Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) causes progressive shoulder stiffness and pain that worsens over months. The surrounding muscles compensate for the restricted joint by tightening defensively, creating a cycle of pain, guarding, and further restriction. Most sufferers in HCMC struggle to find effective local treatment.
Massage during frozen shoulder focuses on the compensating muscles around the joint — the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, pec minor, and neck muscles. Releasing these reduces the defensive guarding pattern and pain levels, improving quality of life and allowing more effective rehabilitation. We work around the joint, not directly on it.
Our therapists recommend these massage types for massage for frozen shoulder
Melt away stress you didn't even know you were carrying.
Why it helps: Heat relaxes the protective muscle guarding around the joint. Warming the trapezius, levator scapulae, and pec minor before manual work allows deeper release with less discomfort.
Release tension through targeted pressure point therapy.
Why it helps: Shiatsu's targeted pressure on the trigger points in muscles surrounding the frozen shoulder — without directly mobilizing the restricted joint — provides pain relief and releases compensating tension safely.
