Best Practice Case Studies-Adhesive Capsulitis of the Shoulder

Adhesive Capsulitis of the Shoulder - Demonstration

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Brett DeGoyer, a primary care sports medicine specialist, discusses treating adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder, using deep tissue work and the Spencer technique. He demonstrates deep massage around the glenohumeral joint, employing methods like traction, compression, and muscle energy. The Spencer technique takes the shoulder through various motions, including circumduction, external, and internal rotation. A milking action at the glenohumeral joint follows these stages, ensuring smooth mobility. Treatment concludes with scapula manipulation. These procedures, though uncomfortable, offer relief and should be done weekly over 6-12 weeks for effectiveness.
