What is Home Physiotherapy for Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition marked by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. Symptoms develop gradually, worsen, and then resolve over one to three years. Home physiotherapy is crucial, focusing on exercises and techniques to improve shoulder mobility and reduce pain.
At Curis 360 Physiotherapy on Kanakapura Road, we specialize in providing tailored home physiotherapy for frozen shoulder. Our approach ensures personalized care and effective results. Dr. Ponkhi Sharma emphasizes a comprehensive home exercise program to complement clinical treatments.
Symptoms and Warning Signs
Frozen shoulder progresses through three stages:
- Freezing Stage: Increasing pain and gradual loss of motion, often worsening at night.
- Frozen Stage: Pain may lessen, but stiffness limits shoulder movement.
- Thawing Stage: Movement improves as stiffness decreases, and normal function returns.
Early recognition of these symptoms is crucial for effective management. Seek professional evaluation if you experience persistent shoulder pain or movement difficulty.
