Akseltætning

Akseltætning, also known as shoulder compression or shoulder squeeze, is a technique used in various fields, including physical therapy, sports training, and massage therapy. The primary goal of akseltætning is to improve the function and health of the shoulder joint by applying pressure to the shoulder blade and surrounding muscles.

The technique involves applying firm, sustained pressure to the shoulder blade and the muscles that support it, such as the trapezius and rhomboids. This pressure helps to reduce muscle tension, improve blood flow, and promote healing in the affected area. Akseltætning can be performed manually by a therapist or practitioner, or it can be done self-administered using specialized tools or devices.

Akseltætning is often used to treat a variety of shoulder conditions, including rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, and shoulder impingement syndrome. It can also be beneficial for athletes looking to improve their shoulder strength and flexibility, as well as for individuals seeking to alleviate chronic shoulder pain.

While akseltætning can be an effective treatment option, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before beginning any new treatment regimen. They can help determine if akseltætning is appropriate for your specific condition and provide guidance on how to perform the technique safely and effectively.
