❄️ Unfreeze Your Potential: Understanding Frozen Shoulder! ❄️
Also known as adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder arises when scar tissue starts developing within the shoulder, causing the shoulder capsule to thicken, tighten, and reduce its range of motion. The precise reason behind its development remains somewhat elusive, although a prevailing theory points to prolonged shoulder immobility, often resulting from an injury, surgery, or persistent pain.
A few quick facts:
🔹 Affects up to 5% of the population.
🔹 Most commonly seen between ages 40-60.
🔹 Higher risk for those with arthritis, diabetes, cardiovascular issues, and other health conditions.
