Shoulder Injury Case Studies


An injury from several years earlier had left this client with continual low grade pain in the right shoulder. Massage, acupuncture and other modalities had not been effective with this specific injury and the client was pretty much resigned to remaining in pain. I performed a standard Touch for Health balance with some reactive muscle work on the muscles of the shoulder girdle and the rotators of the right shoulder. At the end of the hour the client was pain free and remained nearly so in the week interval to the next session. After the second session the client was pain free and has remained so for the last 18 months.


A side impact car crash followed by car/bicycle crash where this client was riding the bicycle left him on disability with a broken collar bone. When the break had healed the shoulder on that side was higher with the collar bone rotated up in such a way that it appeared as if it had not healed properly. I performed substantial deep tissue bodywork to free up the movement of the joint and AK reactive muscle resets in both shoulders. After the initial session the client reported that the shoulder had dropped level within an hour and that there was much less pain. At the beginning of the second session the collar bone had dropped back into its proper position and was obviously well aligned. After approximately six sessions of Deep Tissue Bodywork with Specialized Kinesiology, enough re-balancing had developed so that the client was able to return to his physically demanding job.
