❄️Understanding Frozen Shoulder❄️
Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, occurs when the shoulder capsule becomes thickened and stiff. Those with diabetes, previous shoulder injuries or prolonged immobility are at an increased risk of developing frozen shoulder. It is generally viewed in three stages and can last anywhere from 6 months to 3 years in total.
1. Freezing - involves worsening pain and the beginnings of stiffness.
2. Frozen - characterized by very stiff and restricted movement, pain begins to ease.
3. Thawing - the shoulder gradually returns to its normal range of movement.
Frozen shoulder eventually resolves on its own with time, but joint injections and home exercise programs may help with managing pain and restoring movement at different stages of the process. If you have shoulder pain, or are concerned about frozen shoulder, book in with Free Movement Physio today 📆📞💙

Free Movement Physio is currently following government recommendations and remaining open! We have also implemented additional strict hygiene procedures in all our clinics.

We appreciate though, with current social distancing requirements in place, that it might not be the best option for some clients to attend their Physiotherapy appointment.

As an alternative option, we have commenced Telehealth (video) appointments. These sessions will only cost $60 or Katrina will even be able to Bulk Bill clients with a Medicare EPC referral.

Please send us an email at freemovementphysio@outlook.com if you would like to book one of these appointments.

Keep up that hand washing everyone!
