We will cover advanced massage techniques for treating a complex frozen shoulder:

• Evaluate joint and soft tissue immobility with special attention to the biceps long head
• Assess upper trapezius, scalene, and sternocleidomastoid for trigger points
• Biceps Belly Technique
• Acromioclavicular joint technique
• Deep tissue trigger points: posterior and anterior of lateral upper extremity
• Assess scapula and glenohumeral junction trigger points
• Work in between the long head biceps and the short head biceps looking for bumps in the road

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

• Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis
  • Primary muscle involved in tennis elbow.
  • Focus on reducing tension and trigger points.

• Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus
  • Often involved in compensatory patterns.
  • Massage to relieve tension and improve function.

• Extensor Digitorum
  • Can contribute to lateral epicondylitis.
  • Address muscle tightness and adhesions.

• Supinator
  • Involved in forearm supination.
  • Release tightness to improve forearm mobility.

Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

• Flexor Carpi Radialis
  • Major muscle involved in golfer’s elbow.
  • Target for deep tissue massage and trigger point release.

• Pronator Teres
  • Contributes to medial elbow pain.
  • Release trigger points and reduce tension.

• Flexor Carpi Ulnaris
  • Can be involved in medial epicondylitis.
  • Address muscle tightness and adhesions.

• Palmaris Longus
  • Often involved in compensatory patterns.
  • Focus on reducing tension and improving function.

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) / Shoulder Impingement

• Subscapularis
  • Often has trigger points contributing to shoulder pain.
  • Release to improve internal rotation and overall shoulder mobility.

• Infraspinatus
  • Common site of trigger points and tension.
  • Address to enhance external rotation and reduce impingement.

• Supraspinatus
  • Involved in shoulder abduction.
  • Release to alleviate impingement symptoms.

• Pectoralis Minor
  • Can cause anterior shoulder tightness.
  • Release to improve shoulder posture and reduce impingement.
    

• Levator Scapulae
  • Often tight and contributes to shoulder sti^ness.
  • Release to improve scapular mobility and reduce neck tension.

• Teres Minor
  • Involved in external rotation.
  • Address to improve shoulder mechanics.

• Biceps Brachii (long head)
  • Can contribute to shoulder impingement.
  • Release tension to improve shoulder function.

• Deltoid (particularly anterior and posterior fibers)
  • Address to improve shoulder mobility and function.
