By Paulius Jurasius, Founder of JANMI Soft Tissue Therapy, a name you can trust for expert solutions to Frozen Shoulder and Lower Back Pain.
Your Shoulder Wasn't Made for Sitting Still
Do you know what your shoulder was designed for? Throwing spears, climbing trees, and swinging from branches like an evolutionary badass. Do you know what it wasn’t designed for? Sitting at a desk for 12 hours while your arm remains motionless, gripping a computer mouse.
Welcome to Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)—one of the most mysterious and debilitating conditions I treat in my clinic. If you’ve ever woken up and realized that your shoulder is now a block of cement, unable to move without excruciating pain, congratulations! You’ve entered the frozen wasteland of immobility.
But don’t panic. I know how to melt it.
What is a Frozen Shoulder (and Why is It So Painful)?
Frozen Shoulder is what happens when the joint capsule of your shoulder tightens and thickens, turning your once-mobile shoulder into a biomechanical disaster. It comes in three horrible stages:
Freezing Phase (Pain starts, movement decreases)
Frozen Phase (Pain decreases, but you now have the mobility of a mannequin)
Thawing Phase (You finally start regaining motion, but it can take years!)
This is not just regular stiffness—it’s like your shoulder has been locked inside a medieval torture device. And here’s the worst part: Doctors still don’t fully understand why it happens.
Evolutionary Perspective: Why Modern Life is Freezing Your Shoulder
Let’s rewind 100,000 years. Our ancestors were constantly moving, reaching, climbing, and throwing. Their shoulders were strong, flexible, and resilient.
Now, what do we do? Scroll, type, and hold a steering wheel. We’ve stopped using our full range of motion, and our bodies are punishing us for it. Your shoulder wasn’t made for inactivity, and when it doesn’t get movement, it locks itself down to prevent further “damage.”
It’s as if your own body is saying, “Well, if you’re not going to use this joint properly, I’m taking it away.”
But don’t worry—I know how to get it back.
How JANMI Soft Tissue Therapy Unfreezes Your Shoulder
Frozen Shoulder needs expert, hands-on intervention to break free. Here’s what happens in a JANMI session:
Deep Myofascial Release:
We break through the thick, sticky fascia locking your shoulder down.
Targeted Trigger Point Therapy:
I find and release the painful knots in your rotator cuff, traps, and pecs that are feeding the restriction.
Joint Mobilization & Assisted Stretching:
We gently encourage movement, restoring range without causing further damage.
Evolutionary Strength & Mobility Training:
I give you custom movements that reconnect your shoulder to its original, primal function.
Case Study: The Patient Who Couldn’t Lift His Arm
One of my clients, a 52-year-old marathon runner, came in unable to raise his arm above chest level. His GP told him to “wait it out,” but waiting wasn’t working.
After 5 sessions of JANMI Soft Tissue Therapy, he regained 80% of his movement back. No surgery. No endless painkillers. Just precise, hands-on therapy and evolutionary movement.
Reclaim Your Shoulder
If your shoulder is frozen, it won’t just “get better” on its own. You need movement, release, and expert therapy.
