Sylvia's Story: Healing Frozen Shoulder in just 5 sessions!
Jun 20, 2025
Hi sunshine ,
If you’re perimenopausal and have ever struggled with frozen shoulder — you know how relentless it can feel.
You can’t sleep through the night.
You can’t lift your arm enough to brush your hair.
Even pulling a T-shirt over your head feels impossible.
That was Sylvia — until everything changed.
Let me tell you her story.
Because if you’re dealing with frozen shoulder right now, I want you to know: there’s a way to heal from it that doesn't involve pain.
When Sylvia first came to me, she was in menopause and struggling with the return of an old symptom— frozen shoulder. She could barely move her arm. She was waking up five or six times a night. Her independence, her confidence, her nervous system — all deeply affected.
She’d already been through this once before. A couple of years ago right in the thick of perimenopause; her GP sent her to physiotherapy. Twenty sessions over 18 months. And the treatments were so painful, she dreaded every appointment.
This time, Sylvia chose a different path. She chose to work with her body’s energy — gently, intentionally, and holistically. Releasing not just the shoulder pain, but all the weight she'd been carrying.
Each week, her pain eased. Her sleep improved. Her arm lifted higher. Her body began to exhale.
Within five weeks, Sylvia was sleeping through the night. She could lift her arm again. Her pain was gone.
And more than that? Her energy came back. Her smile. Her sense of self.
Why Frozen Shoulder Is So Common in Menopause (and What You Can Do About It)
This isn’t just about injury or aging. During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal shifts can trigger inflammation, reduce circulation, and create energetic stagnation — especially in the joints.
That’s why so many women suddenly experience:
-
Frozen shoulder
-
Hip stiffness
-
Neck and jaw tension
-
Sciatica or lower back pain
Traditional approaches like physio and massage can help, but they often ignore the emotional and energetic roots of pain — and without addressing those, true healing can stall.
My approach blends Eastern bodywork, somatic movement, and 1-minute healing resets you can actually do in your real life (even when you’re busy, burnt out, or overwhelmed).
𧬠Why Energy Work Is the Missing Link
Here’s the truth most people don’t know:
Pain isn’t just physical.
It’s emotional.
It’s energetic.
It’s your body’s way of asking for help.
Without working with the body’s energy systems — breath, meridians, somatic memory — you’re only treating the surface.
Shiatsu, Qigong, Breathwork, Acupressure — they’re not “alternative.”
They’re essential.
Because healing doesn’t just happen by forcing muscles to move again.
It happens when you invite your body to release, gently and naturally.
