About frozen shoulder

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) causes pain and progressive stiffness in the shoulder joint. It often develops slowly and can make dressing, reaching or sleeping on that side difficult.

Recovery takes time, and the right exercises at the right stage matter. Treatment at Biru Wellness combines manual therapy with a progressive mobility and strengthening plan, and looks at the neck and upper back as well.

Common signs

  • Deep aching pain in the shoulder, often worse at night
  • Difficulty lifting the arm or reaching behind the back
  • Stiffness that gradually gets worse
  • Trouble with dressing, combing hair or overhead tasks
  • Reduced movement even when someone else moves the arm

How we treat it at Biru Wellness

  • Assessment of shoulder, neck and upper-back movement
  • Manual therapy and joint mobilisation to ease stiffness
  • Stage-appropriate stretching and strengthening exercises

Frozen Shoulder — frequently asked questions

How long does frozen shoulder take to recover?

It commonly takes several months and sometimes longer, moving through painful, stiff and recovery stages. Regular guided exercise can help movement return more steadily.

Is exercise good for frozen shoulder?

Gentle, appropriate exercise is a core part of recovery, but it needs to match the stage of the condition. Pushing too hard can increase pain, so follow a guided plan.

What causes a frozen shoulder?

Often no single cause is found. It is more common after shoulder injury or surgery, and in people with diabetes or thyroid conditions.
