What we Treat / Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder describes a condition in which the shoulder is painful to move and movement is often completely restricted. Frozen shoulder starts as a painful shoulder in which movement is still possible, but restricted. Over 3 to 9 months the pain reduces, whilst the stiffness gradually increases. Eventually the pain goes but the shoulder remains stiff.
Physiotherapy can help to reduce the pain and stiffness over this time and is caught early enough can prevent full onset of frozen shoulder. Our Physios will help improve movement with manual stretching and soft tissues releases. A very specific and frequent home exercise and movement programme can be prescribed to speed up recovery. Electrotherapy will also be used to assist with pain relief.
