Frozen shoulder

Adhesive capsulitis stiffens the shoulder capsule and limits lifting or rotating the arm. A gradual plan restores motion without forcing.

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, causes pain and progressive loss of active and passive mobility. It often evolves in phases: pain, stiffness and slow recovery.

It may follow immobilization, surgery, diabetes, thyroid disorders or appear without a clear cause. Inflammation and capsule thickening restrict elevation and external rotation.

Without care, daily tasks (dressing, reaching shelves, sleeping on the affected side) become hard and neck or back compensations may appear.

At Kinésica we combine manual therapy and osteopathy to improve glenohumeral and scapular mobility, with gentle manipulations as tolerated. We add muscle-chain work and RPG to reorganize movement patterns.

Assessment identifies the phase and load tolerance. We progress with dosed mobility, scapular control and a clear self-care plan until useful function returns.
