I love the “reach around”. It is a great maneuver.

Thank you for the good message

Thanks for showing these 3 simple exercises. It should be really effective. I hope 🙏👍🙏

Thank you, this is really helpful. I've just been diagnosed with this. 😊

I'm a man in my 50s. I've had it for 18 months. First 4 months I did nothing thinking it was an injury that would heal. When it didn't heal and got worse I saw doctor. Did PT for a few months. Painful because they make you force it past your comfortable range. A few times she put me in intense pain. I hated my therapist and called her my dominatrix.The more you do the PT exercises at home the better. Hard to do because you have to force it into the painful range in order to regain some range and you have to do this a few times a day to maintain it. After about 8 months since it started it was noticeably less painful and had more range. Today after 18 months the range is about 90%. Still hurts at extreme range but I rarely need to move in that range for any tasks. Not a big deal since it no longer prevents me from doing anything (lifting overhead, putting on a coat, etc.). I'd never heard of frozen shoulder until I was diagnosed with it.

well ive had frozen shoulder for 13 months now, i didnt do anything for the first 2 months, until it became unbearable, by that time the covid made it impossible to see anybody, eventually i was able to see a private physioytherapist for 12 sessions, but had to stop due to work committments, the expense and very little progress and the pain i was sufferring, eventually i was able to see somebody on the NHS, but unknown to me i was only allowed 12 sessions. Yes i have seen some progress at last, but its only about 70% recovered. I will continue with the exercises, including some killers, eg pushing a ball up the wall and using a door jamb to do some stretches. As for seeing another physio, i dont know if i can or want to.

Thank you, chaps, I'll give these a go.

In the recovery room he came in and moved my arm and shoulder and said he felt pretty confident that if I did the therapy and the work, I would get almost complete movement back. I was in therapy at 7:00 AM the next morning and the block ware off during the therapy, and while I felt pain, it was almost a relief type pain. Hard to explain, but I have never had to have surgery again. I do have to keep moving my arm, shoulder to keep it loose, but it is so worth it! Good luck Ja B!

I am 60 and facing this Problem on my right side. Will practice this... Thanks so much.

Nice simple stretches that I've been using and it does help if you stay consistent. If the shoulder is frozen/stiff, getting back mobility is going to hurt a little as your breaking things up, can you just suck it up if your pain tolerance is high and really push these stretches? And how far is too far?

Why does it need a stretch in the first place? I have no pain in the shoulder. It’s mainly in the forearm. Why the forearm?

Thanks! Wish I had found this sooner, By coincidence, I started doing these three exercises, just because they felt good on my injured shoulder (haven’t had a physio session yet, and now might not need one). With these, I have been developing greater range of motion.

Surely, you can't do these exercises in the freezing stage when a slight mouvement can increase the inflamation?😮😮

My shoulder is agony to even move a fractionbut am gonna try these every hour...wanna cry just moving it

The answer is simple, but it takes someone with frozen shoulder to figure it out ~ Me! And i want to help others. Relax, lay on your bed, on your back, as dark and quiet as possible. Early AM is best. Slow, slow, i mean very, VERY SLOW arm movements in all directions. As you feel yourself tensing, stop for a second and relax, concentrate, then continue. Experiment with the movements. Going slow lets you sense when pain is approaching. Go through painful areas even sloooower. I can't say it enough... slow, and relax when you realize you're tensing. You'll find that your muscles will have permission to let go. It'll be a weird feeling, but you'll feel the adhesions let go, one by one. It's magic! You can move your arm pain free in all directions and you did it in bed, lazy, lol. Do every morning for improvement each day. Tips: Push your shoulder towards the floor, into the bed whenever you lift your elbow off the bed. A bent arm is easier to raise than a straight arm. Whenever you lift your hand over your head (towards your headboard) push your shoulder blade back and down. Think of squeezing your two shoulder blades down and together. You'll need about an hour per day so wake up 1 hour early and do it just before you get up out of bed. THEN, You can skip the stretches, but do strength exercises two to three times a week to improve mobility.

I'm not as experienced as them and I hope they reply to you, but as per my understanding, the pain arises from lack of mobility and not inability to bear weight, if you have developed full range of motion, doing body weight exercises shouldn't cause any problem, you should heat the shoulder with a hot bag to avoid microtears, and later ice it post workout to prevent any inflammation.

Im myself suffering frozen shoulder & thinking of asking my Doc for an injection, the next time i visit him. EDIT:- Side effects of cortisone injections for frozen shoulder as mentioned in Google are very scary.

Dr. Geier: You are being irresponsible in not telling people the hidden risks associated with some of these exercises, especially the door-frame stretches. I am a guy recovering from a frozen shoulder (why do they always say "this mostly affects women" ...doesn't make me feel any better) and I've been doing these exercises daily. They really seemed to help and things were going great ...until my wife discovered my greasy fingerprints all around the door frame. So if you do this and don't wan't to face the dangerous wrath of a house-proud spouse ...wash your hands really well first!!!
