Frozen shoulder causes stiffness, pain, and restricted arm movement. Our Bradford physiotherapists provide gentle mobilization, stretching, and progressive exercise programs to restore shoulder function over time.
Frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis, is a condition where the shoulder joint becomes stiff, painful, and difficult to move. It often starts slowly, sometimes after an injury, surgery, or long period of reduced movement. People in Bradford may notice severe pain at night, trouble reaching overhead, or difficulty dressing and caring for themselves. At Recharge Physiotherapy, we assess the stage of your frozen shoulder and design a plan to reduce pain, restore movement, and guide you through each phase of recovery.
The capsule surrounding the shoulder joint thickens and tightens, causing movement to become limited and painful. We use gentle manual therapy, stretching, and education to reduce stiffness and encourage healing.
Inflammation is most intense in the early stage, often causing pain at rest and at night. We teach you how to manage pain, avoid irritating the joint, and use safe movements as symptoms improve.
With reduced movement, muscles around the shoulder can weaken and make daily activities harder. We guide you through targeted strengthening and gradually increase your range of motion as your pain decreases.
If you are unsure why your shoulder is stiff or painful, our physiotherapists perform a detailed assessment to confirm the diagnosis and explain the best approach to recovery.
Ignoring frozen shoulder can lead to long-term pain and limited movement. At Recharge Physiotherapy, we tailor your treatment to your stage of recovery—combining manual therapy, progressive exercises, and education so you regain full use of your arm and shoulder.
