How to massage for frozen shoulder

The first step is to relax the muscles. The patient can be in sitting position, lateral recumbent position, or sitting position. First, use the rolling method, kneading method, and the holding and kneading method to act on the anterior and posterior parts of the shoulder as well as the lateral side of the shoulder. Use the three fingers of the thumb, index finger and middle finger of the right hand to pinch the deltoid muscle, acting vertically on the direction of the muscle fibers and plucking. Then pluck the supraspinatus and pectoralis muscles near the painful point to fully relax the muscles. In the second step, the tui-na practitioner holds the shoulder with the left hand and holds the patient’s hand with the right hand, making pulling, shaking and rotating movements. In the third step, the patient is helped to do abduction, adduction, forward flexion and backward extension to release the muscle adhesions and help restore the movement function of the shoulder joint. The patient should cooperate and avoid confrontation to avoid dislocation and further injury to the shoulder joint due to violent pushing. It is recommended that treatment be given every other day, with 10 sessions as a course of treatment.
