known as frozen
shoulder or periarthritis,
affects between 2% to 5
% of the adult population
and 10-20% of cases from
people suffering from

STAGE 1
Loss of external rotation with intact rotator
cuff strength
11. Motion is limited in all directions and can’t
be restored with intra-articular injections.
STAGE 2

STAGE 3
LIMITATION
Significant adhesion and limited GH
motions, with substitute motions in
scapula.
Atrophy of muscles is noted
‘’FROZEN’’
(9-15 Months)
PAIN: only with motion / end
ROM
16. GOAL OF THERAPY DURING THERAPY MODALITIES
- interrupt cycle of inflammation
and pain
- daily activity modification
- pain limited ROM
- patient education
• Postural training to discourage
thoracic kyphosis and a forward
humeral head position during
forward elevation.
• Gentle passive joint
mobilization and hydrotherapy
to stimulate joint
mechanoreceptors and decrease
nociceptive input (Owens-
Burkhart, 1991)
• TENS for pain management
• Cryotherapy to reduce
inflammation

17. GOAL OF THERAPY DURING THERAPY MODALITIES
- decrease inflammation and
reduce pain
- minimize capsular restriction
- Activity modification to manage
painful activities
• Joint mobilizations and glides • Passive ROM
• Pendulum exercises

19. GOAL OF THERAPY DURING THERAPY ADDITIONAL HOME EXERCISES
- Minimize capsular adhesions and
restriction of movement
- Reducing pain and inflammation
• Passive joint glides for mobility
of capsule Shoulder through
abduction, adduction, flexion
and extension
• Proprioceptive neuromuscular
facilitation
• Soft tissue mobilization of the
subscapularis and pectoralis
minor
• Shoulder internal/external
rotation ROM scapula,
stretching and self mobilization

21. GOAL OF THERAPY DURING THERAPY MODALITIES
- Continue increasing ranges of
motion
- Retrain abnormal scapulohumeral
rhythm mechanics
- Restoration of full function
• Prolonged low-load stretching
with active warm up
• Mobilization with movement
(MWM) techniques to retrain
muscle function for proper
tracking of the humeral head
• Heat (promote relaxation of
musculature)
