Frozen shoulder workbook : trigger point therapy for overcoming pain & regaining range of motion
Frozen shoulder, the syndrome name for several joint and tendon-related symptoms, is experienced as a loss of motion and pain in the shoulder and upper arm. It is most often observed in women between the ages of forty and sixty and individuals with type-two diabetes. Traditional medical treatments for the condition, which rely on painkillers, steroid injections, and physical therapy, often do little to moderate symptoms or speed recovery. Trigger point therapy, a gentle massage technique that targets localized areas of tenderness in soft tissue, has been used very successfully to relieve pain, restore range of motion, and shorten recovery times
