Elaine Calenda presents
FROZEN SHOULDER SYNDROME
Being diagnosed with frozen shoulder can have a devastating effect on one’s life. Frozen Shoulder Syndrome or Adhesive Capsulitis, is still a mysterious orthopedic condition in as far as causative factors and prognosis. This condition is painful and difficult to heal, however, massage can be a major part of the solution. This video seminar gives you the tools to assess and treat this condition.
This Frozen Shoulder Syndrome seminar was written, instructed and directed by Elaine Calenda, AOS, NCTMB, a massage therapy educator for over 28 years. She has successfully applied the techniques demonstrated on this Frozen Shoulder Syndrome DVD seminar on real clients experiencing real shoulder issues. She also filmed this video program with one of her own clients in Boulder, Colorado who suffered from Frozen Shoulder Syndrome.
During her 25+ year career as a massage therapist and instructor, Elaine has learned firsthand that people who receive regular therapeutic massage for Frozen Shoulder Syndrome recover a lot faster, develop far fewer adhesive formations and scar tissue and are much less predisposed to strong holding patterns that can develop as a result.
This video seminar will also be helpful to you if you treat clients with active lifestyles who suffer shoulder problems, stiffness and restricted range of motion related to everyday repetitive motions. This DVD is recommended for practicing massage professionals, chiropractors and physical therapists who have completed at least 500 hours of accredited education that includes massage, physiology, pathology and anatomy.

Our 'through touch' massage table has solved a lot of problems for students being able to see the techniques that I'm demonstrating. When I was a student 24 years ago, I thought, I'm missing a lot of the instruction in this class because I can't see what the instructor's hands are doing underneath the person's body.
So we built a massage table that you can see through which really helped us do a better job of presenting the techniques that I use on this Frozen Shoulder Syndrome DVD seminar.

REVIEWS:
A DVD YOU WILL WANT IN YOUR LIBRARY
AMTA members know Elaine Calenda from many conventions. She has been a massage educator for more than 28 years, having taught at Manhattan's Swedish Institute and at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in Colorado, where she is currently the academic dean. She teaches with deep intelligency and broad humor.
On this DVD seminar, which is NCBTMB-approved for four contact hours, she demonstrates techniques for the shoulder with an actual client who had suffered with frozen shoulder syndrome. FSS is clinically known as adhesive capsulitis, a condition for which there is little known in conventional medicine regarding causative factors and prognosis. Anecdotally, we know massage can help with FSS. Calenda shows how to perform an assessment for FSS, how to palpate the muscles involved, and apply proven techniques, including three-dimensional side-lying shoulder mobilization. Calenda also demonstrates how shoulder rehabilitation includes working with subconscious holding patterns, and she uses resistance exercises that can help the body process its own healing more freely. The DVD was shot using a massage table with a see-through surface Calenda designed so you don't miss anything her hands are showing you, even underneath the body, you can see her hands' movements on the posterior neck with the client supine. "Frozen Shoulder Syndrom" is a DVD you will want in your library so you can refer to it over and over.

OUTSTANDING INSTRUCTOR
"This is one of the finest videos for the professional massage therapist. Elaine Calenda is an outstanding instructor and the video is filmed with the "viewer" in mind which is a rarity in this industry. I applaud Elaine and her efforts to educate massage therapists on the topic of "Frozen Shoulder" which appears in our practices more often than we think. I give this video 5 stars out of 5 stars."

LIVING ANATOMY CHARTS
For Massage Therapists and Healing Arts Practitioners
ANATOMY OR ART
Why not both?
The standard (and still most commonly sold in the US) anatomy chart has not changed since 1947. It depicts a male figure drawn from a cadaver in ‘anatomical position’ (which is straight on arms down hands open to the front). The skeletal chart is similar.
Our new LIVING ANATOMY Series includes two charts: Muscles in Motion and Osteography. Both charts function as practical learning and reference tools and as aesthetically pleasing artwork. They were drawn from Living Male and Female Models in dynamic poses. They depict the scientifically correct anatomy for both genders and for both Caucasian and Afro-American persons. more
