We know very little about the cause of frozen shoulder but some research has revealed that it can be related to a traumatic event, not necessarily to the shoulder in question, but a traumatic event either physical or psychological.
The frozen shoulder, also named Adhesive Capsulitis, usually lasts about 9-12 months in total with generally 3 phases that a individual goes through, Pain (where movement can be restricted), Pain and Stiffness (movement is severely restricted) and the third phase is mostly Stiffness (with movement slowly returning)
Eventually the shoulder should recover and physiotherapy can help not only ease the pain in the first two stages but also help regain movement in the third phase. For more information please visit our Frozen Shoulder page detailing the condition or contact us at Moving with Ease so we can help you with your individual needs.
