Frozen Shoulder: Understanding the Condition and How Arya Physiotherapy Can Help You Find Relief

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition that limits the range of motion in your shoulder. It develops slowly in three stages: freezing, frozen, and thawing. During the freezing phase, shoulder pain worsens, and movement becomes increasingly difficult. In the frozen phase, the pain may decrease, but stiffness and immobility persist. Finally, in the thawing phase, the shoulder gradually regains its normal range of motion.

While this condition can be incredibly frustrating and disabling, physiotherapy offers an effective treatment for regaining mobility and reducing pain.

What is Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen shoulder occurs when the capsule of tissue surrounding the shoulder joint becomes thickened and inflamed, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited movement. This condition can be caused by injury, surgery, or even develop without any clear reason. Certain factors, such as diabetes, age, and a history of shoulder problems, can increase the risk of developing frozen shoulder.

As the condition progresses, performing daily tasks such as reaching overhead, lifting objects, or even dressing can become challenging. If left untreated, frozen shoulder can significantly impact your quality of life.

How Physiotherapy Helps in Treating Frozen Shoulder

At Arya Physiotherapy, we specialize in providing personalized treatment plans for frozen shoulder to help you regain your shoulder function and ease your pain. Physiotherapy is often the first line of treatment for this condition and can significantly improve mobility and decrease pain through various therapeutic techniques:

  1. Stretching Exercises– Gradual and controlled stretching exercises are key to restoring the shoulder’s range of motion. Our physiotherapists will guide you through safe, effective stretches tailored to your specific condition.
  2. Manual Therapy– Our skilled physiotherapists use manual therapy techniques to manipulate and mobilize the shoulder joint, reducing stiffness and pain while improving movement.
  3. Strengthening Exercises– Once the pain decreases, strengthening exercises are introduced to rebuild shoulder strength and prevent further injury.
  4. Heat and Cold Therapy– We use heat and cold packs to reduce inflammation and soothe muscle pain around the shoulder area.
  5. Postural Training– Correcting your posture can alleviate unnecessary strain on the shoulder, preventing the recurrence of frozen shoulder.

By combining these treatment methods, we help patients recover more quickly and effectively, without the need for invasive procedures or surgery.
