If you have been experiencing pain, tightness, or a pinching sensation in your shoulder, especially when reaching overhead, you may be dealing with shoulder impingement syndrome. Many people also notice stiffness, weakness, or a loss of range of motion that makes everyday activities more difficult.
Shoulder impingement syndrome can develop for a variety of reasons. Repetitive overhead movements from activities such as swimming, tennis, volleyball, weight training, or certain work tasks can contribute to irritation within the shoulder joint. In some cases, a previous injury, poor posture, muscle imbalances, or even an individual's bone structure can increase the likelihood of developing impingement. The good news is that shoulder impingement is often treatable, and massage therapy can play an important role in recovery.
At Rooted Wellness & Spa, massage therapy for shoulder impingement is much different than a relaxation massage. Our therapists focus on the muscles and connective tissues that may be contributing to restricted movement and discomfort. Treatment may include targeted therapeutic massage, myofascial techniques, assisted stretching, and guided movement of the shoulder and arm to help restore mobility and reduce tension.
By improving tissue flexibility and reducing muscular restrictions around the shoulder, many clients experience less pain and greater range of motion. It is common for clients to notice an immediate difference in their ability to lift or rotate their arm following a session.
If you think you may be experiencing shoulder impingement syndrome but are unsure of the next step, massage therapy at Rooted Wellness & Spa may be right for you. Our experienced therapists can assess your movement, identify contributing factors, and help create a treatment plan designed to get you moving comfortably again.
