How does a Frozen Shoulder develop?

Enclosed in a capsule of connective tissue, the walls of this capsule covering the shoulder joint thickens and tighten, restricting arm movement.

It can sometimes happen due to heavy lifting or can occur after someone has gone through surgery or an arm fracture and can also happen if someone is keeping their shoulder still for a long period.

In this initial stage, the movement of your shoulder will cause immense pain and mobility will decrease and you won't be able to move your shoulder as freely as before.

Stage tenure - 2-9 months

This is the main stage, although the pain might decrease, the shoulder will go stiffer causing more difficult to move.

Stage tenure - 4-12 months

This is the stage of relief, your shoulder's ability to move increases gradually with the pain subsiding.

Stage tenure - 5-24 months
