Shoulder Pain & Frozen Shoulder
Clinical Overview
Shoulder rehabilitation at JSK targets adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) and rotator cuff tendinopathy. We restore joint capsule flexibility, resolve painful overhead reach restrictions, and relieve throbbing night pain using manual joint distraction and targeted loading.
Challenges We Resolve
Capsular Adhesions & Lockout
Thickening and tightening of the shoulder capsule, blocking overhead lifting, reaching behind the back, or dressing.
Throbbing Shoulder Night Pain
Severe, aching pain when lying on the affected shoulder, leading to sleep disruption and daily fatigue.
Rotator Cuff Impingement
Pinching of tendons under the shoulder bone, causing sharp pain when raising the arm sideways.
JSK's Treatment Methodology
Glenohumeral Joint Distraction
Performing gentle manual glides to stretch the tight capsule, immediately expanding passive arm rotation angles.
Rotator Cuff Tendon Loading
Using progressive resistance bands to strengthen rotator cuff muscles, restoring active overhead reach strength.
Scapular Stability Training
Re-training the shoulder blade muscles (serratus anterior) to move in harmony with the arm bone, avoiding impingement.
Pulley & Mobility Assist Exercises
Utilizing overhead pulleys and shoulder wheels to guide active-assisted stretches within a pain-free range.
