Service Overview

What this service is designed to solve.

Frozen shoulder often develops gradually and can feel frustrating because simple tasks like dressing, reaching, or sleeping become difficult. Recovery is usually stage-based rather than linear, which means the plan needs to match the phase you are in.

At Physynex, treatment focuses on reducing unnecessary aggravation, maintaining useful movement, and rebuilding function without forcing the shoulder in ways that increase irritability.

FAQs

Common questions about frozen shoulder treatment.

These answers cover the questions patients usually ask before starting this pathway, during early treatment, and as they progress toward work, training, or full activity.

Can frozen shoulder improve with physiotherapy?

Yes. Physiotherapy can help manage pain, guide the right amount of movement, and improve function throughout the different stages of recovery.

Should I force the shoulder to move more?

Usually no. Aggressive stretching can sometimes increase irritability, so movement is normally matched to your current stage and tolerance.

How long can frozen shoulder take to improve?

It can take time, often longer than standard overload-related shoulder pain. The goal is steady improvement in function and pain control across the course of recovery.

Can I still do exercises during recovery?

Yes, but they should be matched to your stage and response rather than copied from a generic shoulder program.
