The “hand shaking method” is also one of the effective basic methods to treat frozen shoulder. Through the “hand shaking” exercise, the range of motion of the shoulder joint can be increased and the soft tissue adhesions can be released to achieve the purpose of healing. 1. Method 1: Patients stand in a standing position and take the initiative to complete the “circle exercise” of the shoulder joint on one side of the body. The specific requirements are: the upper limb on the affected side drops down, then from the bottom up, from front to back, do 10-15 circles of clockwise movement, then change to 10-15 circles of counterclockwise movement, alternately, 2-4 times a day, or anytime. (1) The circle should be as large as possible, with the elbow joint straightened and the shoulder joint lifted to the limit. If the shoulder joint cannot be lifted to the limit, the effect of the circular motion will not be good. (2) The shoulder joint should be lifted to its limit during the circle exercise, which is marked by pain in the shoulder joint. If the patient has pain in the shoulder joint during the exercise, and the degree of pain is within the tolerable range, it means that the purpose of exercise therapy has been achieved. If there is no pain or only mild pain in the shoulder joint on the affected side during the exercise, it means that the shoulder joint is not lifted properly and the treatment is not effective. (3) The speed of the affected limb should not be too fast for the garden circle exercise. It is not suitable for middle-aged and elderly patients with frozen shoulder because the speed of movement is too fast to relieve the adhesions and the patient’s physical exertion is relatively large. 2. Method 2: The patient stands in a standing position and bends at about 90 degrees. The upper limb on the affected side drops down and does a garden circle exercise in front of the body. The specific requirements are: first 10-15 circles clockwise, then 10-15 circles counterclockwise, alternating between 2-4 times a day for 5-15 minutes each time, or anytime. Patients can do the same exercise with a heavy object (e.g. dumbbell, sandbag, hammer, etc.) in their hands on the basis of completing the bending circle exercise with their empty hands. When applying this method to treat frozen shoulder, it should be noted that: (1) The weight of the weight held should be appropriate, about 0.5-2 kg. The weight should be selected according to the patient’s age, weight, arm strength, physical fitness and other factors to prevent upper limb and shoulder joint sports injuries caused by excessive weight. (2) The speed of rowing the garden circle should not be too fast to prevent the weights from coming off due to excessive speed and causing danger. (3) older or lumbar disease patients should carefully choose the method to prevent induced lumbar pain, lumbar soft tissue injury and acute lumbar sprain and other diseases. 3. Method 3: The patient stands in a standing position and bends at about 90 degrees. The whole body is relaxed and both upper limbs are naturally lowered. The patient will swing the body from side to side, driving the arms to swing with it. Swing from small to large, and then from large to small after reaching the swing limit. Repeat for 20-50 times. 4. Method 4: The patient stands in a standing position and bends at about 90 degrees. The whole body is relaxed and both upper limbs are naturally lowered. The patient makes the arms swing back and forth by swaying the body. Swing from small to large, and then from large to small. Repeat for 20-50 times. Both method 3 and method 4 are used to release shoulder joint adhesions through passive movements of the shoulder joint. This exercise therapy should not be chosen for elderly and weak patients and those with unstable blood pressure. The reason is that longer bending and head-down exercises are prone to adverse reactions such as dizziness, blurred vision, unstable standing and blood pressure fluctuations.
