Also known as Adhesive Capsulitis, this is a painful condition whereby all shoulder movements become increasingly restricted. Thankfully, the natural course of a frozen shoulder is that it does get better with time but often it can take up to 2 years to resolve.
However, physiotherapy is a crucial part of the recovery process- in regaining normal movement and function of the shoulder. An injection in the shoulder can be helpful in the early stages of a frozen shoulder along with a physiotherapy programme.
