DESCRIPTION:
FROZEN SHOULDER also known as adhesive capsulitis is a condition which the shoulder joint loses range of motion. This can occur from an injury or can progress over time. This condition is most commonly seen in women and can be successfully treated by breaking up the scar tissue in the muscles around the shoulder. Proper shoulder stabilization and stretching program can help this condition from reoccurring.

• FROZEN SHOULDER - Football/Rugby Player:
  I am a former football player turned rugby player who plays for Palmer College Rugby team. Before seeing Dr. Kaminski, I had suffered through approximately 15 years of shoulder and ankle problems. My shoulder problems consisted of rotator cuff type injuries with extremely limited rotation and range of motion. Within two visits, my range of motion increased tremendously and I am able to perform exercises such as bench press without the pain that I had come to accept as "part of growing old". My ankle/foot problems were a bit more complex as I had recently ruptured the plantar fascia on my left foot.
  
  After approximately three weeks of treatment, however, I was able to run without pain or tightness in my Achilles tendon. Thanks to Dr. Kaminski and Active Release Techniques I am able to participate in sports again without all the pain I had become accustomed to.

• FROZEN SHOULDER - Power Lifter:
  I have been involved in sports all of my life. At the early age of twenty, I had lost all of the range of motion in my right shoulder and hips due to sports related injuries. I could not do an incline bench without my collarbone popping out and doing squats would cause my hips to bind.
  
  After just one session with Dr. Kaminski I had gained back nearly all of the flexibility and range of motion I had lost. I can easily incline bench 200 lb. for reps and go into a deep squat pain free. Without Dr. Kaminski and his use of A.R.T. none of this would be possible.
