Symptoms and Exercises"},"content":{"rendered":"

Frozen shoulder is a condition characterized by the thickening and stiffening of the shoulder joint capsule, along with restrictions in the surrounding connective tissues. This condition leads to a significant reduction in shoulder range of motion and severe pain. Frozen shoulder typically develops gradually and may last for 1-3 years.<\/p>\n

Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pain<\/strong>\n
      \n
    • Gradually onset, deep, and persistent pain felt in the shoulder area.<\/li>\n
    • May worsen during rest, especially at night.<\/li>\n
    • Pain often becomes more severe with shoulder movement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Restricted Movement<\/strong>\n
        \n
      • Noticeable reduction in both active (self-initiated) and passive (assisted) movements.<\/li>\n
      • Particularly challenging to lift the arm overhead, open it sideways, or reach behind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • Decreased Muscle Strength<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • Muscle weakness may develop due to the inability to perform shoulder movements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • Shoulder Stiffness<\/strong>\n
            \n
          • A feeling of stiffness in the shoulder joint can make daily activities (e.g., combing hair, dressing) difficult.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Frozen shoulder goes through the following stages:<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Painful Stage<\/strong>: Pain increases in the shoulder, and movement restriction begins. The pain is usually more pronounced at night.<\/li>\n
            2. Freezing Stage<\/strong>: Shoulder movements are severely restricted, but pain may decrease.<\/li>\n
            3. Thawing Stage<\/strong>: Range of motion gradually returns.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Role of Physiotherapy:<\/strong> Physiotherapy plays a key role in managing frozen shoulder and helps improve quality of life.
              \nIt contributes in the following ways:
              \n\u2022 Pain inhibition
              \n\u2022 Increasing range of motion
              \n\u2022 Functional recovery
              \n\u2022 Posture training<\/p>\n

              The physiotherapist actively participates in managing the process by providing recommendations for exercises that can be done at home and suggesting ways to improve daily activities based on the condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
