Frozen Shoulder

At Essex Coast Physio, we help people recover from frozen shoulder with personalised, hands-on treatment. We focus on reducing pain, improving range of motion, and helping you regain full movement and function in your shoulder.

What Is Frozen Shoulder?

Without treatment, a frozen shoulder can take up to 18 months to heal. It does not have to be this way. Get the treatment you need to be back at your best in weeks.

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, occurs when the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint thickens and tightens, leading to severe stiffness and pain. As movement becomes increasingly restricted, even the simplest tasks—like reaching for a seatbelt, putting on a jacket, or washing your hair—become frustratingly difficult. Without treatment, frozen shoulder can linger for well over a year, slowly eroding your ability to stay active and independent.

How Can Frozen Shoulder affect you?

Many of our patients describe the same story: at first, it’s just a little stiffness. You assume you must have slept awkwardly, and you expect it to pass. But as the weeks go by, the stiffness turns into a deep, aching pain. Lifting your arm becomes nearly impossible. You start avoiding things you love—playing golf with friends, reaching up to lift your grandchild, or even driving your car with ease. Everyday life begins to feel restricted. You feel trapped in your own body, hesitant to commit to plans because you’re unsure how much pain your shoulder will allow.

But you don’t have to wait for frozen shoulder to run its course.
