Relieve stiffness, pain, mobility and frozen shoulder with our expert treatment at MHV Clinic, London. Book your appointment today!
Frozen shoulder usually moves through painful, stiff and recovering stages. Our treatment changes with each stage: calming pain early on, then gently restoring movement with mobilisation and targeted exercise. The aim is to shorten the stiff phase and get you reaching, dressing and sleeping more comfortably.
We start with a full consultation and a hands-on assessment, explain what we find in plain language, and begin treatment in the same session. You leave with a simple exercise plan and a clear idea of how many visits you are likely to need.
Seek medical advice if shoulder pain follows a fall, or comes with chest pain or breathlessness.
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful and debilitating condition characterised by stiffness and a limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It typically develops gradually, progressing through distinct stages, each marked by varying degrees of pain and mobility restriction. The condition primarily affects the shoulder capsule, a thick layer of connective tissue that encases the joint. When this capsule becomes inflamed and tight, it restricts movement and causes significant discomfort.
Frozen shoulder usually begins with mild discomfort, which gradually worsens over time. It can affect one or both shoulders, though typically, only one shoulder is impacted at a time. This condition frequently interferes with everyday tasks, such as:
Recognising and understanding the phases of a frozen shoulder is crucial for effective management and treatment.
The shoulder’s complex structure, comprising tendons, ligaments, and bones, allows for extensive mobility. However, in cases of frozen shoulder, inflammation within the joint capsule causes it to thicken and tighten. This thickening leads to the hallmark symptom, severe restrictions in motion. The condition can persist without proper intervention for months or even years, significantly reducing a person’s quality of life.
