Adhesive Capsulitis aka Frozen Shoulder

They come in three’s and that it what I have right now.  Three cases of frozen shoulders.  All in the typical demographic but each with different causes.

If you are dealing with this, you basically have a few options:

1) Manipulation under anethesia

2) Physical Therapy

3) Nothing and hope it gets better by itself

In practice, I am seeing that it pays to spend 15 minutes to prep the tissue with soft tissue manipulation, joint mobilizations, modalities etc.. before getting into the PROM planes of movement.

It is a long but worth it journey and if your willing to put in the work and take the tears along with it, you will get through it!

Have a question, come to the FORUM and discuss…
