What is Frozen Shoulder / Adhesive Encapsultis?
Frozen shoulder / adhesive encapsulits is a painful and disabling disorder of unclear cause in which the shoulder capsule, the connective tissue surrounding the glenohumeral joint of the shoulder, becomes inflamed and stiff, greatly restricting motion and causing chronic pain. Pain is usually constant, worse at night, and with cold weather. Certain movements or bumps can provoke episodes of tremendous pain and cramping.
How can we Help?
The manual therapy treatment comprises of joint mobilisation and soft tissue techniques with the aim to reduce the severity of the shoulder pain and improve the mobility of the shoulder complex of 4 joints so that it enables you to gain the function of your shoulder. The treatment is conservative and non-invasive and delivered in the least painless manner where possible.
