Frozen Shoulder Treatment London
Frozen Shoulder Treatment London
Frozen shoulder is a painful condition that causes stiffness and reduced movement within the shoulder joint. It often develops gradually over time and can begin to affect everyday activities such as reaching, lifting, dressing, and sleeping.
At Seventeen Physio, we provide expert frozen shoulder treatment in London tailored to your symptoms, mobility restrictions, and recovery goals. Our physiotherapists focus on reducing pain, improving shoulder movement, and helping you regain confidence in daily activity.
What Is Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, occurs when the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint becomes irritated and stiff.
This can lead to progressive pain and a significant reduction in shoulder mobility.
The condition typically develops slowly and often progresses through different stages, including pain, stiffness, and gradual recovery.
Frozen shoulder can affect people differently, with some experiencing mild restriction while others struggle with severe movement limitations.
