Have you been held in the grip of Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that can cause excruciating pain and limited mobility in the shoulder joint. If you’ve ever experienced this condition, you know how it can impact your daily life and overall wellbeing. But what if there was a holistic approach that could help you find relief? Enter Body Harmony, a transformative modality that has offered hope and healing to many individuals suffering from frozen shoulder.
Understanding Frozen Shoulder
Before delving into how Body Harmony can assist in relieving frozen shoulder, let’s briefly explore what this condition entails. Frozen shoulder typically progresses through three stages:
- Freezing Stage: In this phase, you’ll experience pain and a gradual loss of motion in your shoulder. Activities like reaching for items on high shelves or even brushing your hair can become challenging.
- Frozen Stage: As the condition progresses, the shoulder joint becomes stiffer, and the pain may decrease, but your mobility is severely limited.
- Thawing Stage: In the final stage, your shoulder gradually begins to regain its range of motion. Full recovery can take several months to years.
The Role of Body Harmony
So, how can Body Harmony assist in alleviating the pain and immobility associated with frozen shoulder? Here’s how this holistic approach can make a significant difference:
1. Easing Muscle Tension and Pain
Frozen shoulder often leads to intense muscle tension and pain around the shoulder joint. Body Harmony practitioners use gentle, non-invasive touch and movement techniques to release tension and promote relaxation in the affected muscles. This can bring immediate relief from pain and discomfort.
2. Addressing Emotional Factors
What sets Body Harmony apart is its recognition of the emotional and energetic aspects of physical conditions. Frozen shoulder can sometimes be linked to emotional stress or unresolved feelings. Body Harmony sessions create a safe space for you to explore and release these emotional tensions, which can have a positive impact on your physical wellbeing.
3. Restoring Range of Motion
The restricted range of motion in a frozen shoulder can be frustrating and debilitating. Through skilled touch and movement, Body Harmony practitioners work with your body to gently coax it back to its natural range of motion. This can be particularly beneficial during the thawing stage of frozen shoulder recovery.
4. Holistic Approach to Healing
Body Harmony takes into account the whole person—physical, emotional, and energetic. By addressing all these aspects in unison, it promotes holistic healing rather than simply treating the symptoms.
The Journey to Freedom
If you’ve been struggling with the pain and limitations of frozen shoulder, Body Harmony offers a holistic and empowering path to recovery. While individual experiences may vary, many have found significant relief and improved mobility through this transformative modality.
Remember, your journey to freedom from frozen shoulder is unique to you. I tailor sessions to your specific needs and guide you toward healing, greater mobility, and overall well-being. I often prescribe natural remedies like Herbs, homoeopathics to help the body heal the injury, and Tissue Salts to address the mineral imbalances often present with frozen shoulder. This multilayered approach has helped numerous clients who have previously to regain movement and for the shoulder to thaw and recover.
Case studies
Case 1. John arrived and could barely move his arm. His range of motion was minimal, maybe 30 degrees, and he had been in pain for months. He had been to numerous therapists and physios with no effect. by the end of his first session he had experienced his shoulder move painlessly, and much increased range of movement above shoulder height. He was amazed, he hadn’t had that much change from any other treatment. We continued sessions over the next few months, pain reduced, and range continued to increase as his shoulder unthawed and returned to full range of movement.
Case 2. Linda got referred for frozen shoulder. She was in alot of pain, movement was difficult and it was affecting her ability to dress herself. I took her case and started to work with the affected shoulder. When I touched her shoulder a whole story unfolded, of emotions, conversations and more. It sounds strange, I know, but a whole gamet of emotions and experiences were trapped in the tissue. It was palpable. As we explored the feelings, sensations and emotions, her shoulder started to release and began its journey towards freedom of movement again.
Case 3. Michael had seen me previously for help with pain from old injuries, and when his shoulder froze, physio hadn’t helped, so he returned for more treatment. Over a series of treatments, his shoulder improved with range but he was experiencing nerve pain which wasn’t resolving as usually does when I treat frozen shoulder. I asked him to get a referral for further testing. His specialist found an issue in his neck that required an operation. After the operation and obligatory recovery time, he resumed sessions, and his movement returned, and pain resolved.
Don’t let frozen shoulder hold you back any longer. Explore the holistic approach of Body Harmony and take the first step toward reclaiming your shoulder’s freedom and vitality.
