Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

Do You Have Shoulder Pain or Stiffness? You’re in the Right Place

If you are experiencing shoulder pain or difficulty in moving your shoulder, you may be suffering from Frozen Shoulder. You are reading the right article — this is based on real clinical experience and daily patient cases we treat at InstaPhysio.

Frozen shoulder is very common in people with diabetes, prolonged immobilization, or after injury, and it can severely affect daily life activities.

Common Patient Complaints We Observe

• ✔Shoulder pain (especially at night)
• ✔Difficulty in lifting arm (overhead movement restriction)
• ✔Pain while combing hair or wearing clothes
• ✔Stiffness in shoulder joint
• ✔Reduced range of motion (not able to move shoulder freely)
• ✔Pain increases with movement
• ✔Difficulty sleeping on affected side

Stages of Frozen Shoulder (Important to Understand)

Frozen shoulder develops gradually in stages:

• ✔Freezing Stage – Increasing pain and gradual stiffness
• ✔ Frozen Stage – Stiffness more, pain may reduce slightly
• ✔ Thawing Stage – Movement slowly improves

Proper physiotherapy is important in every stage for recovery

What You Can Do at Home (Initial Care)

If condition is in early stage, you can start with:

• ✔Apply hot water bag for 10–15 minutes
• ✔Avoid sudden or forceful shoulder movements
• ✔Perform gentle range of motion exercises
• ✔Do not completely stop using shoulder
• ✔Maintain proper posture

When Should You Consult a Physiotherapist?

• ✔If shoulder movement is getting restricted
• ✔If pain is not improving within 3 days
• ✔If daily activities are affected (dressing, lifting arm)
• ✔If stiffness is increasing gradually

Early physiotherapy = Faster recovery + prevents long-term stiffness

Long-Term Relief, Not Just Temporary Pain Reduction

Many patients take painkillers or rest, but stiffness keeps increasing. This happens because the joint capsule becomes tight and movement is not restored properly.

At InstaPhysio, we focus on:

• ✔ Restoring full shoulder range of motion
• ✔Reducing joint stiffness
• ✔Strengthening shoulder muscles
• ✔ Improving functional movement

Our goal is to ensure that your shoulder becomes fully functional again — without recurrence.
