picture demonstrates, put the Perfect Ball onto the front of your shoulder and lean into a wall.\u00a0 You can move the ball up and down by bending your knees a bit.<\/p>\n

If in either frozen shoulder treatment you want more pressure, move your feet further out from the wall.\u00a0 For less pressure have your feet closer to the wall.<\/p>\n

Why stay in pain when it\u2019s so easy to find the muscular source <\/em>of the problem and eliminate it?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Treat Yourself to Pain-Free Living <\/em>. It is filled with over 100 pictures and descriptions proven to show you how to find and self-treat muscle spasms from head to foot!<\/p>\n

Join the 1000\u2019s of people worldwide who have discovered that tight muscles were the true source of pains they thought were from arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other serious conditions.\u00a0 You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain by releasing tight muscles.<\/p>\n

Treat Yourself to Pain-Free Living <\/em>is your step-by-step guide to pain relief!<\/p>\n

Wishing you well,<\/p>\n
