Shoulder complex work
Freeing up tissue in and around the shoulder is one of those things that can make a huge difference in range of motion and pain. Its not always the most fun. There are some sensitive areas, especially if there are restrictions in the tissue. Whether they're from fascia or scar tissue or muscle spasm. Areas that don't get "worked on" or have external pressure put on them have less tolerance (more sensitive/ more tender)
This is one of the reasons the longer someone puts off or ignores an issue the more tender that area is. The body protects around it, restricts movement, compensates, adapts a new pattern, changes leverage points, and uses muscles that may not be fully prepared to take on this new load. Then cycle can repeat. Making areas more and more sensitive.
The idea here, as I'm working on someone is to free up space, mobilize the shoulder joint, free up tissue, allow some activation (loading) in safe areas, decrease the sensitivity and protective reactions that may stall recovery and healing. While increasing the circulation which helps the healing process as well.
If your goal is to recover better, move better, and feel better in 2026 reach out, leave a comment, or shoot me a message.
