Foam Roller & Frozen Shoulder

As a Registered Massage Therapist, I see a lot of clients with shoulder issues like “Rotator Cuff Syndrome” which can potentially lead to “Frozen Shoulder” also known as “Adhesive Capsulitis” due to the lack of movement in the shoulder caused by pain. When the tissue around the muscle called myofascia is under a repetitive strain or when a trauma has occurred, it can tear and adhear together. These adhesions are called “trigger points” and can prevent the muscles of the shoulder to move freely and cause muscle stiffness and decrease range of motion.
