Immobilization: Prolonged immobilization or lack of use of the shoulder joint, leading to stiffness.
Diabetes: Individuals with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing adhesive capsulitis.
Previous Shoulder Injury: A history of shoulder injuries or surgeries may contribute to the development of a frozen shoulder.
Age and Gender: More common in individuals over 40, and women are more prone to developing adhesive capsulitis.
Joint Mobilizations: Gentle manipulation techniques to improve the range of motion in the shoulder.
Stretching Exercises: Targeted stretching to alleviate stiffness and increase flexibility.
Strengthening Exercises: Gradual introduction of strengthening exercises for the shoulder muscles.
Heat and Cold Therapy: Application of heat to reduce stiffness and cold therapy to manage inflammation.
Ultrasound and TENS: Modalities to alleviate pain and improve blood circulation.
Home Exercise Program: Prescribing a tailored home exercise routine to complement in-clinic treatments.
Posture Correction: Guidance on maintaining proper posture to prevent additional strain on the shoulder.
Patient Education: Educating patients on the condition, treatment plan, and self-management strategies.
