your shoulder and doing your exercises. With time

range of motion in your shoulder. In this blog

1. Freezing Stage
The freezing stage of the frozen shoulder is the
first stage of the condition. The pain may be
worse at night or when you try to move your
shoulder. This stage can last anywhere from 2 to
9 months. During the freezing stage, the

water bottle, or ice pack.

improvement in the range of motion of the
shoulder. The pain will continue to lessen, and
the shoulder will become easier to move. This
stage can last anywhere from 6 to 24
months. During the thawing stage, the shoulder
joint capsule begins to loosen up. This allows

starts to lessen. The shoulder may still be a
bit stiff, but it will gradually improve over
time. To help speed up the recovery process
