Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a common presentation in the primary care setting and can be significantly painful and disabling. The condition progresses in three stages: freezing (painful), frozen (adhesive) and thawing, and is often self-.limiting. Common conservative treatments include nonsteroidal anti-.inflammatory drugs, oral glucocorticoids, intra-.articular glucocorticoid injections and/or physical therapy. However, many physicians may find themselves limited to prescribing medications for treatment.

Top Facts About Physiotherapists
1. 🧠 They’re movement specialists.
Physiotherapists are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat physical dysfunctions — from injury to chronic pain to mobility issues.

2. 🎓 They study hard.
In South Africa, physiotherapists complete a 4-year university degree and must be registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).

3. 🏃‍♀️ They treat more than sports injuries.
From stroke rehab, arthritis, and back pain to chest physiotherapy and post-surgery recovery — physios cover it all.

4. 👐 It’s not just massage.
They use manual therapy, electrotherapy, exercise rehab, dry needling, postural correction, and education to promote healing.

5. 📉 They reduce the need for surgery or medication.
Many conditions (like knee pain or lower back issues) can be treated with physiotherapy — often avoiding the need for invasive options.

6. 👣 They look at the root cause, not just symptoms.
Physios assess how your whole body moves to find imbalances, weaknesses, and habits that lead to pain or injury.

7. 🏥 They work in diverse settings.
Hospitals, private practices, sports teams, schools, care homes, ICUs — physiotherapists are everywhere healing happens.

8. 🗣️ They’ll teach you too!
Education is a huge part of physiotherapy — they help you understand your body, pain triggers, and how to prevent future problems.

❓ Why does my physiotherapist sometimes use chiropractic methods?

Because some techniques overlap! Both physios and chiros work with joints, muscles, and movement. A gentle spinal or joint adjustment can ease stiffness and pain quickly, while physiotherapy builds strength and stability so the results last. It’s all about using the right tool at the right time to help you heal faster. 💪🦴
