More about Run and Become

Aware that this is a common complaint, Benedetta recently undertook a specialist massage course on treating shoulder girdle pain, including frozen shoulder.

Essential to effective treatment is a diagnosis so that she can work out which muscles might be the problem and need to be worked on. Questions Benedetta will ask you during the consultation include:

Trigger points in the muscle which covers the outside of the shoulder blade. From the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook.

• Where is the pain at the moment?
• What movement or action makes it worse?
• How long has it been going on?
• What caused the problem? if known
• Have you been to the doctor and been diagnosed?
• Have you had an x-ray or MRI scan?

Frozen shoulder treatment may include trigger point therapy, myofascial release and stretching.

She will also give you stretching homework and teach you how to do trigger point therapy yourself, along with appropriate application of heat, cold, or both.
