Frozen shoulder is the common name for adhesive capsulitis. It’s a medical condition that can cause extreme pain and a very limited range of motion(ROM) in the shoulder joint (glenohumeral socket) area. Frozen shoulder creates intense contraction of the capsule that surrounds and supports the shoulder girdle,hence its name adhesive CAPSULITIS. Although many articles and ‘experts’ will claim that the cause of frozen shoulder pain is unknown,that simply isn’t true. What is true however,is that it has a multitude of causitive factors. These include,but certainly aren’t limited to:

• Any sort of injury to the shoulder area such as a strain or sprain.




• Being out of spinal alignment relates to this as well and this is why seeing a qualified chiropractor is imperative in healing frozen shoulder pain.




• Age,in a sense,can be a risk factor in developing frozen shoulder pain. The majority of people with frozen shoulder are women between forty and sixty years of age. This could very well be tied to hormonal changes that occur during this stage of life.




• What I believe is a major factor in creating frozen shoulder in people that is not usually hit upon on most websites is the underlying emotional factor. Supressed emotions and painful memories that have not been  properly processed can most certainly manifest as physical pain. The mind/body connection has been proven by both scientific studies,as of late,as well as ancient wisdom for thousands of years.
  If you are interested in healing the root cause of physical symptoms I refer you to the EFT website at www.emofree.com and books by current healing/spiritual genius minds such as Deepak Chopra and Bruce Lipton.




• Diabetes has been found to be highly related to developing frozen shoulder pain. It’s one more reason to control carbohydrate intake and live a healthy lifestyle to avoid this dangerous,painful condition.

Frozen shoulder starts with a stiffening,contracting effect of the shoulder area where adhesive bands are formed,restricting motion. It then proceeds through two additional stages as is shown below.

1. -First,the painful,freezing state. This stage normally has the highest level of acute pain. Range of motion is starting to becoming impaired,but its not nearly as stiff the next phase. Most people will claim that this stage takes anywhere from six to twelve weeks to move through but that is with the old paradigm of healing. Using the above mentioned mind/body techniques along with the proper physiological support,healing can go MUCH,MUCH quicker. Don’t suffer through drawn out pain just because it has been dubbed ‘normal’ by an outmoded modality of medicine.




2. -Second comes the actual frozen stage,where it gets its notorious name. The pain normally diminishes during this stage,but this is where you really lose your range of motion. Movement can be extremely limited,making it hard to even comb your hair,brush your teeth,button up your shirt,or anything else that involves raising your arm above your head. ‘Normal’ timeframes to work through this phase are usually quoted from four to six months,but again,see my above comments and don’t succumb to this unnecessary,drawn out suffering.




3. -Third and finally comes the thawing stage. People at large will tell you this is a gradual drawn out phase,lasting as long as,or more,than a year! Please,please read into my above mentioned information.The information for quick,natural healing of frozen shoulder pain is there,and many have already benefitted from it. That is why I wrote this article,and created this blog as a whole. To help people heal their frozen shoulder far quicker than what is currently deemed as ‘normal’ and ‘unavoidable’. With the proper shoulder physical therapy,you will learn how to stretch the affected area to speed up healing. This,coupled with the above information should have you well on the road to a full,speedy recovery.

Roseanna Ellis recently spent some time applying EFT in a nursing home rehab center.  Her prolific results are given in this article.  This would be a good one to show to other rehab centers as a way to show how much could be done to accelerate healing.

Hugs, Gary

Dear Gary,

With business being slow due to the fact that I live off the beach, I decided to work for a month or so doing physical therapy in a rehab center within a nursing home. These are people that were in hospital who can’t go home yet because they are unable to care for themselves and thus must spend a few weeks getting better.

Normally I hate working in a nursing home because it is not challenging enough for me. But to my surprise I have had an amazing time in the past two weeks. I have been going around tapping everyone, from nurses to aids to bosses to patients.

First my boss complained of severe Right knee pain and tightness. Her 0-10 intensity level was an 8 for pain and in Range of motion she was only 70/90. I only worked on her for about 10 minutes for pain and for tightness. She got off the mat and wide-eyed said, ” I can’t believe it but my pain is completely gone. I checked her hamstring range and it had increased to 90/90 a perfect hamstring.

Next one of my patients who was in her 80′s was feeling sick to her stomach and had been that way for a few days. The nurse had called the doctor and he agreed to send her to the hospital for tests. I was to walk her in therapy first. I asked her if I could tap her to get rid of her stomach pain. She agreed and within 10 minutes she was up and moving fine without much pain.

I saw her in the hallway later that day and asked how the tests went? She answered, ” I changed my mind and decided I was feeling much better and the nurse canceled my hospital visit.

