Shoulder massage in Zagreb
Shoulders that sit up around your ears by Thursday, or one that catches at a particular angle.
In short
A session costs 35 EUR, performed by a licensed physiotherapist at Prisavlje 12, Zagreb. No referral needed. Full list on the pricing page.
Two different problems
Tension is one thing: muscle that is chronically switched on from stress, screen work or carrying. Massage handles that well.
Restriction is another. A shoulder that will not lift past a certain point, that catches at one angle, or that wakes you when you roll onto it, is a joint and tendon problem. Massage may take the edge off, but the plan needs to be physical therapy or the same conversation happens again in a month.
What we treat around the shoulder
Upper trapezius and levator scapulae, the muscles that lift the shoulder toward the ear. The rotator cuff and the tissue around the shoulder blade. Pectorals at the front, which pull the shoulder forward and are almost always ignored.
Frequently asked questions
- Can massage help frozen shoulder?
- It helps the guarding and the secondary tension, which makes the shoulder more comfortable. It does not change the capsule, which is the actual problem in frozen shoulder. That needs a structured programme over months.
- Why do my shoulders hurt from sitting at a computer?
- Because you hold them slightly raised for hours without noticing. The upper trapezius never fully switches off, the muscles between the shoulder blades stay long and inactive, and the result is a familiar ache by afternoon.
- Does a shoulder massage include the neck?
- In almost every case. The two share muscles and treating one alone leaves half the problem.
- Should I have massage or physical therapy?
- Massage for tension, physical therapy for restriction, weakness or pain that wakes you at night. If you are unsure, book the assessment and it becomes obvious quickly.
