Frozen shoulder or to give its full title adhesive capsulitis is stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint often with significant restriction in range of movement.

Symptoms usually begin slowly and get worse over a period of time.

It can take 1 to 3 years for symptoms to get fully better.

I've encountered it lots of the last 23 years and to be honest I genuinely don't think our style of treatment does much to help!

The shoulder joint is enclosed in a capsule of connective tissue and Frozen shoulder occurs when this capsule thickens and tightens around the shoulder joint which then restricts its movement.

Despite all the research its still unclear why this happens to some people. A lot of research suggests that it's more likely to happen after keeping your shoulder still for a long period of time like after an injury which is why sometimes people start off with a rotator cuff injury that then transitions to frozen shoulder.

Frozen shoulder is also strongly linked to hormonal changes during menopause, declining estrogen levels affects joint lubrication and can increase inflammation makes menopausal women a high risk group of developing this condition.

Other hormonal imbalances like thyroid issues (hypothyroidism), and conditions like diabetes (which impacts insulin and inflammation) can have a significant impact on developing it. HRT has shown potential benefits for some by restoring hormone balance.

If you think you may have frozen shoulder a GP visit followed by physiotherapy is generally the best route. Our hands on therapy unfortunately has minimal impact on this frustrating condition.
