3 Frozen Shoulder Rehab Exercises

Today's video covers frozen shoulder rehab exercises that can be performed at home. Frozen shoulder (also called adhesive capsulitis) describes a condition in which the body forms adhesions around the shoulder joint, leading to mobility deficits, pain and functional limitations.
Frozen shoulder more commonly occurs in people between the ages of 40-65, females and those who have already had the condition in their other shoulder. Also, individuals with diabetes and thyroid disease are at greater risk of developing this issue.
Mobility restrictions are typically the most common impairments associated with a diagnosis of frozen shoulder. These restrictions typically follow a capsular pattern where range of motion is lost in a particular order (1. external rotation 2. abduction 3. flexion).
Research supports the use of corticosteroid injections, clinician-delivered mobilizations and stretching to reduce pain, improve mobility and restore function (see reference below).

Hi I went to look your book but you have other ones as well so which one you recommend me or it’s more complete? Thank you

[@RehabScience]

Hello, thank you for your interest in my book. I have smaller books for each body region that will come out later this year. My main book is the large red one and it has programs for the entire body. Here is a link for my main book: a.co/d/gPjMDJN

Never got to thawing. Had surgery at two years, but it never got better. I’ve been frozen for 10 years now. Will these exercises get me to Thaw? Or am I a lost cause?

[@RehabScience]

I responded to your other comment. Sorry you have been dealing with this for so long. Yes, mobility exercises like these can continue to help even when you have been dealing with this for so long.

Do you recommend PNF for quicker progress?

[@RehabScience]

PNF can be a great addition and is worth experimenting with.
