Shoulder impingement occurs when tendons in the rotator cuff become compressed or irritated — often leading to pain, weakness, and loss of motion.
Everyday activities like reaching overhead, lifting, or even getting dressed can become difficult or painful.
At Reiki Massage Metaphysical Healing Service in Olympia, WA, we specialize in massage therapy for shoulder impingement relief — helping clients reduce inflammation, restore strength, and regain freedom of movement.
How Massage Therapy Helps Shoulder Impingement:
Massage therapy for shoulder issues focuses on:
Reducing inflammation in surrounding soft tissues
Lengthening and releasing tight muscles (especially deltoid, pectorals, and rotator cuff group)
Breaking down adhesions and scar tissue
Improving circulation for faster healing
Supporting better postural alignment to prevent recurrence
