Tendonitis

[zterwuvoigwipoehx]

Hi all

I use aromatherapy massage on one of my friends who after a lot of pain visited A&e today. She has calcification/tendonitis in her shoulder. A few weeks ago I blended an oil for her containing St John's Wort, Geranium, Roman Chamomile and Lavender. I didn't massage the area as I thought it might make it worse (she had recently fallen). She told me this blend seemed to work but now a month later it has been too unbearable. She is starting physio tomorrow but asked if she could have frequent aromatherapy treatments to help in the long run. Is there anything/any methods that anyone can recommend to best treat this? Although I've been practising for nearly a year now, still learning so advice would be appreicated.

Thanks
Tracey

Traceym you do not give any idea as to the age of your client re Tendonitst of the shoulder. This sounds very much like Capulist Massage after the the acute stage is very aceptable and pain relieving oils are effective I would recomend Accuputure, Osteopathy,

Thanks Lionheart

She is in her early forties - works as a ward sister so constantly using her arms. Been told to rest completely - which she is finding very difficult with two young children. Could you clarify what Capulist massage is please? I had thought about acupuncture but she is terrified of needles.

Thanks again
Tracey

Hi Traceym I might have known your friend, client fits the bill exatly for Capsulitst of the shoulder , Female about or over fourty althougth this condition does aplly to men its mostly found in women commonly known as Frozen shoulder it can be affected by surouding mucle structre and can be just a few fibres. Yes rest is important but so is gentle strecthing in all directions including above the sholder althougth this may take a little time. Do you know a good sport masser? or Osteopath if so send her there. But do keep up the aromathreapy include the shoulder it can only help Phoine or e-mail me if you reqire any further help or advice I live in Watford England near London.
