Living with frozen shoulder can be debilitating, turning everyday tasks into painful challenges. Common symptoms include:

  • Persistent pain in the shoulder joint, especially during movement
  • Stiffness that makes it difficult to move the shoulder
  • Reduced range of motion in the shoulder
  • Pain that worsens at night, disrupting sleep

Frozen shoulder can stem from various causes, including:

  • Prolonged Immobility: Sitting or standing incorrectly for long periods can strain your back and neck muscles.
  • Injury: Accidents, falls, or sports injuries can lead to acute or chronic pain.
  • Systemic Conditions: Conditions like diabetes or thyroid disorders can contribute to frozen shoulder.
  • Postural Imbalances: Chronic poor posture can lead to frozen shoulder.
  • Understanding the underlying causes of your frozen shoulder is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.

Managing frozen shoulder effectively requires a comprehensive approach, and consulting an expert osteopath or physiotherapist is essential to develop a tailored treatment plan. Potential management strategies include:

  • Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT): Gentle manual techniques to improve joint mobility and reduce stiffness.
  • Physiotherapy: Exercises designed to stretch and strengthen the shoulder muscles, improving flexibility and function.
  • Myotherapy: Targeted massage therapy to relieve muscle tension and enhance circulation.
  • Postural Education: Advice on maintaining proper posture to prevent further strain on the shoulder.
