WHAT TO EXPECT WITH PHYSICAL THERAPY
At your consultation, one of our physical therapists here at Reddy-Care Physical, Occupational, & Aquatic Therapy will assess your condition, pinpoint the exact source of your pain, take a look at your medical history, and evaluate your mobility and strength. There are three stages in the development of frozen shoulder: • Freezing: In this stage, you gradually experience more and more pain. As the pain worsens, you start to lose range of motion. • Frozen: This stage is characterized by motion loss, whereas the painful symptoms may improve. Daily activities are typically challenging during this phase. • Thawing: Shoulder motion improves during this stage, and there is typically a complete return to normal or close to normal motion and strength. It’s pretty standard for patients to see our physical therapists in the freezing stage after they’ve already been experiencing pain for a little over half a year or nine months. At this point, they’re already in a lot of pain and pretty used to not being able to move their shoulders the way they’d like to. Our comprehensive treatment plan will consist of targeted stretches and specific home exercises to speed up the recovery process and regain your motion, reduce your pain and restore any lost strength. Physical therapy for frozen shoulder focuses primarily on pain relief, using modalities like ultrasound, e-stim, and lasers. In addition, we take a hands-on approach using targeted manual therapy techniques like soft tissue work and joint mobilizations. Your physical therapist’s ultimate goal is to restore mobility and range of motion to the affected shoulder. The quicker we can address your pain symptoms and range of motion deficits, the sooner you get back to doing what you love!
