Frozen shoulder
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is a painful, stiffening shoulder that loses range in a fairly predictable pattern — often painful first, then stiff, then gradually easing over time. It can be frustrating and slow, and it affects sleep and everyday tasks.
We can help manage the pain and keep as much movement as possible through it, and support the shoulder along with the mid-back and neck around it.
The whole-body view
A frozen shoulder doesn’t happen in isolation — the shoulder blade, mid-back and neck all affect how the shoulder moves and copes. Keeping those moving well, easing the protective muscle tension, and working within what the shoulder allows can help you stay more comfortable and functional as it goes through its stages.
How we help
Treatment eases pain and muscular guarding, keeps the surrounding shoulder blade, mid-back and neck moving, and gently encourages movement within what the shoulder will tolerate at each stage.
We’re honest about timescales — frozen shoulder often takes time — and we’ll tell you if it’s a case that needs your GP or a specialist opinion.
Common questions
Can osteopathy fix a frozen shoulder?
We can help manage the pain and keep movement and the surrounding areas working well through it — but frozen shoulder largely runs its course over time, and we’re honest about that.
How long does frozen shoulder last?
It varies and can be slow — often many months through its stages. We’ll give you a realistic picture.
Should I push through the pain?
No — we work within what the shoulder tolerates, which changes through the stages. Forcing it tends to flare it.
When should I see my GP?
If it’s severe or not behaving as expected — we’ll flag if you need a GP or specialist opinion.
We’re ready to help you navigate your pain — when you are.
