i will hopefully have some neurology stuff up in the next 6 months or so to try and stop all this uneducated bone out of place hypothesis crap and explain the effects of spinal manipulative therapy in terms of functional neurology that is in all our textbooks

im not trying to …
im not trying to argue or what ever. i am a 4th year chiropractic student and putting my point across as i have read the research on FS a while ago and have come across a few cases at work. my clinical experience is next to none. So unfortunatly my expirence only come from books. I do find it interesting that its the chiro’s that are meant to be un-scientific when this video has been said TO PREVENT FS; which it cannot. on the otherside there is no quality stuff on here for chiropractic.

i 100% agree that …
i 100% agree that it is pathological! but it IS idiopathic. the tissue response to the injury is extremely exaggerated and this exaggerated response is unknown and thus idiopathic. Even the suffix ‘itis’ in capsulitis is misleading as it is usually in the absence of inflamitory cells for the majority of its natural history. This kind of explains why manual therapy usually fails; as a pure mechanical problem isnt fixed with a purely mechanical treatment.

Yes it can be …
Yes it can be diagnosed idopathic in a lot of cases usually the general public, but as a martial arts instructor fully trained in several massage disciplines and physio, it ’s been my experience to have clients and students I’ve treated having aquired their condition from a more pathiogenetic cause, incurred from a specific kinesiological and motor-neurological malajustment while performing a transitional phase from one type of scapulation or lateral deltoids raise involved in their given sport.

its idiopathic, and …
its idiopathic, and not been shown to be due to what you said. i totally agree that this exercise cant be that effective in p[reventing FS especially due to the capsular pattern of the shoulder being external rotation first. even if it were to include stretching of the capsular pattern it denies the pathophysiology which seems to be idiopathic fibroblastic hyperlasia which may or may not be due to exersion, injury, or hypoxia

thats right! trauma …
thats right! trauma and concomitant diseases such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, and hypertriglyceridemia (sorry about the spelling). anyone with adhesive capsulitis and not have one of these conditions known should be referred for further investigation to rule this out.

Just recently I …
Just recently I developed it in the other shoulder from overusing the computer. This was my own diagnosis. The therapist told me if I was to ever get frozen shoulder again that I could do the exercises myself to break it loose, so that’s what I started doing the other day. It’s working; there is still one area that I’m working on. I came here to see how to prevent it. SO SIMPLE !! Thank you !!

I actually got …
I actually got frozen shoulder a few years ago from just turning over in bed and laid on my shoulder wrong. Very soon I could fasten my bra. If I jarred my body the pain was excruciating. I kept waiting for it to get better – it didn’t. Had to get a cortisone injection in my shoulder before I could do therapy. Let me tell you, the therapy is NO fun, painful but worked. Some people have to have surgery.

Wow, was that so …
Wow, was that so simple? I wish someone told me that before I’ve got it. Two years later it’s still not 100% restored. I testify: you definitely want to avoid that condition. It’s debilitating, frustrating and to begin with terribly painful.
How many time should one lift the arms during the exercise routine??

Xanuel3,

Xanuel3,
Correct – that is what the textbooks say. There is an association with rotator cuff tear and co-incident adhesive capsulitis but not in every case.
“theawakener7″ had a comment about strain which seems plausible but has not been shown in the literature.

actually this is a idiopathic disease and the cause is not known but there are risk factors that make pts more susceptible to getting it

doctor tim,
i believe I have tendonitis but the pain is gone. still really really weak. can i just keep stretching it and hope it gets better?

This does not …
This does not prevent frozen shoulder at all, but it can help reduce the risk. Frozen shoulder is a scarring tissue build up from repetative usage incorrectly or a one off strain while lifting or catching the deltoids at an obscure angle.

Correct.
I do recommend concurrent posture training and AROM.

If patient has increased thoracic kyphosis, then achieving this ROM will be impossible w/out postural correction first.

you mentioned that this exercise should be done 1 time per day but did not say how many repetitions should be done during a set.

I was looking for ‘trapped nerve’ (no guesses why) – I soon found it was ‘frozen shoulder’
It says ‘Avoid’ and ‘prevent’ in this vid – but they should add ‘cure’
