Treatment for Frozen Shoulder in Geelong

What is Frozen Shoulder?

The shoulder joint is made of bones, tendons and ligaments that are surrounded by a capsule of connective tissue. Frozen shoulder, scientifically known as Adhesive Capsulitis, is the thickening and tightening of this capsule that leads to the formation of scar tissue, making shoulder movements painful and restricted. ​
The symptoms of frozen shoulder generally occur in three stages, each stage lasting for several months. In the freezing stage, one experiences sharp pain which starts to limit the motion of the arm. The frozen stage is marked by a decrease in pain but an increase in stiffness which restricts movement of the arm and shoulder even further. Finally, in the thawing stage, the range of motion of the arm begins to improve.

What Causes Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen Shoulder is found to occur in those who have had to restrict the movement of their arm for a long period of time either due to injury, pain, surgery like mastectomy or chronic health conditions such diabetes or a stroke. People between the ages of 40 to 70 years old are more prone to getting diagnosed with Frozen Shoulder and the condition affects postmenopausal women more than men.

When to Seek Treatment for Frozen Shoulder?

Bowen Therapy treatment can be very effective at reducing the pain experienced with frozen shoulder, improving the range of movement, and considerably shortening the recovery period. Bowen therapy works to release the layers of connective tissue (fascia) that are sticking together, causing the frozen shoulder, and improvement is usually experienced after the first session.

In a Study done on the effectiveness of Bowen Therapy on Frozen shoulder by the Clinical Nursing Practice Research Unit at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston (UK), the Median 'worst pain' pre-therapy score reduced from 7 (mean 7, range 1-10) to a median 'worst pain' score of 1 (mean 1.45, range 0-5) post-therapy.  It was found that all participants of the trail experienced improvement in their daily activities,  even those with a very longstanding history of frozen shoulder.​

I preferred the thing you said about how specialists can function with an individual's aggravation edge as they mend so there is negligible uneasiness and torment while reestablishing development and capability of muscles. My cousin has been pondering going to see an expert since she was running a day or two ago and she moved her lower leg however presently it's enlarged such a lot of that she can't handle on it. Getting some assistance from somebody who will actually want to help her speed herself and not hurt herself while attempting to hop once more into running could be truly valuable.

    Whilst I believe it's excellent to be involved with your own health, it's important to know only medical doctors can perform a medical diagnosis.
