Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare classical massage and massage based on the tensegrity rule in treating people with painful shoulder.
Detailed description
The joint system of the shoulder girdle is exposed to frequent overloading, which can cause painful shoulder. The therapeutic methods applied in the treatment of painful shoulder syndrome include among others oral pharmacotherapy, joint injections, kinesitherapy, ultrasound, electrotherapy, laser. Manual therapy, chiropractic and surgery could also be used. Attempts have also been made to apply classical massage in treating painful shoulder, although it is not often used due to its low effectiveness.This study compares classical massage and massage based on the tensegrity rule which is not commonly known.
Interventions
OTHERmassage
session - 20 minutes. Before the massage, palpable evaluation of the selected anatomical structures was carried out - to determine which tissues have the greatest sensitivity and which motor organs show increased tension (by pressing the attachment). In all the examined patients, pain of the following muscle attachments were shown: * latissimus muscle of the back * major pectoral muscle * supraspinous and infraspinous muscles * teres minor muscle * serratus anterior muscle * deltoid muscle The decision which muscles and fascias have to be massaged was made on the basis of the performed evaluation. In most cases the above mentioned tissues (together with other motor system organs which are structurally linked to it) were massaged to relax them. A palpable evaluation of the previously examined points was again performed during the final part, with particular attention paid to painful muscles, in order to analyze the effectiveness of the performed relaxation.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| mobility measurement | immediately before the first massage session - Test 1, on the day the therapy ended - Test 2 - two weeks after therapy started, and one month after the last massage - Test 3 | To assess massage effectiveness, mobility measurements were conducted in each patient. Both were conducted three times |
