SLAP Tears
SLAP = Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior Lesion
The glenohumeral joint of the rotator cuff is where the humeral head (greater tubercle) meets the shoulder socket of the scapula, called the glenoid. The labrum is a piece of cartilage (called fibrocartilage), that is similar to the meniscus in your knee, which forms a cup within the joint for the humeral head to sit in. When this fibrocartilage tears, it is called a SLAP (Superior Labrum from Anterior to Posterior) tear or lesion.

This joint is considered a ball and socket joint - however the 'socket' is not as deep as similar joints in your body. Instead, the humerus sits against the glenoid cavity similar to how a golf ball sits on a tee.
Since the ball does not fit directly inside the socket of the glenohumeral joint, it is the labrum, tendons, and ligaments that hold the ball of the humerus against the glenoid fossa. These connective tissues provide stability between your scapula and your humerus.
The labrum (also called the glenoid labrum) is a very important piece of cartilage that forms a ring around the outer edge of the shoulder socket (glenoid cavity), making the socket deeper for the humeral head to fit into.

Anatomy of the Rotator Cuff
Shoulder Bones and Ligaments - the Anatomy of the Shoulder. The bone structures inside the shoulder that are significant to the rotator cuff include the humerus, the scapula, the acromion process, the clavicle, the greater tubercle, and the glenoid cavity.

If you exhibit any of these Frozen Shoulder risk factors, then you need to increase your awareness of the condition and more importantly, take early steps to help prevent the condition from developing.
Diabetes:
Approximately 20% of diabetics will develop one or more Frozen Shoulders during their lifetime. This compares to only 2% of the non-diabetic general population, based on information from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.
A ten times greater risk factor is truly significant.
While researchers are still trying to determine exactly why diabetics are prone to Frozen Shoulder, there are some theories that seem plausible.
One theory involves the metabolism of glucose and its effect on collagen.

MRI has proven to be useful in the assessment of rotator cuff injuries.
MRI is a non‐invasive method of imaging and is unique in that it allows the differentiation of soft tissue structures. Improvements in MRI techniques, including fast spin‐echo imaging and fat saturation, have facilitated demonstration of tendinous abnormalities of the rotator cuff.

An Overview of Shoulder Manipulation
Shoulder Manipulation is Also Known As
Manipulation Under Anaesthetic (MUA) or
Arthroscopic Capsular Release (ACR)
Shoulder manipulation can be the right choice for you. Like surgery, it is generally considered when other options have failed.
If you are unsure about whether you need shoulder manipulation, go to this page:
"Do I Need Shoulder Manipulation?"
The State of a Shoulder Where Manipulation Is Considered
Your shoulder by design is a joint that has the capacity to move the arm in a wide range of motion across multiple planes and bear very significant loads while doing so. Any joint that has these attributes must by design be fairly complex. The name of the shoulder joint is known as the Glenohumeral Joint.
At the very top of the arm bone (humerus), there is a "ball"-like end on it. This "ball" fits into a shallow socket known as the Glenoid Cavity (or Glenoid Fossa) that is located at the end of the shoulder blade (scapula). Picture a a loose, elastic shell that surrounds the whole joint, all the way around the socket - this is known as the Joint Capsule. Stabilizing the humerus to your core are numerous ligaments and tendons both inside and outside of this capsule.

Frozen Shoulder is the one more misunderstood musculoskeletal conditions. The common belief is that Frozen Shoulder is idiopathic in nature (meaning, it does have a true cause). While this may be true to a certain extent, there are a number of risk factors for developing Frozen Shoulder that people need to be aware of.
Diabetics are very prone to developing the condition. It is estimated that 20% to 27% of diabetics will develop a frozen Shoulder at some point in their life. In addition, those with thyroid issues and underlying autoimmune dysfunctions are at a high risk of developing a Frozen Shoulder.
So what can be done about Frozen Shoulder?
Well first, addressing the underlying causes as noted above will be the first step. Second, you will want to focus on getting a consistent supply of blood flow to the shoulder joint capsule in order to to help the body remodel the scar tissue deposits that build up - back into a more healthy Type 1 collagen. It is a process and it takes time, but with the right tools (like the Shoulder T Shellz Wrap) and key stretches, you can begin to overcome this very stubborn condition.
The premise behind our development of our T-Shellz product line is simple. The goal: reduce tissue damage and enhance your body's natural healing process by delivering key amount of oxygen, nutrients, and anti-bodies to the injured and weakened tissues. This in turn, gives the body the tools it needs to generate healthy amounts of new collagen and to reverse the damage (scar tissue) that has built up as a result of the injury.
While the process sounds simple, it is incredibly hard to achieve. In comparison to other modalities on the market that merely attempt to mask pain or provide a surface treatment - our T-Shellz Wraps for the Shoulder do what they fail to accomplish - more complete and sustainable healing of muscle and soft tissues ailments due to the Deep Tissue therapeutic effect.
