Physical Therapist Reveals Frozen Shoulder Called 50 Year Old Shoulder in Japan

What was said

"Frozen shoulder translates in Japanese and Chinese to 50-year-old shoulder. Isn't that weird? Yes, that's what it's called, 50-year-old shoulder. We are more aware that this should be a component of care for women who are perimenopausal and menopausal when we're suddenly seeing occult frozen shoulder."

Starrett revealed that frozen shoulder, predominantly affecting perimenopausal and menopausal women, is literally called '50-year-old shoulder' in Japanese and Chinese. He argued that the medical community has failed women by not recognizing the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause as a root cause requiring hormonal intervention alongside physical therapy.