This kind of stuff happened all day every day with all my patients. I won’t bore you but two I must tell.

One gentleman, in his 50s, not my patient, but I interfered in his therapy (like I know everything right?) Well he had had a brain operation and was left paralyzed on his left leg. To make matters worse his right shoulder was classified as a frozen shoulder which was hindering his progress because he needed his arms to pull himself up in the parallel bars. His range was about 90 degrees and normal range was 180. He also had severe pain upon movement of that arm.

Well I worked with him for five minutes while his therapist was seeing to another patient. Within that time I got about 30 degrees extra movement and the pain had diminished about 20%.

The next day I asked his therapist if I could work a little more on him. I allowed her to test his range. She tested it at 130/180 which was where EFT had got him the day before. I worked EFT for 10 min. and I called his therapist over again to re-measure him. Now normally range like this takes weeks and weeks to achieve, that is why I wanted her to re-test. She looked a little annoyed thinking that she had just tested him and why was I asking her again. To her shock it was 175/180, and the man had no pain through the motion. I downloaded your EFT manual and gave it to him today to read and told him to apply it to himself every hour on the hour for a few days.

Another EFT miracle happened yesterday. One of my patients who is 72 years old, has had a very difficult time walking. Her balance is very poor. I had been working with her for a few days just doing regular therapy, when yesterday she said ” I am so afraid of falling, what happens if I fall and I can’t get up?. Well I began to tap her for her fear of falling, I worked for about ten minutes until I felt secure enough to walk her again to test her fear. Well she walked with so much control that it shocked me (which usually doesn’t happen too much any more). Then she shocked me further when she stated” I have not walked this good since I was in my 30s. You should have seen her smile.

Today I worked on her some more. Then I had her walking backwards, without loss of balance. She pushed herself around the nursing home shouting how great she was able to walk. She told me that her husband didn’t believe it and that he wants to come to see her in therapy. She is forbidden to walk unless she is in therapy because of her history of falls.

If only out-patient facilities were willing to let me work on patients like this. But I know it would never happen. To get a frozen shoulder or a replaced knee better within a few visits would put them out of business in a very short time. For now I grab what I can get away with.

Love, Roseanna

This gives you some excellent information on how you can apply eft to help heal your frozen shoulder pain.Please feel free to leave any questions or comments.

New Look at Pain Relief

“EFT offers great healing benefits.” Deepak Chopra, MD

“Where did the pain go?”, is the common response from most EFT newcomers. Properly applied, an estimated 80% achieve noticeable to complete pain relief within minutes and the result is often long lasting. No meds, surgeries or other medical interventions involved … and you can do it for yourself. You can also learn the EFT basics for free with our Free EFT Get Started Package or you can save time and dive right in to become an expert with our DVD Libraries.

Read this informative press release: Pain Relief – New “Acupuncture without Needles” Technique Reports 80% Effectiveness, Often Out-Performing Drugs

Why such dramatic relief?: EFT aims at two vital causes of pain that are largely outside the medical approach. This is why EFT often works for pain relief where nothing else will.

Cause #1 – Disrupted Subtle Energies: It has long been known that subtle energies circulate throughout our bodies and that the free flow of this energy can be vital to our health. Interrupt this energy and the result can be pain and disease. Stop it altogether and you may be headed toward death. Eastern health practices have been based on this concept for over 5,000 years. Einstein’s findings also relate to our bodies being composed of energy.

It should be no surprise, then, that repairing any disruptions in these subtle energies can lead to symptom and pain relief. Fortunately, the easy to learn EFT process allows even beginners to improve this free flow by stimulating (tapping on) certain “release points” on the body.

Cause #2 – Negative Emotions (Anger, Trauma, Fear, etc): It is a well established medical fact that our emotions trigger varying chemicals in our bodies. Joyous emotions can produce healing chemicals while negative emotions can create disease causing chemistry into our systems. For example, you may be familiar with how stress might contribute to ulcers or high blood pressure. We suggest that negative emotions may be a major cause of pain too. We have seen evidence of this repeatedly as pain subsides once negative emotions have been addressed with EFT.

Properly done, the EFT process address both of these causes simultaneously. Just read the actual cases below.

EFT is a Universal Healing Aid and expands well beyond pain management. It is easy to apply and often works where nothing else will.

Fibromyalgia pain is eliminated after getting to core issue of anger

Hi Everyone,

Follow this article by Dr. Kay Heaston closely. It illustrates beautifully the connection between our emotions (anger in this case) and our physical pains. Notice how Kay conversationally brings up more aspects to work with until her client’s intense shoulder pain is zero. Please consult physicians on all medical issues.

