Three broad stages
- Painful — night pain, protecting the arm
- Stiff — motion limited in multiple directions
- Thawing — range returns gradually; strength catches up
Frozen shoulder care matches the stage: calm pain and gentle motion first; progressive mobilisation and stretching later; then strength and full function.
Why home helps
We see how you reach the wardrobe, wash your hair and sleep. Homework uses your towel, wall and doorway — equipment you will actually use at 7 a.m.

Frequently asked questions
How long does frozen shoulder last?
Often many months to a couple of years in total. Physio aims to keep you functioning better through each phase.
Should stretching hurt a lot?
No. Firm but tolerable is the rule — especially early. Sharp bullying stretches can flare the capsule.
Do I need an injection?
Sometimes orthopaedics consider injections for pain-dominant stages. We coordinate with your doctor; we do not inject.
Can this be managed entirely at home?
Often yes for exercise and manual care. Clinic is optional if you prefer that setting in Ghaziabad.
