Frequently Asked Questions

Can physiotherapy cure frozen shoulder?

Physiotherapy significantly helps frozen shoulder though full recovery takes 12-24 months. Treatment manages pain, maintains mobility, and accelerates recovery through targeted exercises and manual therapy.

Should I rest my shoulder injury?

Complete rest worsens most shoulder problems. Relative rest (avoiding aggravating activities while maintaining gentle movement) produces better outcomes. Your physiotherapist guides appropriate activity levels.
