Massage Therapy
for Shoulder Pain
Therapeutic massage of the shoulder, upper back, and neck musculature reduces pain and improves range of motion for muscle-tension and myofascial shoulder pain.
How it works
Releases trigger points in the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and rotator cuff muscles. Improves local blood flow and reduces the muscular guarding that limits shoulder mobility.
What to watch for
Most appropriate for the muscular component of shoulder pain. Should not be applied directly to acutely inflamed tendons or bursae. Best combined with targeted exercise for lasting benefit.
