Best Practice Case Studies-Adhesive Capsulitis of the Shoulder

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Lorann Putnam, an occupational therapist, and Ross Nakaji, a physical therapist, discuss treating adhesive capsulitis using the TERT protocol. This involves four phases: starting with heat to relax tissues, a low-load long-duration stretch through joint mobilization, active assisted motion exercises, and cooling the tissue in its new range with ice. Additionally, shockwave therapy helps break down scar tissue, enhancing treatment efficacy. It uses pulses to target inflammation and requires multiple sessions for optimal results. This comprehensive approach aims to improve mobility, alleviate pain, and enhance patient recovery.
