Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. At The Physiocircle, we understand that this condition can severely impact daily activities, making arm movements difficult and painful.

Frozen shoulder typically develops in stages: the freezing stage (painful movement), the frozen stage (restricted mobility), and the thawing stage (gradual improvement). Risk factors include diabetes, prolonged immobility, previous injuries, or post-surgical conditions.

At The Physiocircle, our treatment focuses on pain relief, improving flexibility, and restoring shoulder mobility. Physiotherapy techniques such as joint mobilization, stretching exercises, and soft tissue therapy are crucial for breaking adhesions and regaining movement. Strengthening exercises help maintain shoulder stability, and heat therapy may aid in reducing discomfort.

Early intervention at The Physiocircle can accelerate recovery and prevent long-term stiffness. If frozen shoulder limits your mobility, physiotherapy offers effective strategies to restore function and relieve pain.
