Is that really frozen shoulder?

When it's painful to shampoo your hair or put your arms around friends for a photo, the problem might be adhesive capsulitis. Known as frozen shoulder, this stiffness and soreness within your shoulder joint can last for as long as a year or even two years.
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), is an inflammation and stiffness of the connective tissues that surrounds the shoulder joint. Frozen shoulder causes formation of adhesion of the tissues in the shoulder, which severely restrict the movement of the shoulder, and causing chronic pain. This pain is usually constant, and worse at night and when the weather is colder. Also, the combination of the pain with the restricted movement can make even small daily tasks impossible. Furthermore, certain movements can trigger intense pain and cramping that can last a long time. The recovery for a Frozen Shoulder is slow, which causes great frustration for the patients and caregivers.
While your frozen shoulder will eventually go back to normal, Oberon Remedial Massage can make it easier to live with in the meantime. Various kinds of massage will relax muscles in the affected area. That means less chance of inflammation, which otherwise would cause tenderness and swelling.
In addition, regular massage therapy can help improve your range of motion. Tight joints restrict flexibility, but massage encourages blood flow to underlying tissues that need the nutrients delivered by fresh, oxygen-rich blood.
