Frozen Shoulder Exercises

As the name suggests, frozen shoulder is a condition when the shoulder becomes stiff and loses its mobility, literally becoming frozen. Any attempt at moving the shoulder results in extreme pain. As such, the shoulder is better left without any movement. No wonder, people suffering from frozen shoulder feel as if they have been crippled. This also suggests as to why such people better empathize with those who have accidently lost their arms, but with more physical pain. The only option for people with frozen shoulder is to ‘thaw’ their arms, in case they wish to live life same as before. But before that, they need to understand that frozen shoulder is a protective mechanism. Most commonly it results from inflammation around the shoulder joint. The shoulder gets stiff to avoid further injury, and forces the person to give the shoulder a rest, so that it can heal properly. In most cases, frozen shoulder is not a cause of concern. Performing a number of exercises not only helps conquer the pain, but also helps regain the mobility. These exercises also accelerate the healing process, so that one can regain the function of the arm at the earliest. Read below to know what these various frozen shoulder exercises are.
