Rotator Cuff Pain: The Massage Technique That Helped A Farmers Rotator Cuff Issue

The Massage Technique That Helped A Farmers Rotator Cuff Issue

by Melissa McCutcheon, LMT

History

A farmer had been seeing the chiropractor I worked for about a rotator cuff issue. The chiropractor talked with me about getting this farmer in for a massage because he was still unable to lift his arm up without some discomfort.

The Technique

Active Release Therapy

Although I worked all the rotator cuff muscles thoroughly, working the subscapular muscle was the key to helping this guy.

What I called the subscapularis pin and twist involved me placing all my fingers deep into the farmers armpit to pin down the subscapular muscle. Once the muscle was pinned down, his arm was moved back and forth.

The Results

Immediate relief and increased range of motion.

Education

Since the subscapularis was the main muscle that needed to be worked I showed the farmer how to do the subscapularis pin and twist on himself.
