Dynamic soft tissue mobilization

Begin with gentle heat application or light massage to warm up the tissue for 5 minutes. Assess the range of motion and identify specific areas of tightness and pain. - Use hands or specialized tools to apply sustained pressure to the fascia and underlying muscles, concentrating on the scapular, pectoral, deltoidal, and rotator cuff muscles. Apply specific DSTM techniques to the identified muscles, gradually increasing the intensity as tolerated by the patient. Follow up with gentle stretching and strengthening exercises to maintain the gained ROM and improve muscle function.For subscapular are release Gentle circular movements over the subscapularis region to decrease the tension and increase the freedom of this muscle.For Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus Work Specific exercise over these muscles to help relieve pain and improve the shoulder joint.

Bowen Technique and 3 moves

As the client sits, take a position across from the shoulder that needs attention. Hold the side you are working on by its forearm. Arrange the forearm so that it is horizontal at about chest level, keeping the elbow at a 90˚ angle and the shoulder apart from the trunk. Move 1: This is an anterior move that involves placing the fingers of the other hand over the midpoint of the triceps and posterior deltoid tendon, which is situated deeper. The ideal way to execute the exercise is to adduct the shoulder joint to its maximum ROM while placing the thumb of the same hand on the humeral head.Move 2: After the shoulder has fully adducted to the other side, strike the humeral head percussionally in the neck's direction. Move 3: Put the arm back in the beginning position and work the anterior deltoid at its midpoint with a supero-lateral move. Then take a pause for 2 minutes and repeat the moves. Complete 3 sets of all these moves in 35 minutes including 2 minutes pause after these 3 moves.