This recovery from a severe arm injury will get anyone’s attention. A thank you to Allan D. Kruest, Sr. for submitting it. As his article progresses he says, “I proceeded with the second round of tapping, and upon asking her what was the pain now, she said it was gone.  She then removed the sling, and whirled her arms about and was like a child that had a pain removed.  Needless to say, I was then the one that was flabbergasted.” Please consult physicians on all medical issues.

Hi Everyone,

Brenda Shoshanna’s brother was very reluctant to use EFT, but did so anyway. To his astonishment, his frozen shoulder gained complete relief. Here is what Brenda says as her article unfolds, “We kept going. This was exciting. He still couldn’t move it completely to the right or left. We tapped on ‘Even though my movement is still constricted, I deeply and completely love and accept myself and accept my arm.’ He started laughing. I did too. This was fun. This was thrilling. His arm started moving to the left now.” Please consult physicians on all medical issues.

Hugs, Gary

Hi Everyone,

Kaye Bewley from the UK gives us this brief account of clearing up a shoulder injury that just wasn’t supposed to go away. Nonetheless it did and this caused her client to say, “Ten years, I’ve lived with that awful thing – how is that possible?” Please consult physicians on all medical issues.

Hello Gary,

Anne asked me to help her with a problem she suffered from for ten years.  She had fallen off a horse and landed on her left shoulder.  Everyone thought she had broken it because she was in so much pain, but x-rays showed nothing.  Since that date, she’s had an annoying click, rather like a clock mechanism – every time she moves it round in a circle, when swimming, climbing onto horses, or just raising her arms “it’s like a clunk’ she said.  And I heard it.  Really nasty little sound and quite loud.

We rated it at a 10 then did a round of tapping on the KC point …

Even though I have this clunk in my left shoulder….

We did two rounds of tapping on the face, shoulders and UA then she moved her arm round in a big circle.  The clunk was still there – although only very faint. She was amazed and rated it at 5 – but said she accepted that it wouldn’t disappear entirely, “it was a ligament after all” (she’s a trained nurse and, of course, knows the body inside out). 

We went through another round – and still a 5, so we went through the 9 Gamut procedure.  Anne circled her arm again and looked at me as shock registered all over her face.  “I can’t believe that”, was all she kept repeating.  She circled her arm several times, but there was no sound, no annoying feeling of a clunk … she kept doing it to find it … I didn’t want her to hurt herself so asked her to ‘calm down’ with the circling, but she was too amazed.  There was one tiny clunk, more of a minor ‘click’ but she was totally amazed and pleased. 

“Ten years, I’ve lived with that awful thing – how is that possible?”

I only wish I’d had Anne’s shoulder clunk on video – if ever I had any doubts about EFT, they were squashed in those ten minutes!!!!

Thanks Gary for bringing EFT into our lives.  It has helped so many people that I know.

Kaye

Collapsing emotional issues avoids shoulder surgery

Please send this one to your physician as it represents clear evidence that surgery can often be avoided when emotional causes are properly addressed. I know that violates many medical beliefs but we have too many success stories like this to ignore. Many thanks to Russell Cunningham from Australia for being persistent with his client and entering boldly into some intense emotional issues.

By Russell Cunningham

Hi Gary,

Your EFT CD’s have exceeded our expectations they’re entertaining, motivating and informative. We’re often inspired by particular examples, to use EFT on conditions which appear to have a purely physical cause. Below is one such example.

Sally initially came to us a year ago with abusive relationship issues. She arrived nursing her arm and shoulder obviously in significant pain. Her job as a legal secretary involved carrying heavy books & files and was seen to be the primary cause of the problem. This shoulder pain had kept her from this work for 2 years and had not responded to physiotherapy, anti inflammatory drugs, pain killers, and a number of other therapies. She was due to have surgery to “burn out the nerves to her shoulder.” At rest she described the pain as 7/10 and attempting to raise the arm to shoulder level brought the pain up to 10/10. She was unable to lift her arm above shoulder level.

I asked her permission to focus on her shoulder problem first as this was likely to be connected with the relationship issues and it would be easier to clear other issues when she is pain free. Following another example from the CD’s I told her we had about 50:50 chance of success and that we would just experiment and see what results we get. (This helped take the pressure off both of us).

We started tapping on Even though I have “this shoulder pain”, “this ache in my shoulder”, “pain when I try to lift my arm” etc. after each round I would ask to describe the remaining pain and use her words. Pain intensity levels were dropping slowly and from the history of non response to other therapies I suspected a lot of PR. We mainly used the basic recipe plus the top of the head, with some short cuts and extra focus on KC, Sore spot, CB & Gamut.

