Frozen Shoulder Explained: Breaking Free from Shoulder Stiffness
Description
Why does your shoulder suddenly feel stiff and painful, like it’s stuck in place? In this episode, Frozen Shoulder Explained: Breaking Free from Shoulder Stiffness, we uncover what really happens when the shoulder “freezes.” Learn how adhesive capsulitis develops, why it can take months to recover, and what treatments truly help. We’ll explain the three stages of frozen shoulder—freezing, frozen, and thawing—and how physical therapy, stretching, and patience can gradually restore motion. You’ll also hear how doctors diagnose the condition, when injections or surgery might be used, and what most people can expect for long-term recovery.
This episode is based on expert-reviewed information from the free, peer-reviewed website of the non-profit OrthoEducation, available at OrthoEducation.com. Whether you’re dealing with frozen shoulder yourself or helping someone through it, this podcast will help you understand how to get moving again—slowly, safely, and successfully.
