Frozen shoulder massage

For a frozen shoulder, massage therapy, particularly deep-tissue massage and trigger point massage, can help relax muscles, reduce pain, and improve circulation, potentially aiding in restoring mobility and function.  

Benefits

• Muscle Relaxation: Massage techniques like effleurage (long, sweeping strokes) and petrissage (kneading and compression) can help relax the muscles around the shoulder joint, reducing tension and stiffness. 

• Pain Relief: By improving circulation and reducing muscle tension, massage can help alleviate pain associated with frozen shoulder. 

• Improved Circulation: Massage can increase blood flow to the affected area, which can help deliver nutrients and oxygen to the tissues, promoting healing and reducing inflammation. 

• Scar Tissue Release: Deep-tissue massage can help break down scar tissue or adhesions that may be contributing to the stiffness and pain of frozen shoulder. 

• Trigger Point Massage: Targeting specific areas of tension and pain in the shoulder muscles can help to alleviate pain and improve function.
