Client Chronicles: How Sylvia Healed Her Frozen Shoulder ( in just 4 sessions!)

May 18, 2025

 

Hi sunshine ,

If you’ve 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 gentler way to heal.

 

🌀 Sylvia’s Story: From Pain to Power

The bell rang.
I opened the door.
There was Sylvia, beaming.

“How are you?” I asked.
“I’m great!” she said. “I have no more pain. I can lift my arm above my shoulder. I’m sleeping through the night — and I can finally do my chores again!”

5 weeks earlier, Sylvia could barely move her arm 4 inches away from her body.
She woke up 5–6 times a night trying to find a position that didn’t hurt.
Her whole life — her independence, her energy, her confidence — had been affected.

And here’s the thing:
This wasn’t her first time with frozen shoulder.

The first time, her GP sent her to physiotherapy.
She went to around 20 sessions — over a year and a half — and the pain during the treatments was excruciating.

This time, Sylvia chose a different path.
This time, she chose energy work.

 

🌿 What We Did (and Why It Worked)

Over 4 sessions together, I worked with Sylvia using Shiatsu therapy — a gentle, deeply targeted energy bodywork technique.
(Sidenote: Yes, we worked in person, but everything I taught Sylvia — acupressure points, massage techniques, movement — is something I also teach in my online 1:1 coaching.)

Every week, we:

  • Released blocked energy in her shoulder and arm

  • Activated healing pathways through key acupressure points

  • Unwound emotional tension stored in her body

  • Supported her with somatic breathwork and simple movement resets

And week by week, her pain unraveled.
Her arm lifted higher.
Her body exhaled.
Her nervous system calmed.

🧬 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.
