What Is Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder, also known as Adhesive Capsulitis, is a condition where the shoulder gradually becomes painful and stiff. This happens when the joint capsule thickens and tightens due to inflammation, limiting movement over time.
Everyday actions—like lifting your arm, reaching behind, or even sleeping comfortably—start becoming difficult.
It’s most common in people aged 40–60, especially women and individuals with diabetes.
The 3 Stages of Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder develops slowly in phases. Understanding your stage helps you choose the right treatment at the right time.
Stage 1: Freezing Phase (Pain Increases)
Duration: 6 weeks – 9 months
Pain gradually builds up and worsens with movement or at night. Many people ignore it at this stage, delaying treatment.
Symptoms:
- Dull, aching shoulder pain
- Pain radiating down the arm
- Sleep disturbance
- Early loss of movement
Why Kinetiq Care matters here:
This is the most important stage to act early. With Kinetiq Care’s tele-rehab, you can:
- Get early diagnosis from experts online
- Start guided pain-relief exercises immediately
- Avoid worsening without waiting for clinic visits
Early virtual intervention can slow down or even prevent severe stiffness.
Stage 2: Frozen Phase (Severe Stiffness)
Duration: 4 – 12 months
Pain may reduce slightly, but stiffness becomes severe. Movement is highly restricted.
Symptoms:
- Limited range in all directions
- Difficulty in daily activities (dressing, driving)
- Weakness due to less usage
- Frustration and reduced productivity
Why Kinetiq Care is crucial here:
This is where most people struggle—and consistency becomes everything.
With tele-rehabilitation:
- You get step-by-step guided mobility sessions at home
- Therapists track your progress weekly
- No need to skip sessions due to travel pain
- Exercises are customised to your exact stiffness level
This prevents the condition from becoming long-term and disabling.
Stage 3: Thawing Phase (Recovery Begins)
Duration: 6 months – 2 years
Movement slowly returns, and pain continues to reduce.
Signs of recovery:
- Improved range of motion
- Better sleep
- Gradual return to normal activities
- Increasing strength
