Shoulder pain and overload in Castelldefels
The shoulder is the joint with the greatest range in the body and the first to register repeated movements and sustained postures. Joan Jiménez, registered naturopath (FENACO 3802), assesses the state of the cuff, trapezius and scapula to locate which structure is holding the load and restore range to the joint.
Signs we see in consultation
Shoulder overload presents a fairly defined picture:
- Discomfort when raising the arm above the head.
- Difficulty reaching the hand behind the back or getting dressed.
- A loaded shoulder by the end of the day.
- Discomfort when lying on that side at night.
- Tension spreading from the trapezius toward the neck.
What we usually find
The shoulder is rarely overloaded on its own. It works in a chain with the scapula, the cervical area and the upper back, so a repeated movement —the mouse, carrying weight on one side, unevenly distributed training— ends up unbalancing the whole set.
When that imbalance persists, the muscles around the joint shorten and range decreases. Manual work aims to release the retained tissue and rebalance how effort is shared between scapula, trapezius and cervical area.
Approach and method
Joan explores the shoulder's actual mobility and the state of the tissue along the whole chain: cuff, scapula, trapezius, pectoral and cervical area. That reading shows what to release first and what is compensating.
On that map he applies deep manual work with TNDR (Natural Unblocking Regenerating Technique), matching intensity to the tissue response. No closed protocols: the structure holding the load is worked, not just the point that hurts.
An integrative service, not just a massage
Joan does not work with a single technique. Depending on what the assessment shows, he combines TNDR integrative massage in one session with decontracting work, facial and TMJ work, foot reflexology, biomagnetism, reiki or Access Bars. The combination is decided case by case, with no closed protocols.

The consultation in Castelldefels
The session does not start on the table, but by listening. First we go through what you notice, since when and in which situations it appears; then a manual assessment reads the state of the tissue and locates where the load is actually held.
