Froxen shoulder

TomTom

I'm hoping this is the right place for this.

I was just in with a masseuse in work due to pains in my shoulders and she said I have a thing called frozen shoulder in both. She asked me to go to a sports therapist for a few sessions to clear it up. I live in Offaly so looking for recommendations of places between Dublin and Offaly to get this sorted as soon as possible as its getting more painfull and I'm getting married soon. Also how much does a therapist charge for that sort of treatment?

Cheers
Tom

tom my old man is 57 and he has it aswell and he was told its down to ear and tear

2 options he was given was

1. physiotherapy ( apologies for spelling )
2. cortizone injection when u need to get after a few months again and again etc

he goes to a great physio that looks after the irish rugby team , mark mc cabe is his name

but my dad knows him through the cycling business as he does alot of cycling and thats how they got to know each other.

hope this helps

Are you sure it is frozen shoulder? What type of masseuse were they?

What range of movement do you have, can you lift your arm from by your side to horizontal and above?

For Frozen should, physical treatment is best.

Try The Priory Clinic in Stillorgan. http://www.iptas.com
There's a student clinic on monday and wednesday nights. You will be treated by a team of students who are under the supervision of a clinical supervisor. The 3rd year will have plenty of techniques to treat your shoulder. Costs only €30 per treatment

Hmmm I know Mark looks after some of the players, but I didn't think he was the teams physio? As far as I know he did look after some of the underage teams tho?

Lil Smiler, basicly when I move my head right or left I get darting pains form my shoulder blade up to my neck or through to my chest. When I move my arms above horozintal its very painfull and i generall get pains in my head. I still have movment but its painfull. I do not have the full range of movement though.

Tom,

If you can lift your arm that high, it probably isn't frozen shoulder. I've treated it a good number of times in my clinic - in a true case of frozen shoulder, shoulder range of motion is severely restricted. It wouldn't generally happen in both shoulders at the same time. It tends to come on for no apparent reason, and it's not uncommon for it to last for months - it wouldn't be something that could be sorted out with a few visits to a physio.

I'd recommend going to either a GP or well-respected physio to obtain a proper diagnosis first. I commonly see office workers come in with postural strain of the neck and shoulder muscles, especially those that work in front of a desk and computer throughout the day. Once you know what the problem is, you can get to work fixing it.

Regards,

Brian
