Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) is a condition where the shoulder capsule becomes inflamed and contracted, causing pain and severe movement limitation. Untreated, it typically lasts 1-3 years.

3 Stages of Frozen Shoulder



  1. Freezing stage – 2-9 months: Pain increases, movement decreases.

  2. Frozen stage – 4-12 months: Pain decreases but shoulder is very stiff.

  3. Thawing stage – 5-24 months: Movement gradually improves.
