Frozen shoulder is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. It often develops gradually and has three stages: freezing, frozen, and thawing. In the freezing stage, shoulder movement becomes limited and pain increases. The frozen stage sees the shoulder becoming stiffer, with pain possibly decreasing. Finally, in the thawing stage, range of motion begins to improve.
The exact cause of frozen Shoulder is unknown but risk factors include age (40-60), gender (more common in women), and certain medical conditions (diabetes, heart disease, thyroid problems).
Symptoms may include
Therapist perform a series of passive range of motion assessments to measure shoulder mobility in different directions, such as abduction, flexion, internal rotation, and external rotation.
Exercise therapy:-Stretching and strengthening exercises to improve range of motion and reduce stiffness.Rehabilitation for frozen shoulder involves the specific needs of patients as they progress through the recovery process.
Advanced Exercises-like Kettle bell,dumbbells,medicine ball,theraband exercises etc.
Electrotherapy
