Frozen Shoulder Freedom: How Rehabilitation Can Restore Your Range of Motion

July 01, 20243 min read

Let's talk about something that might be really getting in the way of your everyday life—a frozen shoulder. If you're reading this, chances are you're dealing with some pretty frustrating pain and stiffness in your shoulder. You might find it tough to do simple things like reaching for something on a high shelf, putting on your jacket, or even brushing your hair. It's a real struggle, and it can make you feel pretty down. But don't worry, there's light at the end of the tunnel!

So, what exactly is a frozen shoulder? Well, it's a condition that causes your shoulder joint to become stiff and painful. This happens because the capsule, which is a bit like a pocket that surrounds your shoulder joint, gets thick and tight. This tightness can severely limit your range of motion, making your shoulder feel like it's, well, frozen!

You might have tried a bunch of things already to get some relief. Maybe you've used ice packs, heating pads, or over-the-counter painkillers. Perhaps you've even tried to push through the pain and keep moving your shoulder, hoping it would loosen up. But if you're still struggling, it might be time to consider a more structured approach – that's where rehabilitation comes in.

At ARC Rehabilitation & Pilates, we specialise in helping people just like you regain their mobility and live pain-free. Our team of experts understands how frustrating and debilitating a frozen shoulder can be, and we're here to help you get back to doing the things you love.

We start with a thorough assessment to understand your specific situation. Every frozen shoulder is unique, and your treatment plan should be too. Our rehabilitation programme includes a mix of gentle stretching, strengthening exercises, and manual therapy. These techniques help to gradually increase your shoulder's range of motion and reduce pain.

Gentle stretching exercises are key. They help to slowly loosen up the tight capsule around your shoulder joint. We’ll guide you through stretches that you can do at home, making sure you're doing them safely and effectively.

Strengthening exercises are also important because they help to support your shoulder and prevent future problems. These exercises target the muscles around your shoulder, making them stronger and more resilient.

Manual therapy is another powerful tool in our arsenal. This involves hands-on techniques that help to improve your shoulder’s mobility and reduce pain. Our skilled therapists know exactly how to apply these techniques to get the best results.

It’s important to stay motivated and keep a positive outlook during your rehabilitation journey. Recovery from a frozen shoulder can take time, but with consistent effort and the right guidance, you will see improvement. Our team will be with you every step of the way, providing support, encouragement, and expert advice.

Remember, you don’t have to go through this alone. At ARC Rehabilitation & Pilates, we’re dedicated to helping you achieve freedom from frozen shoulder. We’ve helped many people regain their mobility and live pain-free, and we can help you too.

So, why not take the first step towards a pain-free future? Reach out to us today, and let's get started on your journey to frozen shoulder freedom.
