I hope your shoulder is healing at least....Hi Muv,<br /><br />I hope your shoulder is healing at least. <br />My shoulders are very prone to freezing too. It's the only aspect of aging that I find very hard to accept.<br />My last treatment recently was for bursitis, but in the past I've had physiotherapy for frozen shoulders. <br /><br />My goal is to prevent the shoulder from freezing up in the first place obviously, but if I fail I practice damage control. <br /><br />My strategy:<br />I know I tend to tense up my shoulders when I'm concentrating on crafting. So I try to be aware of that and relax them as soon as I notice some tension. <br />I take frequent breaks.<br />I try to avoid doing the same craft all day. Ideally I switch crafts, and if necessary I combine them with household chores or an hour of reading. <br /><br />Unfortunately whatever craft I do some aching is bound to happen. So I have to switch between crafts often or even leave crafting alone for a day or two. <br />It sucks, but it beats being immobile for weeks in a row. <br /><br />all the best,<br /><br />Marianne<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260517203708400505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-87486476627213679762014-04-28T22:14:38.639+01:002014-04-28T22:14:38.639+01:00Thank you P.

I don't have quite full range of motion yet, but it's getting there, more and more each week. I've never heard of this method, but I just Googled it and watched a small video. It sounds like a good plan. I went to my sister, who is a massage therapist, weekly, then biweekly. It helped more than physical therapy, which I quit because it was just too painful (and expensive). I also knew, having been through it on the other shoulder 10 years ago, that you have to wait until the shoulder starts to "thaw" and become less exquisitely painful before you can do some of the movements to restore range. I hope you feel better soon (although "soon" is a relative thing with this...soon enough is maybe a better phrase).

Glad to hear your shoulder has got back to normal. For most of Easter I felt like a piece of warmed up tripe. At the moment we are working on this at home, with my son doing muscle massage on my arm. I feel like a guinea pig.Muvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734374133479479218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-77580889029070329372014-04-28T12:33:52.629+01:002014-04-28T12:33:52.629+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Muvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734374133479479218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-85963051644769315562014-04-27T23:26:54.807+01:002014-04-27T23:26:54.807+01:00Muv, feeling very sympathetic about your shoulder,...Muv, feeling very sympathetic about your shoulder, as I've been dealing with this myself. I haven't heard of the Niel-Asher technique, but wanted to chime in here to mention that Reiki has helped my shoulder return to normal fairly quickly. I use it quite often.Linda Wulf Koenighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05923385161588309971noreply@blogger.com
