Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) the restriction is not because of one muscle, but due to tightening of the joint capsule around the shoulder. However, certain movements and muscle actions are most affected:

🔹 Movements Most Restricted:

External Rotation (most limited)

Abduction

Internal Rotation (later stage)

🔹 Muscles Functionally Affected:
Because of capsular tightness, the rotator cuff muscles (especially:

Supraspinatus → abduction

Infraspinatus & Teres Minor → external rotation

Subscapularis → internal rotation

also face resistance during movement.
Commonly follows a “3-stage pattern”:

Freezing stage – pain and increasing stiffness.

Frozen stage – marked stiffness, pain may reduce.

Thawing stage – gradual recovery of movement.

🔹 Physiotherapy Role

Pain management (heat, ultrasound, TENS).

Gentle stretching and mobilization.

Strengthening exercises for surrounding muscles.

Posture correction and home exercise program.

🔹 Recovery Time

Can take 12–18 months for full recovery.

Lower Cross Syndrome is a common postural imbalance where certain muscle groups become tight while others weaken — especially around the lower back and pelvis. This imbalance often leads to discomfort, poor posture, and increased risk of injury.

👎 Common in people who sit for long periods
💢 Leads to lower back pain, pelvic tilt, or poor posture
🧠 Early identification is key to long-term relief

Stay tuned as we break down symptoms, causes, and a stage-wise physiotherapy plan in our upcoming posts.

🔹 Your body deserves balance – let’s achieve it together. 🔹


Focus: Corrective Strengthening & Stretching

🧘 1. Stretching Tight Muscles

Hip Flexors (e.g., Iliopsoas, Re**us Femoris)

Lumbar Erector Spinae (Lower Back)
➤ Helps release tension & restore flexibility.

🏋️‍♀️ 2. Strengthening Weakened Muscles

Gluteus Maximus & Medius

Deep Abdominals (e.g., Transversus Abdominis)
➤ Improves postural balance & pelvic stability.

🪞 3. Posture & Core Training

Introduce pelvic tilts, dead bugs, glute bridges.
➤ Encourages neutral spine alignment.

🧠 4. Neuromuscular Re-education

Retrain movement patterns with slow, controlled exercises
➤ Reduces compensations & prevents reinjury.

🧑‍⚕️ Always follow your physiotherapist’s personalized plan.
Consistent rehab = Long-term relief!
