Frozen Shoulder Physiotherapy at Home in Bangalore

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is a condition where the capsule around the shoulder joint becomes inflamed, thickened, and tight — gradually restricting movement and causing pain. It typically develops in stages: a painful 'freezing' phase, a stiff 'frozen' phase, and a slow 'thawing' phase as movement returns.

It can be stubborn and slow, but it does respond to physiotherapy — and the right treatment at the right stage makes a real difference to how fast and how fully you recover. The aim is to manage pain during the early phase and progressively restore movement and strength as the shoulder allows, without forcing it in a way that flares the pain.

Treatment for frozen shoulder depends heavily on which stage you're in, so the assessment comes first. Your physiotherapist identifies the phase, measures your movement in each direction, and checks how much pain is limiting you — because pushing too hard in the painful early phase can make things worse, while the stiff phase needs steady, progressive stretching.

From there, we match treatment to your stage: pain management and gentle movement early on, then progressive manual therapy, stretching, and strengthening as the shoulder allows. Consistency matters enormously with frozen shoulder, and home visits make it far easier to keep the regular, patient work that this condition rewards.
