At The Miracle of Massage, Fix What’s Really Broken isn’t just a brand — it’s the backbone of how I work.

I learned it in the years I spent as a diesel mechanic and millwright, where you don’t waste time treating symptoms. You find the actual cause of the breakdown, fix it, and get the system running like new.

That same mindset is fueled by Simon Sinek’s “Start With Why” principle. My why is to restore freedom of movement and eliminate pain by fixing the real mechanical problem — not just masking it.

Her Story: When She Couldn’t Wash Her Own Hair

I’ll call her Angela.

Angela was in her early 50s and full of life. But one morning, while reaching up to put a bowl away, she felt a sharp stab in her right shoulder. Within weeks, the pain got worse and her arm wouldn’t lift past her chest. Even simple tasks like washing her hair or reaching for her seatbelt became impossible.

Her doctor called it Frozen Shoulder, or Adhesive Capsulitis, and prescribed painkillers and a long stretch of physical therapy. After months, she still couldn’t raise her arm much higher than before.

What Is Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen shoulder happens when the capsule of connective tissue around the shoulder joint thickens and tightens. This limits movement and causes pain, especially when trying to raise or rotate the arm.

Symptoms can include:

Gradual loss of shoulder motion

Pain at night or while resting

Sharp pain with sudden arm movements

Finding the Real Cause

When Angela came to me, I treated her shoulder the way I would a stiff joint in a machine — checking every connecting part.

What I found:

The muscles in the front of her shoulder were in protective spasm, limiting her range of motion

Her upper back muscles were weak, forcing her shoulder joint to carry all the strain

Scar tissue from an old injury had reduced the smooth glide of her shoulder’s movement

The Fix

Using targeted medical massage therapy, I:

Released the tight anterior shoulder and chest muscles

Restored mobility to the joint capsule

Strengthened the surrounding muscles to keep the joint stable

In just a few sessions, Angela’s arm began lifting higher without pain. Within two months, she could wash her hair, reach into cupboards, and drive without restriction.

Why This Works

The Fix What’s Really Broken approach works because it:

Looks at the whole mechanical system — not just the pain spot

Addresses the muscle imbalances keeping the problem in place

Restores normal motion while reducing inflammation

Like in mechanics, if a hinge is stuck, you don’t just oil the outside — you open it up and free what’s binding it.
