Treating Frozen Shoulder: Massage Therapy for Frozen Shoulder

5 Hours CE/CPD | Online Course with Maureen Abson, LMT

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, can be a painful and limiting condition that affects shoulder movement, daily function, sleep, and quality of life.

Treating Frozen Shoulder: Massage Therapy for Frozen Shoulder provides a practical specialization course for massage therapists and rehabilitation professionals who want to better understand and support clients through the freezing, frozen, and thawing phases of frozen shoulder.

Presented by Maureen Abson, LMT, this course combines theoretical understanding with studio-filmed practical demonstrations to help therapists adapt massage techniques safely and effectively for clients affected by frozen shoulder.

Participants will learn a range of targeted massage techniques designed to help alleviate pain, support movement, improve range of motion, and assist recovery within appropriate professional scope.

Supported by studio-filmed video lessons, a fully illustrated course workbook, companion course, lesson quizzes, online exam, certificate of completion, subtitles, and lifetime access, this course provides a structured learning pathway for practitioners working with clients affected by frozen shoulder.
