Treating the root cause of shoulder pain – regain your mobility

Common signs include pain when lifting your arm to the side (such as when putting on a jacket or reaching for a shelf), night pain when lying on the affected side, a pulling sensation between the shoulder and neck, and increasingly restricted mobility. Diagnoses such as impingement, calcific tendonitis, tendon irritation, or the onset of a frozen shoulder often manifest with these symptoms.

If you experience a sudden loss of strength following a fall or accident, you should have your shoulder examined by a doctor first.

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body – and the one used most one-sidedly in everyday life. Desk work pulls the shoulders forward, the chest muscles shorten, and the head of the humerus is pulled out of its ideal position. Tendons and bursae come under pressure, the surrounding muscles tense up in response – and the typical shoulder pain develops.

From the Liebscher & Bracht perspective, the problem is usually not "damaged" structures, but rather the muscular-fascial tension around the joint. Once these are normalized, the shoulder regains space – and the irritated structures can recover.

Using osteopressure, we treat the relevant pressure points on the chest, shoulder blade, and upper arm to reduce excessive tension around the shoulder joint. Often, the arm can be lifted significantly further and with less pain after just the first treatment.

The appropriate targeted stretches open up shortened chest muscles, mobilize the shoulder blade, and restore the joint's natural centering – the foundation for long-term recovery of mobility.

Winback Tecar therapy works in two ways for shoulder pain: the deep heat reaches the joint capsule, the tendon attachments of the rotator cuff, and the deep shoulder muscles, promoting blood circulation and soothing irritated, inflamed structures. For tendon irritation and calcific tendonitis, it supports tissue regeneration – gently and painlessly.

The combination – double the effectiveness: Deep heat makes the capsule and muscles more pliable, allowing the subsequent manual Liebscher & Bracht treatment to work more deeply and restore mobility faster – a decisive advantage, especially for stiff shoulders.

Why does my shoulder hurt when I lift my arm?

Usually, tendons and bursae under the acromion come under pressure because shortened chest and shoulder muscles pull the head of the humerus out of its ideal position. We treat these exact tension patterns – giving the shoulder room again.

Does the treatment also help with frozen shoulder or calcific tendonitis?

Yes, both are among the conditions we treat frequently. The combination of deep heat and manual tension reduction improves mobility and relieves pain – without injections or surgery.

How many treatments will I need?

That depends on the diagnosis: acute irritation often improves after just a few sessions, while a stiff shoulder requires more patience. Many people feel a significant improvement after the very first treatment.
