It’s one of the greatest mysteries of being 50+ – the sudden onset of shoulder pain and stiffness that often creeps up on people with no warning and usually offers NO explanation.

Sometimes it just happens. I’ve had a number of patients come to see me and say things like…

“I just woke up one morning a month ago with a pain in my neck and shoulders, I thought it’d go away but it’s starting to get on my nerves now!”

And because it can just happen without warning, people usually “try” a number of options before coming to see me, when looking for ways to end shoulder pain…

Painkillers rest and time and “nice” relaxing spa style massages. Do any of these ’solutions’ sound familiar?

Here’s why none of them ever work in the long run, like people hope:

Painkillers – they might ease the pain for an hour or so, but all that tablets do is MASK the pain – they don’t get to the root cause.

When painkillers wear off the problem is still there and you’re still left feeling frustrated with a very tight muscle, or a stiff shoulder.

Rest and time – It’s common to think that resting will fix the pain, but with time and MORE rest, your muscles become tighter and your joints become stiffer.

Just like if you leave your car sitting on the driveway for a few months, when you get back in to drive it again, it’s unlikely that it’ll feel smooth straight away.

Your joints and muscles are designed to move, and your body gets stronger the more you keep it active.

And that’s why it’s crucial that you get your shoulder joints moving to reduce any stiffness, to help it feel more relaxed so you can freely begin to move without pain again.
