📚 Case Study: Worsening Shoulder Strain
My client here, came to me with persistent shoulder pain that had been getting worse since he first strained it two weeks ago while working. Initially, the discomfort was mild, but over time, it developed into stiffness, aching, and sharp pain with certain movements, particularly around the rear delt.
Given the physical demands of his job, I also focused on his erectors and mid-to-lower back, as tension in these areas was likely contributing to his discomfort. By working on the posterior shoulder, upper back, and surrounding muscle groups, I aimed to relieve strain and restore mobility.
To help ease the pain, I used slow, controlled deep tissue techniques to target tension in the rear delt and surrounding muscles. Specific pressure work helped break down stubborn knots, while gradual stretching techniques encouraged better movement and reduced tightness.
By the end of the session, he felt less tension, greater mobility, and a noticeable drop in pain levels. Injuries from manual work can linger without proper treatment—addressing them early makes all the difference! 💪🏼
