    Elaine Calenda

    The Frozen Shoulder Syndrome seminar was written, instructed and directed by Elaine Calenda, AOS, NCTMB, a massage therapy educator for over 28 years.. She graduated from the Swedish Institute in 1979 with her CMT and gained clinical work experience with Dr. Richard Bachrach at the Center of Osteopathic & Sports Medicine in New York City. Elaine was an instructor at the Swedish Institute for six years. She is the Academic Dean at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy where she teaches Sports, Orthopedic, and Medical Massage. Elaine contributed to the development of the AOS Medical Massage course and she has participated in multiple research projects including: “The Effects of Massage for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome” and “Chronic Tension Headache.” Elaine is dedicated to the advancement of the massage profession and she is a member of the Massage Therapy Research Consortium. She writes for massage and CAM publications, she designs anatomical charts and she is frequently quoted as a massage expert by various health-related media venues. She is a member of the teaching team in the Orthopedic and Sports Massage Certificate Program and she teaches Structural Kinesiology, Anatomy & Physiology, Pathophysiology, and Medical Massage.

    Elaine has successfully applied the techniques demonstrated on this Frozen Shoulder Syndrome DVD seminar on real clients experiencing real shoulder issues. She also filmed this video program with one of her own clients in Boulder, Colorado who suffered from Frozen Shoulder Syndrome. During her 25+ year career as a massage therapist and instructor, Elaine has learned firsthand that people who receive regular therapeutic massage for Frozen Shoulder Syndrome recover a lot faster, develop far fewer adhesive formations and scar tissue and are much less predisposed to strong holding patterns that can develop as a result.

    "Our 'through touch' massage table has solved a lot of problems for students being able to see the techniques that I'm demonstrating. When I was a student 24 years ago, I thought, I'm missing a lot of the instruction in this class because I can't see what the instructor's hands are doing underneath the person's body. So we built a massage table that you can see through which really helped us do a better job of presenting the techniques that I use on this Frozen Shoulder Syndrome DVD seminar." - Elaine Calenda

A DVD YOU WILL WANT IN YOUR LIBRARY

AMTA members know Elaine Calenda from many conventions.  She has been a massage educator for more than 28 years, having taught at Manhattan's Swedish Institute and at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in Colorado, where she is currently the academic dean.  She teaches with deep intelligency and broad humor.

Anecdotally, we know massage can help with FSS. Calenda shows how to perform an assessment for FSS, how to palpate the muscles involved, and apply proven techniques, including three-dimensional side-lying shoulder mobilization.  Calenda also demonstrates how shoulder rehabilitation includes working with subconscious holding patterns, and she uses resistance exercises that can help the body process its own healing more freely.  The DVD was shot using a massage table with a see-through surface Calenda designed so you don't miss anything her hands are showing you, even underneath the body, you can see her hands' movements on the posterior neck with the client supine.  "Frozen Shoulder Syndrome" is a DVD you will want in your library so you can refer to it over and over.
