FROZEN SHOUDER:

• Constant Pain: The pain may be sharp or dull and can occur with movement or at rest. This pain can be severe and interfere with daily activities, making it difficult to perform simple tasks like getting dressed or reaching for objects.
• Stiffness: Your shoulder may feel stiff, making it hard to raise your arm or reach behind your back.
• Limited Range of Motion: You might be unable to move your arm in all directions. For example, you may struggle to lift your arm above your head or rotate it.
• Shoulder Problems: Due to the shoulder joint's lack of use and movement, it can lead to muscle weakness and atrophy. This weakness can further limit your ability to perform daily tasks requiring shoulder movement.
• Sleep Problems: The pain can make it hard to sleep at night, especially if you try to lie on the affected shoulder.
• Gradual Onset: It can take months for the symptoms to grow and become noticeable fully. You may first notice mild stiffness or discomfort in your shoulder, and as the condition progresses, the pain and limitation in movement may become more severe

TMJ : Temporomandibular joint/disorders (TMDs) are a group of more than 30 conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement

Often caused by a combination of factors, including jaw injuries, joint disease like arthritis, and muscle tension. Clenching or grinding teeth (bruxism), stress, and even poor posture can also contribute. At times can be from Sleeping “wrong” in a postion that puts pressure on the jaw. Eating overuse and Yawing with a very wide opening.

Physiotherapy Treatments used:

• Hands-on manual therapy to restore pain-free range of motion at the TMJ, off-load the irritated TMJ disc, and enable proper gliding at the joint.
• Hands-on soft tissue massage and stretching of tight jaw and neck muscles.
• Training in jaw relaxation techniques to enable tight chewing muscles to release excessive tension.
• Dry needling or acupuncture to address any trigger points in jaw muscles and reduce pain.
• Strengthening exercises to address muscle imbalances of jaw muscles, and to correct faulty motor patterning of the jaw during opening and/or closing movements.
• Advice on sleep positioning, chewing pattern and diet, temporarily modifying food size or texture to decrease stress to the jaw, thereby allowing room for recovery.
• Postural strategies for decreasing strain on the jaw due to postural factors (addressing any positioning/ergonomic factors due to workstation set-up, forward head posture, etc.).
• Treatment of the neck and back (and even the pelvis in some cases!). Joint restrictions found in these areas can adversely impact the position of the jaw and movement patterns in some individuals.

Safety While Snow Shoveling

Every year, thousands of people are seriously hurt while shoveling snow, primarily suffering heart, head, back, and bone injuries. Snow shoveling is a risky activity that most people don’t realize, but thankfully, there are also ways to manage the risks!

Shovels: Many shovels have no hand grips, are too long/short, and are made out of heavy steel. You should avoid bending, twisting, and overexerting while moving the snow to avoid hurting your spine. Find a lightweight plastic or aluminum shovel with an adjustable length and with an ergonomically curved to reduce the risk of muscle injury.

Never toss snow over the shoulder, since this involves twisting the body. Instead, shovel straight ahead to minimize the necessary movements. Also, push snow instead of lifting it whenever possible, and don't walk the snow long distances

Footwear: Wear slip-resistant boots or shoes, never walk on ice, always walk slowly when walking on snow, and salt and sand as you go.

Take Breaks and Hydrate!!

Physiotherapy on Front Team can help if you have any aches or pains! Just call 519-271-2823
