What it is

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a progressive tightening of the shoulder capsule. It moves through a painful freezing stage, a stiff frozen stage and a gradual thawing stage.

Treatment intensity has to match the stage. Aggressive stretching during the painful stage makes it worse, which is the most common reason people stay stuck for months.

Symptoms we see

Severe night pain, especially lying on the affected side
Difficulty reaching behind the back or overhead
Trouble with dressing, combing hair or fastening a seatbelt
Loss of external rotation more than any other movement
Pain referred to the outer upper arm

Common causes

Diabetes and thyroid disorders, which raise the risk substantially
Prolonged immobilisation after injury or surgery
Rotator cuff injury or tendinopathy
Idiopathic onset with no clear trigger

Our approach

Assessment: Staging of the condition, active and passive range measurement in all planes, capsular pattern confirmation and screening of the neck and diabetes status.
Treatment: Freezing stage focuses on pain relief with SWD, ultrasound and gentle pendular movement. Frozen stage adds sustained capsular stretch, joint mobilisation and wall-ladder work. Thawing stage adds strengthening.
Home program: Four to six stretches performed several times daily in short doses, which matters more than clinic sessions in this condition.

Techniques used

Capsular stretching

Sustained low-load stretch in the restricted directions to lengthen the capsule.

Glenohumeral mobilisation

Graded joint glides to restore accessory movement.

Short wave diathermy

Deep heating before stretch to improve tissue extensibility.

Pulley and wall-ladder work

Controlled range progression that patients can continue at home.

Rotator cuff strengthening

Restores stability and function once range returns.

Frequently asked questions

How long does frozen shoulder take to recover?

With consistent physiotherapy most patients see clear gains in eight to twelve weeks, and near-full range in four to nine months depending on the stage at which treatment starts.

Does diabetes make it harder to treat?

It can slow progress and raise recurrence risk, so we keep sessions frequent and coordinate with your blood sugar control.

Is a steroid injection needed?

Sometimes, in the painful freezing stage. Physiotherapy after an injection produces far better range than the injection alone.
