Shoulder Blade Pain Improved After Targeted Treatment

Johnny travelled all the way from Wellington to Auckland after suffering from ongoing shoulder and upper back pain for a long time.

The pain around the shoulder blade area had been affecting his daily activities and comfort. He had already tried multiple treatments locally, but the improvement was limited and symptoms continued to return.

After assessment and treatment by Teresa, the problem was found to be related not only to the painful area itself, but also to tension from the neck region — especially tight scalene muscles affecting the nerve pathway into the shoulder blade area.

After only two treatments, he noticed clear improvement in both pain and movement.

Sometimes persistent shoulder blade pain is not simply a shoulder problem.
When the real source of irritation is identified correctly, recovery can become much more effective.

👏👏👏 Well done Teresa.
