Mobility Exercises for Frozen Shoulder🥶Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a result of thickening of the structures that hold and support the shoulder joint. Closer evaluation of the thickened tissue has revealed a dense collagen matrix consisting of type III collagen which can result in limited mobility through the shoulder joint commonly in what we refer to as a capsular pattern - meaning you have limitations in external rotation, abduction and flexion, and lastly internal rotation.

Frozen Shoulder Anatomy Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that affects the shoulder joint, causing pain and stiffness. The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint, consisting of: 1. Humerus (arm bone): The "ball" of the joint. 2. Scapula (shoulder blade): The "socket" of the joint, called the glenoid. 3. Joint capsule: A connective tissue structure surrounding the shoulder joint that allows movement. In frozen shoulder, this capsule becomes thickened and tight, restricting the
