frozen shoulder treatment

Muscle Energy Technique for Frozen Shoulder:

Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is an effective and gentle treatment for frozen shoulder, a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. This therapeutic approach involves the patient actively contracting their muscles against a counterforce provided by the therapist. This process helps to improve range of motion, reduce pain, and enhance muscle function.

In MET for frozen shoulder, the therapist guides the patient through specific isometric exercises targeting the shoulder muscles. By carefully applying resistance and ensuring proper alignment, the technique promotes the release of tight muscles and facilitates joint mobility. The controlled contractions and relaxations help to stretch the shoulder capsule, break down adhesions, and restore normal movement patterns.

The benefits of using MET for frozen shoulder include increased flexibility, reduced pain, and improved blood flow to the affected area. This non-invasive approach is tailored to the patient’s comfort level, making it a safe and effective option for individuals seeking relief from the debilitating effects of frozen shoulder.

Overall, incorporating Muscle Energy Technique into a comprehensive treatment plan can significantly accelerate recovery and enhance the quality of life for those suffering from frozen shoulder.
