Oct. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Dr. Todd W. Austin and Eugena Austin of Virden, IL recently attended a weekend postgraduate seminar in Chesterfield, MO. The seminar was entitled ‘Releasing The Rotator Cuff: A Massage Therapy Perspective’
The latest in rotator cuff diagnosis and treatment was covered by Peggy Lamb, LMT from Austin, TX. This included extensive examination of each of the 4 rotator cuff muscles and tendons, common causes of rotator cuff injuries, how 'shoulder rhythm' affects the rotator cuff, strategies to prevent shoulder injuries, effective strategies for releasing rotator cuff muscles through therapeutic massage as well as stretching and strengthening exercises for both the rotator cuff and the entire shoulder girdle area. It is not true that all rotator cuff injuries occur in athletes. Dr. Todd and Eugena treat both athletes and non-athletes for many shoulder issues. Todd and Eugena also serve as team trainers and sideline healthcare providers for the semi-pro Springfield Foxes football team. The team just finished the season as the 2012 Eastern Conference Champions of the MidStates Football League. http://SpringfieldFoxesChiro.com Although most people think that all rotator cuff injuries require surgery, this is also not true. Many rotator cuff issues, even many muscle and tendon tears, can be treated successfully with conservative measures such as massage therapy, cold laser therapy, chiropractic care and strengthening exercises without the need for surgery. Dr. Todd has helped keep many patients from rotator cuff (and other shoulder) surgeries over the years by using a combination of cold lasers and chiropractic adjustments. For more info see his YouTube video on the subject at: http://www.youtube.com/ Eugena is now incorporating these new "releasing the rotator cuff" techniques into her massage practice which offers both relaxing and deep tissue massages. Their clinic's shoulder stretching routines for both general shoulder health and rotator cuff rehab can be found at: http://www.AFCvirden.com/ The seminar instructor, Peggy Lamb, has been a practicing Massage Therapist since 1986 and has helped several dozen of her clients to prevent rotator cuff surgeries over the years. Dr. Austin is a 1993 graduate of Logan College of Chiropractic , who practices at Austin Family Chiropractic on the West Side of the Virden Square.
