Trigger Point Therapy Protocol for Shoulder Pain Video / DVD + PDF Guide
Description: Because of the unique structural and functional characteristics of the shoulder joint, effectively treating shoulder pain complaints can be a rather complex task. One factor contributing to this complexity is the fact that functionally, the “shoulder joint” consists of the synchronous interplay of two joints; the gleno-humeral and the scapulo-thoracic. The development of this protocol took several years to complete, with numerous revisions and modifications along the way. We consider it an essential tool for any successful clinical or sports-centric practice.
Pain Complaints Addressed With This Protocol:
- Frozen Shoulder: Also known as “Adhesive Capsulitis, the hallmark of this condition is a grossly restricted range of motion in the shoulder joint. Trigger point activity in the Subscapularis and other Rotator cuff muscles can effectively mimic the dysfunctional characteristics of this disorder and also proves to be more painful than true Adhesive Capsulits.
- Rotator Cuff Sprain/Strain: Trigger point activity in the rotator cuff muscle group is an extremely common source of symptoms associated with shoulder sprain or strain. Over time, the increased muscle tension that is created by trigger point activity can result in inflammation of and even tears in the tendons of this muscle group. If rotator cuff tears are severe enough, surgery will be required to repair them. If the tears are small and acute in duration, then trigger point therapy can be of great use in restoring the full functioning of the shoulder joint
- Scapulahumeral Syndrome: Better known as a “catch” in the shoulder joint, this condition results from a tensional imbalance in the rotator cuff and scapular muscle groups. Coordination between movements of the scapula and the glenohumeral joint is distorted, causing the head of the humerous to pinch the synovial tissues, causing severe pain. Release of the trigger points in the muscle groups can restore the proper functioning of the joint.
- Subdeltoid or Subacromial Bursitis: Local tenderness associated with trigger points in the Deltoid and Teres Minor muscles can easily mimic the tenderness associated with bursitis, causing a likely misdiagnosis.