I told Sally that I would guess some of the root causes, just keep tapping and saying what I say, trusting that if I’m not spot on her unconscious mind will adjust it to whatever is required. We continued tapping on “This is a physical problem and part of me can’t believe that tapping will fix it.”, “I don’t deserve to get better”, “I need this shoulder problem to get me out of the job I hate,” “I will loose my compensation payout if my shoulder gets better”……

Sally’s physiology was looking more relaxed with fewer creases on her forehead. I wasn’t stopping to get intensity levels on these, it seemed there were so many aspects we tapped pretty solidly for at least 20 minutes on these and similar issues…… Sally’s mum had been chronically ill and was looked after by Sally’s older sister. Sally was distraught when her sister left home and married Even though “I need this problem to get sympathy” “I need this pain to get love” “I need this pain to get attention”

At one point the pain shifted to her elbow in 2 rounds it went from 4/10 to 0.

“Even though I need this shoulder pain to avoid Geoff” (Her abusive partner who ran a brothel) She was looking much more relaxed the but shoulder pain seemed to be stuck at about 2.5/10 so I started being provocative, exaggerating suspected issues to bring up any remaining emotion. “Even though Geoff raped me” “Geoff treats me like a prostitute”….. “He only wants me for sex”…

After a total of 20 – 30 minutes Sally was able to raise her arm directly over her head for the first time in 2 years. There was no pain, just a minor discomfort she described as less than 1/10. Sally cancelled her surgery, her shoulder continued pain free. We had several more sessions over the next few weeks using EFT and occasionally NLP on child hood, mum, dad, relationship issues and self esteem.

I was surprised a few months later when Sally phoned saying that some of the shoulder pain had returned (4/10) and there were “physical lumps” in her shoulder. After tapping for the pain, physical lumps and further relationship issues, not only had the pain gone but the “physical lumps” had disappeared.

That was twelve months ago now. I phoned Sally recently. She has moved out of that relationship and started a new career in real estate. Her shoulder and elbow remain pain free.

Hugs

Hi Everyone,

I am always so pleased when EFT’ers “take a chance” and do “this weird procedure” in public places. Jerry Weber gives us this brief account of his public experience. Please consult physicians on all medical issues.

Hugs, Gary

By Jerry Weber

I am a hairdresser and owner of The Health and Beauty Connection, which is not only a salon but half of the building is dedicated to wellness.

Everyday I am talking to clients about their health and Saturday I had a client who came in who I had not seen for a year. She could not lift her right arm more than about 30%. As the other clients watched I asked the lady if she would like to have her arm healed. Of course she said yes and I explained “this weird procedure.”

I am fairly new to EFT so I did the complete setup, tapping and gamut. The results of the first sequence was shocking as she lifted her arm up to where the elbow was straight out. She looked at her friend with disbelief and I asked her to do it one more time. The second time I only did the setup and tapping.

When I finished the salon watched as she kept raising her arm until she was able to raise her arm all the way to the ceiling – with no pain. Tears started flowing, the salon clients cheered and all she kept saying was “God bless you.”

Thank you Gary for such an incredible tool to use. I have worked on about ten clients and every one of them received fabulous results (many 10 to 1) in just a FEW MINUTES.

Title: Frozen shoulder pain minimalized
Author: Karen Christensen
Link: http://www.oil-testimonials.com/essential-oils/1522

Three years ago I was severely handicapped by frozen shoulder disorder, in which I lost my flexibility in my left shoulder over the period of a year and a half. Before anyone could put a name on it (I found the term online before I was diagnosed) I had been through two doctors and a lot of physical therapy. Nothing was able to loosen my arm, the therapy made it worse. I was on 2000 mg of Ultram (rx painkiller) just to get through the day without crying and could not sleep at night.

I saw an ad in a Christian magazine and called across the country to ask about Peace and Calming, and they also suggested using a combo of Thieves and Wintergreen on my shoulder to help ease the inflammation. Within a week I was forgetting to take my pain meds and was sleeping like a rock. The first weekend I slept almost all weekend long after rubbing some Peace & Calming on my feet.  I was able to start getting caught up on the lack of sleep immediately! I also had a couple of great massages with Valor and a raindrop which helped release much of the deeper inflammation. I was told that surgery was the only option to free my shoulder (it was still stuck at 7′ off my hip but not as painful). But my shoulder freed completely after my first EFT session with a trained energy medicine therapist (I went for other reasons and she asked if she could work on my shoulder). I love Young Living oils and still continue using them especially Joy, Peace & Calming, Purification (great for cat urine and skunk) and lemon & peppermint in drinking water!
