Frozen shoulder is a common and complex musculoskeletal condition. It has a few other names including: adhesive capsulitis, scapulo-humeral periarthritis, periarthritis, pericapsulitis, stiff shoulder and obliterative bursitis. Don't worry, they are all very technical names making a condition that doesn't feel great seem even scarier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to current recommendations this condition can be effectively treated using integrative manual therapy and prescribing appropriate frozen shoulder exercises and stretches (recently an article was published supporting the use manual therapy in frozen shoulder recovery- see below). So please don't listen if you've been told there is nothing you can do for frozen shoulder!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may still have to go through the experience however having it diagnosed early, the right treatment and rehab can mean you don't live with residual symptoms longer than you have to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
