Frozen shoulder causes pain and restricted shoulder movement. It can affect sleep and everyday activities. Physiotherapy may help improve movement through an individually selected exercise plan. Recovery can take months or longer, so a fixed number of sessions cannot guarantee recovery.

Frozen Shoulder Physiotherapy in Chennai
Frozen shoulder physiotherapy in Chennai can help reduce shoulder pain and stiffness while gradually improving movement and flexibility. Frozen shoulder, medically known as adhesive capsulitis, occurs when the tissues surrounding the shoulder joint become tight and restrict normal movement.
At Fitsiomax, our physiotherapists assess your pain, shoulder mobility, range of motion, and functional limitations before creating a personalised treatment plan. Depending on your condition, treatment may include manual therapy, joint mobilisation, gentle stretching, shoulder mobility exercises, and progressive strengthening exercises.
The goal of physiotherapy is to reduce pain, restore shoulder movement, improve daily function, and support a safe recovery. Your treatment plan is adjusted according to your symptoms and stage of frozen shoulder.
