Frozen Shoulder

Frozen Shoulder

Frozen Shoulder, also known as Adhesive Capsulitis, is a condition characterized by pain, stiffness, and a gradual loss of movement in the shoulder joint. It commonly affects people between the ages of 40 and 60 and may develop following an injury, surgery, prolonged immobilization, or certain medical conditions such as diabetes.

Physiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for frozen shoulder. Through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and stretching techniques, physiotherapists help reduce pain, restore shoulder mobility, and improve functional movement. Early intervention can significantly shorten recovery time and prevent long-term stiffness.

Causes of Frozen Shoulder

Frozen Shoulder can develop when the shoulder joint becomes stiff and inflamed, leading to pain and restricted movement. Several factors may contribute to its development.

• Shoulder Injury – Trauma, fractures, or rotator cuff injuries may increase the risk of frozen shoulder.
• Prolonged Immobilization – Keeping the shoulder inactive after surgery, injury, or illness can lead to stiffness.
• Diabetes – People with diabetes are more likely to develop frozen shoulder.
• Age-Related Changes – The condition is most common in adults between 40 and 60 years of age.
• Post-Surgical Recovery – Limited shoulder movement following surgery may contribute to the condition.
• Other Medical Conditions – Thyroid disorders, heart disease, and neurological conditions may increase the risk.
