Frozen shoulder can be a very painful problem, and it occurs when the tissue capsule that houses the bones, ligaments and tendons of the shoulder becomes inflamed which makes movements difficult and painful as the joint is not lubricated properly.

This means that the patient has difficulty in reaching for objects, putting on jackets and can even avoid sleeping on it or moving it altogether, which means that over time the shoulder becomes very stiff or ‘frozen’. The exact cause of the condition is unknown, but it is often caused by the body reacting to a minor injury and trying to heal the body with extra scar tissue, causing the shoulder capsule to thicken. It can also be due to all sorts of hormonal and physiological problems which makes the condition very complicated.

If you are suffering from frozen shoulder, then you will require some form of assistance to help you regain full mobility, and I can help with a programme of osteopathic treatment.
