Fix Your Frozen Shoulder

My progress

I am down 20 degrees of external rotation as my main range of motion limitation now. This weekend, my arm "freed up" a little more. I have been diligently working on fascia bumps in my pectoral area. Wow - I never realized these were fascia problems. I always thought they were lymph nodes or something. My arm feels much freer from working on them.

How do you find fascia problems and fix them. Well - trigger points are these very painful spots in your muscles. But fascia bumps are less painful little lumpy spots - often right under your skin or the fat layer that goes with in. These will melt away if you knead gently on them for a minute or two. Just keep working on them. It seems to work best if you start from one end and work towards the other.

I've had these little bumps across my chest and under my right arm for decades! My right breast has always been somewhat tender. So know I find out this is caused by stress on the fascia - from overuse of my right arm and being round shouldered.

This means I may actually be more functional that I was when I get through with all this self-therapy.
