Frozen Shoulder

Understanding Frozen Shoulder: What It Feels Like

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) causes intense stiffness and limited movement in the shoulder, often feeling worse when reaching overhead or behind the back. Everyday tasks like dressing, reaching, or lifting become painful or restricted. You may experience long periods of tightness or a dull ache that keeps you awake at night or limits arm movement. It typically worsens gradually and can last months without active treatment.

How We Treat Frozen Shoulder in Melaka

At Manipal Rehabilitation Centre, your recovery begins with a careful shoulder assessment to determine movement range limitations and pain patterns. We use gentle joint mobilisation techniques, passive stretching, and specific manual therapy to restore movement. As flexibility improves, we progress to active assisted exercises, rotator cuff activation, scapular stabilisation, and daily mobility drills to help you return to normal function.

Our treatment also includes adjunct modalities such as ultrasound therapy, kinesiology taping, and TENS to reduce pain and improve circulation. Throughout the programme, we educate you about posture, sleep positions, and ergonomic adjustments at home to maximise shoulder comfort and prevent relapse. Most patients experience gradual improvement within weeks, supported by consistent physiotherapy and compliance.
