Anatomically, Rotator Cuff is composed of four muscles: Supraspinatus muscle, Infraspinatus muscle, Teres minor muscle, Subscapularis muscle
However, when a massage therapist is involved in treatment of the rotator cuff injury, he or she must consider another two muscles latissimus dorsi and teres major. Such consideration is necessary because these muscles support and move shoulder joints region, and in cases of rotator cuff injury contribute to and demonstrate all clinical symptoms exactly like the other 4 muscles. Unless these muscles are addressed, in cases of rotator cuff syndrome no satisfactory results will be achieved.

In the DVD Volume 2 Boris provides a detailed verbal explanation followed by on screen caption commentaries at the time of hands-on performance. He teaches how to provide region specific self massage therapy for shoulder pain and shoulder injuries, including Pitcher's Shoulder, Swimmer's Shoulder, Tennis Shoulder, Frozen Shoulder, rotator cuff syndromes and more. The proposed techniques target pain reduction and include trigger point therapy, application of hot stones and ice massage, post isometric relaxation techniques, and rehabilitative exercise.
This DVD is designed as a home study educational program and is essentially a course in sports medicine and contains theoretical as well practical parts. It's easy to study and you can use offered techniques immediately.
If you sustain Shoulder injuries during sports activities, car accidents, work either caused by a repeated motion and/or performing any work that traumatizes muscles and strains or sprains shoulder region, this program could be effective in helping one to feel better as well as to prevent possible complications like acceleration of osteo-arthritis development.

Proposed techniques also can be very beneficial, and contributing to comfort and well-being for patients, who is suffering from mesothelioma, and other types of cancer, especially at time of remission and recoveries. Many studies and clinical observation suggest that at the time of chemotherapy, utilization of massage boosts energy and helps to keep it at a higher level, increases appetite, fights off depression, anxiety. Not less importantly massage techniques also improve much-needed immune system functions.

  • ice not good....kill cells and slow the recovery process....

  • @Yanyos actually in acute inflammations within skeletal muscular system it is important to apply ice and in no case hot application. Usually pain sensation reflecting degree of inflammation. Subjective scales of pain intensity can help to decide. For example if on scale from 0 to 10, pain sensation will be five and above ice have to be applied, . Will continue at next post.

  • @Yanyos in case when pains reaching five and below, one can , use hot. Cold/ice application for more than 10 minutes can cause irreversible damages and especially to nerves tissue, otherwise properly applied ice massage promoting healing process. Any non-septic inflammations in the results of diminished blood supply to injured area. Ice application reducing local temperature, and human body restoring normal temperature, by promoting more blood supply to area.

    Best wishes.

  • I think this debate on how many R.C. muscles there are is really overblown. Seems to me you are both right. I am awaiting dual complete shoulder replacement. From 25+years of hard construction work. Both of my UCSD Orthos tells me there are 4 muscles that make up the cuff but I understand that the shoulder contains many more and these muscles and other soft tissue can be involved at least on a sympathetic level. My Ortho confirms this. Please quit with the petty arguing. So stupid.

  • @REALITYCHURCH absolutely. Many clinical books referring and presenting rotator cuff as a 6 muscles.

    Because shoulder region/join has largest range of motion, stability and movement is provided by complex system of ligaments, tendons, bones, muscles and Fascia structures, that supporting each other, and therefore your orthopedic surgeon explained to you this way. From clinical point of view it is correct. Thank you very much for meaningful post.

    Best wishes.

  • @mgaft1 I too am confused by the presentation. 6 rotator cuff muscles, have we evolved since I last studied? Supraspinatus, Teres Minor, Subscapularis and Infraspinatus. Can I ask what other muscles you are including as part of the rotator cuff? I don't mean to be rude or insulting, I'm just curious as to your definition. Many thanks.

  • @ratkins72 you just didn't take time to read my reply to already posted similar questions.at proposed DVD I am presenting protocol for a rotator cuff syndrome, therefore we also must address latissimus dorsi as well teres major and teres minor muscles. necessary to do so because this muscles supporting and moving shoulder joints region, and in cases of rotator cuff syndrome demonstrating all clinical phenomenon exactly like other 4 muscles.otherwise no results will beachieved .

    Best .

  • @mgaft1 I now realize you are fully aware that I am correct in what I have said. You would not have removed my original comment (which happened to be the highest rated for a reason). I see now that this is more about selling your videos and less about being scientifically accurate and medically educational. Good luck to you and those whom you teach.
