Frozen shoulder, medically known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition characterized by stiffness and a significant reduction in shoulder movement. It commonly develops due to prolonged shoulder immobilization, injury, diabetes, post-surgical conditions, or age-related changes. Patients with frozen shoulder often experience gradual onset of pain, difficulty in lifting the arm, restricted overhead movements, and discomfort during daily activities such as dressing, grooming, or reaching objects. Physiotherapy is the most effective and non-invasive treatment approach for frozen shoulder, focusing on reducing pain, restoring mobility, and improving shoulder function through structured and progressive rehabilitation.
Physiotherapy treatment for frozen shoulder includes pain-relieving modalities, gentle stretching, mobilization techniques, and strengthening exercises. During the initial painful phase, therapies such as heat application, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation help reduce pain and muscle spasm. As pain decreases, specific stretching and joint mobilization exercises are introduced to improve shoulder range of motion, including flexion, abduction, and rotation. Strengthening exercises for the rotator cuff and surrounding shoulder muscles are gradually added to enhance stability and function. Patient education, posture correction, and a consistent home exercise program are essential for long-term recovery. With regular physiotherapy sessions and patient compliance, most individuals regain shoulder mobility, reduce stiffness, and return to normal daily activities without the need for surgical intervention.
