Frozen Shoulder in Perimenopause? It’s More Complex Than You Think

Jennifer Shepherd here from The Shepard Center for Integrative Health. Let’s talk about the “perimenopausal/menopausal shoulder” — and why social media might be oversimplifying it. Yes, estrogen plays a powerful role in our fascial tissues, collagen health, brain, vascular system, and overall structure. And yes, hormone replacement can be life-changing (it has been for me). But here’s the truth: it’s never just one thing. Even after 2–3 years on estrogen and progesterone, I started noticing shoulder changes myself. As someone who prioritizes structural health — mobilizing, stabilizing, strengthening — I had to ask: what’s missing? In this video, I break down: • The hormonal connection to fascia and collagen • Why estrogen isn’t the only answer • Age-related collagen changes • Shoulder capsule laxity and rotator cuff stability • The role of testosterone • Why I’m experimenting with collagen supplementation • The impact of sleep positioning • And why curiosity always wins over trends There is never one single cause — and never one single solution. Stay curious. Ask better questions. And take social media advice with a grain of salt. #Menopause #Perimenopause #ShoulderPain #MidlifeHealth #HormoneHealth #CollagenHealth #EstrogenSupport #ShoulderMobility #PhysicalTherapy #IntegrativeHealth #JointHealth #RotatorCuff #WomensHealth #HRT #FunctionalMedicine #PainManagement #HealthyAging #StructuralHealth #MenopauseJourney #BodyAwareness
