[Frozen Shoulder]

<A report of February workshop>
The workshop held in North Vancouver on March 8th, 2010 was attended by Kiyoshi Ikenaga-sensei, Yoko, Yusuke, Mariko, Kazumi, Nozomi, Toshinori, Toshiya, Ikuko and Akiko. Also in first time attendance were Rozaly, Teruyo, and Yoshimi. One of the reasons Teruyo applied to work for JSC Satellites was to attend the monthly workshops organized by ISI HR.

The topic of this month's workshop was 'Frozen Shoulder'. Yoko-sensei demonstrated seated position treatments and explained the shoulder cuff muscle group. Then Kiyoshi Ikenaga-sensei demonstrated reclining treatment on the floor. He treated with lateral-side position and focused on the cervical region and supra&infra scapular regions very much. After that, Shiatsu on Shoulder joint area again with the supine position. The one of the most impressional techniques is that he was moving the client's arm and pressing the affected areas at the same time. Toshinori and Yoshimi, who have been suffering from frozen shoulder were used as models for this treatment.  As you can see the pictures, ROM of Yoshimi before and after is obvious.

After the lecture, the attendee's practiced shiatsu on the floor each other, pretending that their partners are suffering from frozen shoulder.
