What's Causing Recent Checkups
1. Impingement Syndrome
The tendons of the rotator cuff get pinched under the shoulder blade (acromion) when you lift your arm.
2. Frozen Shoulder
Adhesive Capsulitis. The joint capsule becomes stiff and inflamed, severely limiting motion. Early treatment is crucial.
3. Rotator Cuff Strain
Micro-tears in the Supraspinatus tendon. Common in pickleball players, swimmers, and tradespeople.
Shoulder Rehab Strategies
Sports Massage →
Releasing the pec minor and lats to let the shoulder sit back in its socket correctly.
Visceral Manipulation →
Right shoulder pain? It can sometimes refer from liver/gallbladder tension. We check this connection.
Scapular Stability →
Re-training the muscles that control your shoulder blade so it moves smoothly with your arm.
Complementary At-Home Therapies
Restoring full range of motion in a frozen or strained shoulder doesn't just happen during our hands-on sessions. I encourage leaning into the red light therapy benefits to continuously feed cellular energy to injured glenohumeral tissues. Setting up one of the best red light panels at your desk or home provides a consistent environment for stubborn shoulder restrictions to finally release.

Daryl takes a holistic approach to treatment and takes the time to understand what is going on in the whole body. After treatment I felt lighter and had less tension in my hips and lower back. Would highly recommend!

My experience at Sync Massage Therapy was outstanding! RMT Daryl was very careful to discuss my specific physical issues and medical conditions with me before we even began; he discussed various methods of treatment and their benefits with me before we even began, and made sure that my preferences and needs were incorporated into my treatment plan. I've been to many other RMT's who just treated me according to their standard routine, but Daryl made sure that our session was going to be centered around my specific health needs. He patiently answered all of my questions about various treatment styles, and didn't try to impose a plan on me. He checked in with me throughout the massage to make sure everything was comfortable and effective, and suggested other steps that we might incorporate into a long-term treatment plan. Daryl truly has my best interests at heart, and I'm glad that he is so knowledgable and intuitive in making a health-care plan for me!

I have been going to Daryl now for 2 sessions, highly recommend. It is absolutely magical what he does. I’ve had such pain in my knees and lower back for years and honestly since going to him I can actually walk, climb up stairs without pain and sleep soundly. Anyone having issues I would recommend him 100%

I had such a great experience yesterday. He was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain what was going on with my body instead of just treating the symptoms. I really appreciated that he also gave me specific exercises and stretches to do at home so I can continue improving between appointments. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping his clients feel better. Highly recommend!
