Common Causes of Frozen Shoulder
Several factors can contribute to frozen shoulder development. 1. Prolonged Shoulder Immobility: Keeping the shoulder inactive after injury, surgery, or fracture can increase stiffness and lead to frozen shoulder. 2. Diabetes: People with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing frozen shoulder due to changes in connective tissues. 3. Age and Gender: Frozen shoulder is more common in people between 40 and 60 years of age and often affects women more frequently. 4. Shoulder Injuries: Previous shoulder injuries, rotator cuff problems, or inflammation can contribute to restricted movement. 5. Poor Posture and Sedentary Lifestyle: Long hours of sitting, poor posture, and lack of physical activity can increase muscle tightness around the shoulder. How Physiotherapy Helps Frozen Shoulder: Physiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for frozen shoulder. It focuses on reducing pain, improving flexibility, and restoring shoulder function safely. At Ameyam Physio and Child Development Center, physiotherapists carefully assess the patient’s shoulder condition and create customized rehabilitation programs.
