Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful and debilitating condition characterized by stiffness and restricted motion in the shoulder joint. This condition typically develops gradually, with symptoms worsening over time. Individuals with frozen shoulder often experience difficulty performing daily activities such as reaching overhead, dressing, or sleeping comfortably.

Physical therapy plays a central role in managing this condition, with interventions focused on stretching and strengthening exercises, manual therapy techniques, and modalities such as heat or cold therapy. If you have been diagnosed or believe you may have frozen shoulder, book an appointment at UCC Physio and have our team of practitioners provide a thorough assessment and recommendations for recovery.
