Research has shown that the therapy of soft tissue massage given by a licensed massage therapist or LMT can relieve shoulder pain caused by a variety conditions.
In a study published in Vol. 49 of the Australian Journal of Physiotherapy, entitled "An Essay on the effectiveness of tissue massage soft in the treatment of shoulder pain, "said Paul A. van den Dolder and David L. Roberts showed that therapy with soft tissue massage to patients with shoulder pain result in better range of motion, improved function and decreased pain. Both authors were members of the staff at Auburn Hospital and Concord Repatriation of General Hospital in Sydney.
The study followed participants for two weeks twenty-nine. All were being managed by Concord Repatriation Hospital General shoulder pain. The patients had different medical diagnoses, but the most common among them were the rotator-cuff, shock and unspecified shoulder pain.
The participants were randomized into two groups. The first group was the control group with fourteen members. They did not receive no treatment for shoulder pain for two weeks.
The second group was the massage therapy group with fifteen members. They were given six sessions of therapy soft tissue massage around your shoulders on the two-week period of observation. Each massage session of 15-20 minutes long and covered the pectoralis major in the position stretching, lateral border of the scapula in full shoulder flexion, anterior deltoid at the end of the trail behind the back hand horizontal flexion position, and posterior deltoid at the end of the trail.
Participants were evaluated before the study and after two-week period of observation. Functional capacity his shoulders were evaluated using the patient specific functional disability measure. The active range of shoulder motion was measured for the abduction, flexion and required to have their hands behind their backs. Finally, their level of pain was assessed using the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire.
During throughout the period of two weeks of observation, participants in the control group who received no treatment massage therapy or other treatment, no showed significant improvement. Moreover, participants in the massage group received six sessions of soft tissue massage therapy showed significant improvement in all the three measures of active range of motion. Their average of 42.2 degrees of improvement in the kidnapping, an average of 22.6 degrees of improvement in bending, and an average improvement of power reach to 11 inches above the back. This improvement was also reflected in the significant improvement of the functionality of your shoulders and pain decreased significantly.
Researchers Paul A. Van Den Dolder, David L. Roberts therefore concluded that: "This randomized controlled trial has shown that soft tissue massage around the shoulder in patients with shoulder pain of local mechanical origin produced significantly greater improvements in pain, function and range of motion that does no treatment for a period of two weeks. "They added that:" The fact that these patients improved with such a wide range of diagnoses highlights the potential generalizability of the effects of this massage in patients with shoulder pain of local mechanical origin. "
Of course it is very important that a therapist LMT licensed massage therapy or perform soft tissue massage, if the study results to be achieved. This will ensure not only the effectiveness of massage therapy, but patient safety, too.
