Sports injuries

[Guest guest]

Hi -

 

For frozen shoulder, doing local colon, triple heater and extra points with

moxa will begin to open and warm the channels. Also saw in clinic in

Beijing points like ST.38 and ST.40 done while having the patient rotate the

shoulder to free it. Would work on building yin, dispersing wind and

possibly heat as sometimes that is stuck there as well, though usually in my

experience this is more a cold condition relieved by warmth. Have found

this approach works well in any musculoskeletal chronic injury - it seems

the channels get deficient in those areas from overuse.
