Shoulder pain

How myofascial release for shoulder pain works

The shoulder depends on the tissue around it to move freely. When the chest, the front of the shoulder and the Fascia of the arm tighten, the shoulder blade tips forward and reaching overhead or behind the back becomes harder and achier. Releasing that tissue gives the joint room to move again.

The Fascia involved

The Arm Lines and the shoulder

Four Arm Lines run from the fingers across the shoulder into the chest and upper back. Gripping, typing, pressing in the gym and carrying children all load them. Tension in the forearm or the chest changes the pull on the shoulder from below and in front, so the whole arm is treated.

Session

Your myofascial release session for shoulder pain

Reach overhead, across the body and behind the back is measured on both sides. James works from the hand and forearm to the upper arm, the chest and front of the shoulder, the rotator cuff and the muscles around the shoulder blade. Reach is checked again at the end.

Between sessions

Keeping your shoulders moving between sessions

Stand in a doorway with your forearms on the frame and lean gently forward for 30 seconds to open the chest. Slow arm circles and sliding the hand up a wall to a comfortable height keep the shoulder moving without strain.

A tennis ball between the shoulder blade and a wall, leaning for a minute, keeps the muscles around the blade supple.
