Introduction
Introduction
What is a Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)?
Frozen Shoulder, clinically known as Adhesive Capsulitis, is a severe condition where the connective tissue capsule surrounding the shoulder joint becomes inflamed, thickens, and severely tightens. It effectively "glues" the shoulder joint shut.
Unlike a standard rotator cuff tear or muscle strain, a frozen shoulder severely limits both active range of motion (you trying to lift your arm) and passive range of motion (a therapist trying to lift your arm for you).
Stages

The 3 Stages of a Frozen Shoulder
Adhesive Capsulitis is a progressive condition. Identifying which stage you are in is critical for applying the correct clinical treatment.
Stage 1: The Freezing Stage (Pain Predominant):
Stage 1: The Freezing Stage (Pain Predominant):
Stage 1: The Freezing Stage (Pain Predominant):
Lasts 2 to 9 months. The shoulder capsule becomes highly inflamed. Any movement causes sharp, severe pain. Night pain is intense, making it nearly impossible to sleep on the affected side. Range of motion begins to decrease.

Stage 2: The Frozen Stage (Stiffness Predominant):
Lasts 4 to 12 months. The sharp pain may slightly decrease, but the shoulder capsule becomes fully fibrotic and rigid. You physically cannot lift your arm to wash your hair, reach for a seatbelt, or put on a jacket.

Stage 3: The Thawing Stage (Recovery):
Stage 3: The Thawing Stage (Recovery):
Stage 3: The Thawing Stage (Recovery):
Lasts 5 to 24 months. The capsule slowly begins to loosen, and normal range of motion gradually returns. Our clinical rehab protocol is designed to aggressively accelerate this phase so you do not have to wait two years to use your arm.

Our Frozen Shoulder Physiotherapy Protocol
Traditional advice often tells patients to "just wait it out" or gives them basic wall-crawling exercises. At Redux Movement, we use a mechanical and neurological approach to break the adhesions and force the capsule to release.

Pain Modulation & Nervous System Reset
During the "Freezing" stage, the nervous system is highly reactive. We use Dolphin Neurostim (MPS) and Medical Acupuncture to down-regulate the sympathetic nervous system, reduce intense joint inflammation, and allow you to sleep through the night.

Breaking the Adhesions (Capsular Release)
Once the severe inflammation is controlled, we must physically break the fibrotic tissue in the joint capsule.
RAPID Neurofascial Reset: We use active, high-tension release techniques to separate the "glued" tissue surrounding the rotator cuff and joint capsule.
Advanced Joint Mobilization: Our Registered Physiotherapists apply specific, graded glides to the glenohumeral joint to stretch the contracted capsule mechanically.

Restoring Motor Control
As the joint unlocks, the surrounding muscles are often incredibly weak from months of disuse. We implement a targeted strengthening protocol to rebuild the rotator cuff and stabilize the scapula (shoulder blade) so your mechanics return to normal.
